Hello everyone,

I was banded on May 2008. I have been struggling with gastritis 2 times already it comes and goes and i had to unfill because i could not eat anything but i am going to start all over and i am not going to give up hope.:thumbup:

Change your title from I am a failure!!! Sorry if I am being too direct but if you say you are a failure then that's what you will become or stay. You are stuggling and having issues with your band so that's different than just giving up! Failures give up and you said that you are going to start over and have hope. Good for you and I hope you have success from this point forward. :thumbup:

You are not a failure at all. you are willing to give this another go and that is a champ! You are fortunate because you have experience with which foods upset your stomach the most. Stay away from those foods. stay on track with exercise nad watch those carbs and you will be successful. good luck with you and starting over!!!!!
