BikeCincy

Hello everyone! I'm actually from Northern Kentucky, but I'd love to be part of the group and offer any support I can.
I was banded in 2008 in Cincinnati with Dr. Trace Curry. I started at 285 lbs and got down to 130 lbs.
Currently, I'm 170 lbs - but I just had my first child 9 weeks ago and I'm working to lose the weight I've gained during my pregnancy.
Getting the band was the greatest decision I've made in regards to my health and weight. In the beginning I had a lot of problems, but they were all my fault.
Please feel free to ask me any questions or just spark conversation! I love helping others and learning things from you all.
Thanks!

Hang in there!! It can be really frustrating in the beginning, and dealing with insurance is never fun, but it will be worth it!
Right now I wouldn't worry about gaining anything back. I had to do 2 weeks of liquid diet before my surgery and I didn't lose hardly anything - and a few days before surgery I was eating things I wasn't supposed to because of emotional eating.
It's been 5 years since I had my band and things are great. And good for you for ranting! It's best to just get it out. We are all here to listen!
