Rebecca - I think it is mainly self-sabotage, which I'm really freakin good at unfortunately! In the back of my rational mind, I know everything is fine but I like to worry and this one possible complication really has my number. I also got laid off 2 weeks ago so I think the stress has just turned me into a ball of anxiety. Actually the reason I joined this site tonight is because I ate dinner WAY too fast and I got some food stuck, and PB'ed for a while, I think it passed finally but I've been sitting here on the verge of tears that I've totally destroyed this amazing tool that my parents just paid cash for....ugh I really hate these bad days. Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. :cursing:

I was banded May 14th and have lost 65 pounds since. I feel great but I'm afraid that I'm "losing respect" for my band. I have overeaten and few times (never to the point of vomiting, but some discomfort) and I'm terrified that I've already stretched out my pouch or have caused slippage. I had my second fill a few weeks ago and it is a great amount, but I'm having a hard time adjusting to the restriction this time. I love food and I feel like I'm losing a grip on this addiction again. Is anyone else scared that they've "screwed" something up??? I've been obsessing over this fear so much that it's affecting my head. All I do is think about what damage I've (possibly) done. HELP!!!! :cursing: :thumbup:
