hello everyone, my name is maria but i like to be called mer. been having a rough time lately with the weight loss. i had my band surgery on june 18, 2007. the surgery was easy, hardly any pain and i healed fast. i haven't lost that much weight and in fact the past month or two i have been gaining. at first after the surgery i did lose because i was in that zone to lose and with the restrictions from the band helped. exercised alittle too. everytime i noticed i was eating more than ishould i would go in for a fill. after the first couple of months everytime i went in for afill i would make an appt for my next fill. the first 13 months were free fills so why not and if i felt i didn't need afill then it was no problem cancelling. by the time my first year aniversary came around i had lost about 70 pounds. which is good but not good enough in my mind. i stayed at about 70lb loss for afew months then i had foot surgery so i was unable to walk around for acouple months and so i became bored. for me bored equals eating. while i was recovering i started to gain but then when i was able to walk on my foot the weight gain slowed, alittle. i thought when i would return to work it would get me back on some sort of routine but no. i just made an appt for a fill. i'm alittle embarrased because of the weight gain and almost didn't make the apt but i need to get back into eating better so i worked through that fear and called. any way just wanted to say hi and let you know where im at in my laplife. sorry it was so long:smile: mer
