i weigh 242 now i went down to 190 then had the band removed and went back to 242 since August of last year. Thanks. I am just scared trying to see if weight loss is successful during rebanding

Have you had your new band put in? I get rebanded on August 31, 2011. I was just wondering how the rebanding process has been.

Girl, I feel you. My story was kinda different i was the small girl 125-130, then i got on the depo gained 200 lbs, i have been trying since 1996 to lose it never did so i decided i was going to be fat. My husband started cheating on me, i went to prison and got my life back, but i was still fat so i dealt with self-esteem from being that size 6-8 to being a 22-24. I decided to get banded in March of 07 I was 250 lbs i am now down to 205 and found a wonderful man!!!! I am getting married in 10 days but i went up in age he is 46 ( i am 34)and is the best thing other than my children to ever happen to me! So believe me it gets greater later!

Did i say i go to the gym, 3x a week for at least an hour.

I have the smallest size band (4) and in december was filled to 3.5, but if my memory serves me right i started eating because i was stressed that i had to go back and get the fluid out because i hiccuped and burped for 45mins straight and there was no way to stop it other than go back and get the fluid removed. Now i can eat a full appetizer, salad, meal and polish off desert. It is very hard to get back the motivation I had when i first started. I lost 60lbs in about 7 months, my last fill i was 190 and today i sit here at 215? Very discouraging and that makes me wanna eat even more

Hello my name is Nycia, from DYT Ohio, i was banded on 03/20/2007, back in december i had a bad experience with being over filled and i had to go in and let the doctor remove fluid so i decieded what the heck i am not going back for 2 months well that 2 months turned to 7 months and a gain of 20lbs, please advise if the fluid dissepates out of the band after a while. Thanks
