Newsy: Bless your heart, I am back to my starting wt! All the wt. I lost was there again, talk about feeling awful! I finally bit the bullet and went back to my surgeon. He said some people need a tighter fill, and that all we need to do is fill, and get back on track. Because of embarrassment, I have been struggling with this since January! Your surgeon is there to help. I agree with everyone else, we didn't go thru all of this to feel that way. You will be fine we all will. Your post and everyone's replies have been such a blessing to me. Thank you soooo much! Amy

Hi Ya'all: I am also from TX. Wichita Falls. I have been banded for over a year, fell off the wagon due to embarassment, and am getting my first fill since January 07! I want this to be heard because I would hate for any of you all to go thru what I have. You see the surgeon who banded me, gave very small fills. Because of His gruff ways, I never told Him that I was hungry ALL THE TIME. I went on different diet plans without succes, became depressed and gained ALL MY WT BACK! My fault. I found another surgeon who is taking me on. I get my 1st fill today and am hoping for a full cc. He is also setting me up with a nutritionist, and am joining a gym for a spin class. I almost missed out on a wonderfull gift because of fear, but THANK GOD, I.m not. All will be well. I hope that you accept me into your group, even though in the past I have failed. Amy

I don't have them yet, but do have partials. It is difficult for me to chew some meat. I have to take very small bits, but it can be done.
