How to get ur groove back ???
Yes start a good walking program. Sign up for a 5k and train for it. Tell your friends so you will have to do it. I was banded 7/14/2009. I have lost 88lbs. I have 20 pounds to goal. I am training to walk a 13.1 miles on Nov.7, 2010. So maybe if you set a goal and a plan to reach it you will melt away those last pounds. Go for it.

Was this a waste of time?
Are you eating your protien first,then veggies. Do not eat anything that will slide through the band. Walk at least 40 mins a day. I was banded on July 14 2009 I have lost 88 pounds following these rules. I am also training to walk 13.1 miles in Nov. Write down what you are eating and when you may be eating too much. It will work it is a tool and you need to learn how to use it.

I own a pair and they are great my knees and hips they do not hurt at the end of the day. I work in food service and I so a lot of walking and standing.

Is there any more pain if you have hiatal hernia repair with Lap Band placement?
I had the same thing done. I was back at work 6 days. I work in food service, so I did not do heavy pushing, and pulling or lifting for a total of 2 weeks. I had my gallbladder taken out 6 weeks before that, so I am here to say it must not have been to bad because I would do it all again. Today -58 lbs goal below 200 for the New Year.
