Hi everyone-
I had my surgery three years ago (2007) and then a year later I had to have a revision b/c my band slipped b/c I was not being honest with my doc. about how much I was throwing up. Since then things have been ok. I take heartburn meds everyday b/c I suffer from that, but even so, I am happy that I made the decision to complete this process. My surgeon was Dr. Guske with Suburban Surgical Care and I have lost about 70-80lbs. My main issue now and has been is making good food choices b/c I seem to always eat junkfood and I have not found my niche for exercising so the inches are creeping back and I am really struggling with this. Anyone have any advice for me?
