Lapband Surgery

I have recently had lapband surgery in June of 2010. I have lost 76 lbs. I went from a size 18 pants down to a 6/8 pant size now. It has been a very long road. My band had slipped about 4 weeks ago. I had to have it repositioned. It was almost like having the surgery all over again. It was a much harder process this time. I had to do the whole liquid and soft diets again. I did not set very well with me the second time. I was not looking forward to having to go through that beginning stages all over again. .
