:rolleyes2: Well, I should have started this blog 2 years ago when I was banded, but alas, I didn't. I was banded March 31, 2006. I started @ 250#, lowest point has been 188, back up to 206. I had some issues w/ my band about 8 months ago or so. Something got stuck which started the awful PB cycle, swelling etc...anyway, it got to the point where anything I ate was coming back up. So I had some fluid removed. I really don't remember how much was taken out but I went down to 1.8 cc on a 10 cc medium band. So....here I am about 8 months later and almost 20# heavier because I DIDNT follow the band guidelines. I got lazy. I have to really stop and think.. OK I went through this major surgery to get healthy and now what am I doing! So, I went back to Dr. Snow last week and got a fill to 2.1 cc. So far so good. Feeling the restriction, no complications. Today is Super Bowl Sunday and my fill was on Wednesday. So, in 5 days I'm down 3 pounds. I am happy. I am again getting on track. I am going to start blogging regularly (hopefully) just as an accountability measure for myself and to have emotional release. Also, because if anyone chooses to read this blog I want to have a positive impact on someone else who has been banded. Being overweight is torture for the mind, body and soul. I am not a vain person. I just want to be healthy. So, the journey begins again..........Stay tuned!
