I have not had a fill in over a year. I have had a hysterectomy and a couple of procedures on my knee which stopped me from being able to exercise. I have gained alot of my weight back and I was doing so good. I go in to get a fill on the 22nd after one year. Do you think this will jump start my weight loss journey again?

I need some advice. I am feeling really fat and ugly again.

Sure it can restart your weightloss, that is the great thing about the band. It is adjustable and there for you when you are ready. I recently let things slide, not for a year but for several months and gained back some weight. As the pounds came back I started to get down on myself and started to try and talk myself into being too ashamed to go back for a fill where they would see that I was backsliding. But I sucked it up I went in and got a fill and lost the regained pounds and then some.

My advice, review the rules and take the fills slowly until you are where you need to be...and please don't be down on yourself.

I resemble that story.

Same here my dear. I have had more than my fair share of surgeries for breast cancer and reconstruction. I too gained some weight.

I am so grateful that this band is ADJUSTABLE. I am starting to get refilled and I am starting back at square one again.

I like Jodi's advice to review the rules.
