People are so judgmental and by reading some of the caustic remarks from my post it's very disappointing that I cannot make a comment without feeling attacked. . My band was fine for over a year and all of a sudden became too tight. To answer your question there is nothing wrong with me and I am not an idiot like you suggest. In fact all of my fluid has been removed. For a split moment it felt good to lose weight quickly it has been a long process for me. I would have loved to have made my goal weight with no problems however that was not an option for me. Mr Dr had to remove all the fluid I had to get an upper GI and now back to square 1 with slowly adding fluid back. So "Seriously" keep your holier than thou tone to yourself. Those of you that gave me kind advice I thank you I wish there wasn't haters here too we are all in the same boat, we all need help and we all need to support each other without passing judgement.
