I have lost 40lbs and lost about a half shoe size. my husband thought I was crazy when I told my boots were toooo big.

I am so glad that I found this site. It must of been fate. I have looked up lapband info before and never came across this site. I think it will be a great tool in helping me get back on track. Some days I get to feeling like a failure because I have been stuck for a year, when someone says Oh You look the same. I am grateful that I only gained ten pounds considering the year I have had and falling back into the old habits. I only know one other person who has had the surgery and she has done great. I am getting back on the bicycle. Here I go!!!!!!

i was banded May1,2006. I lost 50 pds by september by walking and walking. I had my first back surgery in October and a disc replacement this last May. My exercise has changed considerably. I have gained 10 pounds back in a year off work. I am not upset by that considering the physical limitations that I had. I would graze while I was home all day and picked up my bad habits again. I had my surgery with Dr Wagner in St Louis mo. My doctor wouldn't do any fills till I got clearance from my back doctor. One of my medications added weight and I freaked out. I am going back in January and getting my third fill now. It has been 6 months since I had my second fill. Has anyone else got stuck? I am hoping that getting a fill at the beginning of the year, and taking my lunch and snacks to work will get me back on track.
