It has been 4 1/2 years since I was banded and I have had a variety of ups and downs with my weight. I have remained the same weight now for the pat two years and that is 87 pounds lost since I started this journey. I do miss eating a lot of things I could before being banded but I definitely don't miss the weight, the way I used to feel and all the medications I used to take, so I guess it is a good trade off. I still find myself falling into old eating habits at times and hopefully some day I won't do that any longer. I am no longer diabetic, I don't have high blood pressure, I can walk without my ankles and back killing me and have more energy than I know what to do with. Some have asked if I regret my decision to take this course of weight loss, my answer.....I miss some things but I definitely do not regret for one minute my decision. I keep a picture of the "old me" on the fridge as a reminder that I never want to go back there again.
