You are all so kind!! I feel at home here.

Congrats on your new friend. My band has been my best friend for 2 years and a half.I had my first filling a year after surgery, a year during which I lost 50 kg (more than 100lbs,I think). I was determined to make it work and that helped me a lot.

I've just joined this forum. I'm Italian, 61 years old. I've been banded since may 10th 2011. I've lost 50 kg (about 100 lbs) . I've gained 5 kg back,but I think it is something that happens to most people. My band is my best friend. When I had my lap band surgery I knew it was the last chance life was giving me e that, if I failed, I would live (and die) as an obese. This is the reason why I'm determined to make my band work. Here in Italy, when there are no more chances left, we say "it's my last shore". I hope you can help me not to give up..

You are not defeated.I'm not good at giving advice about medical questions, but I'm sure you can have a fresh start and lose weight. You have lost a battle, but ours is a long war , which we will win!!! I'm Italian..forgive my English
