  6. Hi I was banded in 2006... I'm at my sweet spot.. I started off right at 240 lbs.. I'm down to 130/135... I still have trouble with some foods.. Like you I would love some feedback...

  9. I'm so sorry you had to have your band removed.. Never give up on yourself.. You say you have good eating habits and you work out five days a week.. That's a big plus for you. You hang in there.
  10. 2006.. I love my band, even when it has a mind of it's own ????
  11. I have had been band since 2006, it slipped in 2008. That's the sickest I have ever been on my life.. I was dehydrated couldn't keep anything down. Couldn't walk I was so sick. Lucky for me I had a great doctor, had emergency surgery that night, he fixed everything and no more trouble. Good luck to you... Hope everything goes well for you..
  12. I started off weighting 240. I am now at 135. Weight loss 105!!
  13. I love the 5 day pouch test! Let's you know your band is still working!
  14. I have been banded for almost 8 years. I can eat something one day and the very next day I try to eat the same thing.. And can't keep it down! The band has a mind of it's on no matter how long you've had it!
