First, I'm not sure how you can "Mess Up" your band......
Whenever I read posts such as these, I always ask myself "Is it the person who is at fault? OR is the Band not functioning as it should be"
I feel a lot of people on this forum are too hard on themselves when they should be asking themselves why is the band not helping me???
There is a reason we all had this surgery after all......
Not to step on anyone's toes...but it always makes me scratch my head when I read posts where people did great for a long time, then "Fell Off the Wagon" and "Need to get back On Track"
And when I read the Title "Failure" well, it get's my blood going...I don't like it....something is out of balance although it is not my place to tell anyone what I think...only what I know from my experience...
So I ask myself.....
What happened? Did the band spring a leak? was there some medical issue and they needed their band emptied? (which is usually the case)...or was the band not properly adjusted in the first place, and their weight loss was more dependent upon themselves as opposed to the band.....and they finally lost their motivation as was the case for me with all those traditional diets I tried and eventually failed at....
But this is different...this is SURGERY....
Early on, I was up and down, forward and backward and even upside down with this weight loss stuff....UNTIL my Dr. finally got the band, (and me) adjusted to where a balance was struck.....(took me a good 4-5 months)...after that, everything changed...now I am a firm believer in this.....
Again, not meaning to step on anyone's toes, it's just where my head is with all this....
