I was banded May 2005. I have gone from 375 to my current weight of 125. I thought everything was going great until about 6 months ago started having acid reflux. Went to my Dr and we did an upper GI and found out band had slipped. Having it removed 1/21. I am truly heart broken. I feel like all my hard work has been for nothing. I worked so hard to get to this point and I DO NOT ever want to go back. No one seems to understand my sadness. All I hear from them is thats life or it will be fine. NO IT WILL NOT BE FINE!!!!! Just wish they understood. Thanks for letting me vent a little.

I had to have my band removed in August 2011. I did not revise. I've maintained my weight. It is a struggle, but I'm never going back to where I was before. If you need some tips, feel free to ask me! I'm sending positive thoughts your way!!!
