This is funny that you post this. After 2.5 years of being banded, I opted to have my band completely unfilled... very bad idea. I went today for a fill and found out that after 120lbs lost, I gained back 40 in 4 months! I'm SO disappointed in myself. I am happy that I'm back on track, but learning how to do this all over again is totally not worth it... just my opinion :-)

WOW guys, sorry I dropped off there for a while. Back in Nov 2012 I had all of the saline removed from my band... BAD IDEA. I thought I was past the need for the band and wanted to do it on my own. It is amazing at how fast I forgot about portioning. I am going back tomorrow morning to have it put back in as I have gained 15lbs. I am not a happy camper, but it's never too late to start again, right? I'd love to hear how everyone's holidays were, what you struggle with the most. I need to get back to the grind. I didn't come all this way to mess it up for myself...

I want to thank you for your post. It was a real eye opener, and made me realize that I, too, was "eating around the band." I had my second fill today, and am really feeling what it is like to have restriction. It is re-assuring! Good luck!:thumbup:

Sibom,
I am sorry to hear that you are struggling. I was banded on May 5th 2010 as well, and have lost 28lbs so far. I have been having a hard time staying full. I had my first fill June 14th, and did not get much restriction with it. I go for my second today. Hang in there, keep at it. It can only get better with each fill! Good luck to all!

I got my approval last week, and I am set with a date of May 5th!!! I cannot wait! I have been patiently waiting, and finally, it has come! Best wishes to all my fellow May bandsters!

Hello everyone! I have been banded since May 2010... I lost 120lbs and was down to 160, after 2 years! Then I, too, became complacent and decided that I'd start having my band loosened. BIG mistake. I gained 40lbs back within a few months. I got used to the full feeling the band provides, and I no longer had that and I lost sight of Portion Control. I've been tightened since April and lost 20 of the 40 I gained... I'm back on here now because I need help getting encouraged to start exercising again... any suggestions on how to get motivated to restart my routine?
