Well as of right now there is no fluid in my band. My surgeon is supportive, but that is all he is, a surgeon. In a group of just surgeons, not a lap band facility. Mentally, I'm ready now to do this the right way, and with support. I'm even thinking about going to food anonymous groups.

My story begins in 2009. I received the lap band b\c my doctor told me that I was too big for the hysterectomy surgery that I needed or my cysts could, and probably would become cancerous. Believe it or not, I received the my lap band w\in 4months. I did lose just enough weight to have the surgery, but complications came about, and the doctors could not finish removing my cervix. After the surgery depression hit HARD, and now I am heavier then when I first started. My surgeon did not have support groups, nor did I adventure out to find one. I thought I was strong, and did not need one. Boy was I WRONG! I now have a second chance. Yesterday, April 27, 2013, I made a HUGE mistake by eating a piece of steak,and it got logged in my lap band. I am admitting I need help and support. I'm so glad I found this site. To see the disappointing look on my surgeon's face, and the pain I am still going through pains me. It's about time I get my act together, lose weight, and become healthy!
