I was banded 11/17/09. I was doing so well in the first 4 months. I lost 30 pounds.

Since then, life has took hold of me. I ended up pregnant, then a miscarriage...then later had to have a d&c because of it. And eventually just getting permanently sterilized as of 11/2.

Its been a really tough year and since all of this I've lost track of myself and my goal of getting to a healthy weight. Thankfully since having the band I haven't stretched it out, my last fill was in August and I had my band checked at that point.

I go for a new fill on 11/22 but I also know I need to get back in touch with the basics. Its like I've forgotten what I need to do to maintain my band and be successful. Tomorrow is my anniversary...and I'm only still at a 30 pound loss.

Someone please help me get back on track. I appreciate it.

Hi there:

I would be more than happy to help you get back to the basics. First, don't minimize your 30 pound weight loss. As you can see, you haven't gained it back so that is great!
