So last Monday I went in for my first fill since 2009. I was sooo nervous about completely starting over. My office visit was great. My new physician was amazing; a complete opposite of the my surgeon. I did great with my diet last week and so I decided to get on the scale this morning and GUESS WHAT?????? 5.6lbs GONE I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Starting over feels so good!!!

This blog sounds like me also. I have to convince myself daily that I am not a failure. I actually got banded 3 years ago and fired my surgeon shortly after (poor choice of doctors); however I'm starting over and it feels great. Everyday is one day at a time. I began to blog for the support and day by day, it's getting a little better. I've learned that there is a substitute for every craving, find your fix, you would also be surprised how soon those cravings go away if you just ignore them.

Hi Everyone. I'm new to the blog but not to the band. In Feb 2009, I was banded, 1 week later, I found out I was pregnant. Baby came in October, Surgeon was "disgusted' that I did not lose but 30lb while I was pregnant, was rude and had terrible bedside manner..... Long story short, I KICKED HIM TO THE CURB. Since 2010, I had not seen anyone about my band ( gained 20lbs back). This year I wanted something new, so I did some homework and found a wonderful doctor who has taken over my care. She has given new hope. I went to see her to discuss everything and make sure I was in good hands and yesterday I recieved my first fill since 2010. 3cc. I ate clear liquids yesterday and today. I'm terrified to move forward. I have a lump in my throat( probably fear)........ Any suggestions/advice on how to move forward?? After my situation, I just want to be sucessful

Thanks for the advice guys. I am sooo looking forward to this and can use all the support in the world. I stepped my meals up and so far so good. Better days ahead
