Today has been 1 motnh since I had my band removed and Iam happy to report I have NOT gained any weight back. I made it through Christmas and all the goodies, booze, & food with no gain. I'm using my head and still working it like a true bandster would. Just thought I'd share this good news with all of you

That is terrific news !!! And I hope your success continues in 2006! Just keep remembering why you had the band in the first place !!!!

But I was just thinking... do bands typically erode as quickly as yours did ????

I never want to be without my band.. not now, not in two years, not in ten years, NEVER.. and I will have mine replaced when the time comes, but I really thought it took longer than 2 years to erode.

Are you finding that you have the phantom band symptoms, or have you just been working your learned eating habits from when your band was in? Either way that is great! Keep it up!

Way to go girl !!! keep it goin'.....

How are you feeling? Any more pain from the surgery or is that alllllll behind you?

Are you finding that you have the phantom band symptoms

I was told I may have the phnatom band symptoms but I have not had them at all. I wish I had them

I did have one epsiode last week while on my period but other then that Iam wide open

Any more pain from the surgery or is that alllllll behind you?

It's all behind me..I am going to start exercising with a personal trainer starting Jan 3rd.

Thank you for staying with us and sharing your good news...even without a band, a support group can be very helpful! You are doing great! Cindy

It couldn't have happened to a nicer person!

I'm so glad for you!
