  1. I am 2 years post-banded. Great experience, great surgeon, poor staff. Moved to different city with great staff. Start weight 207, day of surgery 197, today 175, all time low 170, goal weight is 135. When I get to 170, I get scared. Why? I know this is incredibly personal and I don't expect you each to know me, my life experiences and such. BUT, I would like to know if anyone has ever felt that same, and if so, what did you do to move forward? My band is perfectly adjusted and I have a good support staff. It's ME. I choose easy slide foods at night and over eat and sabotage! I am very blessed; healthy happy family, great job, no complaints. Just really upset and embarrassed with my serious lack of control and with a band for 2 YEARS no less! Also, I have chosen to be rather private about this so very few family and friends know. I inadvertently made this a very lonely place for myself and my few friends who do know have a hard time relating to me. Any advice for me fellow banders? Thank you in advance.
