amw804 got a reaction from TheCurvyMermaid in Starting over, 5 years after surgery
I am so happy I found your post. I was banded in 2008. Initially lost 70 pounds but have gained back 30 and still need to lose 80 pounds at least. I am going to schedule an appointment with my surgeon to have my band filled since it is empty since 2011 when I had back surgery. I feel like such a failure.

Do NOT feel like a failure. I was banded in 2008, lost 70 pounds, gained 30 back and have not done anything since. I recently rejoined this board for support because I am restarting. We are not the only ones. There are plenty of people that have restarted. First, call your surgeon and get back in with him/her and make sure your band is ok and then go from there! We are all here for you and cheering you on!

I have had my band for approaching the 5 year mark. I've had successful years and unsuccessful years. I can get weight off to a certain point, but keeping it off is a struggle for me. In fact, I've gained it all back not once, but twice!
I lose steadily if I eat 1100 calories a day, every day, with hardly any deviation and a sedentary lifestyle. When I hit about 175 lbs, the weight no longer comes off.
This time around, I'm trying for a more permanent loss and to incorporate regular exercise. I'm doing things differently and trying to equip myself with knowledge! Hence the question. Plus, I'm a curious gal. I like to know what everybody else is doing!
Please, more people post your answers!
