I LOVE your blog! You have really inspired me to CHOOSE to work harder at my weight loss! I was banded in October of 2009 and I have lost 80 lbs...however have gained 20 of them back...GRRRR! So I went to my doc...she took all my liquid out and put me on full liquids for 7 days. Then she will refill to see if we can start the weight loss all over again. I feel so full of guilt because of the gain and because my dad helped me pay (im a selfpay) for the surgery ...that I wonder if it was really worth it I am 45 yrs old...and single and am beginning to wonder if my weight will keep me single forever ...However after reading your blog I realize it is a CHOICE...I CAN choose the fruit over the chocolate and I CAN choose to walk instead of playing on Facebook...even tho I REALLY enjoy it! lol Thank you!

Hi, I am on the other side of the fence....I was banded in 2009 and I STILL have left shoulder pain. However, my shoulder pain is not gas it is called "refered pain". Or so the doc says. Mine only hurts when I am full! lol Which I guess it has taken a vacation because I don't seem to get full for some reason. So I am wishing my shoulder pain would come back! Good luck to you...I am sure yours will probably go away soon t
