4 years ago i had a band placed in Mexico. It was a great experience and I was very happy and sucessful. A year after the band was in i was in a car accident and got hurt which interupted my excercising. Ive lost about 50 lbs. While recuperating (and a mild case of depression) i fell off the wagon. Also, in that time frame i had an over-fill which was very scary and painful. I haven't had another fill since then, 2+ years ago. To date i've learned to eat around the band. I can eat almost anything and while it may take abit longer i can consume far to much food for a bandie. I know all the rules, i know the suggested restrictions. I am getting back to a healthy body and after 3 surgeries to fix the car accident damage i will begin exersizing soon again. My biggest problem is my fear of the fill that is needed. I have the small band and the difference of 1 cm made the difference between swallowing and the inability to swallow my saliva. I have maintained my weight loss. My weight varies 3-4 lbs from my lowest. Has anyone else stalled out and been able to get back on track? With sucess? I'm a bit frustrated, scared and somewhat reluctant.
