Sounds great. It is wonderful to have someone else to talk to! LaBella :thumbup:

Yes, what you describe it it exactly. I have to live it and realize it is not going to slip away. Gradually relax without going back to old habits - or catching the habits as they begin anyway :smile2:. I am still occasionally getting a little fill in my band. I am at 8 out of 10 right now. Do you still need an occasional fill or did it eventually reach a point where it maintained itself. I don't want to reach a point where I need more and have no more room. Thanks for getting back to me. It is nice having someone ahead of me in the journey to talk to. LaBella :wink2:

Congratulations! You have done what we all are hoping for. I have been banded for a year and a half and am finally within reach of my goal (from 237 to 145). I would like to get to 135 at some point but I am so happy to be where I am. What I am finding is that I live in constant fear that it is going to slip away. That I am going to blink and I will be rolling up near 200 again. Did you find this fear? How did you handle it? Thanks, LaBella :biggrin:
