i began this journey at 280lbs, my surgeon told me inorder for me to have the surgery i would need to lose 20lbs. She sent me on my way to series of test and labs. 6 months later and down 38lbs it was time to get the band. the 1st year i lost 57lbs, and then i had a slip, a revision surgery and then a tragic death in the family that really just sent me on a downward weight loss spiral. I havent gained any of my 95lbs back but i havenet lost any either and I am still40lbs away from my goal. i have spent this last year not being committed to the process and consequently i havent reached my goal weight, but i have not given up. i am determined to finish what i started. so my question is "am i alone in this? is anyone else 1/2 way to goal and need to recommitt to the process?" i welcome the company and the support. time to refocus and put all my WEPNS in place (drinking all my Water, Exercise daily , eat enough Protein, No snacking, taking all my Supplement). i didnt come this far to give up now.

Count me in! I was banded 2 years ago today and had lost 100lbs, I never felt better and everything in my life changed and I regained 60lbs, I lost my focus and motivation along with my health insurance! I got a fill on December 27th and I do feel better, eating much slower and much much smaller portions. Actually feeling full again! I love it!! Had an appointment with a new NUT and all she was was a NUT so i'm back to the basics eating soft foods - no crunchy (thats just me reminding me) and taking it one day at a time. Next will be getting back to the gym and my fill follow up with my new doctor (move states) on the 27th of this month
