Hope some August 2008 banders give an update on how things have been going for them. I lost about 23 lbs before surgery and about 11 lbs after surgery. At one point after surgery I lost about 25 lbs but gained some back. My weight loss has not been as great as I hoped but I have not been putting a hundred percent into being careful with what I eat and exercise. I do not regret getting the band and I feel much more in control of my weight then before the band (gaining weight out of control). Without the band I know I would weigh a lot more. I have noticed that my relationship with food mirrors my personal relationships....when they go bad my eating gets bad. At one point in a new relationship I lost the most weight...but when it started to not be healthy I started gaining weight, I then got a fill and my adorable dr. Said he didn't think it was the band he thought something else was going on . I didn't see it at the time...and made him give me a 1/2 c fill. For 2 years I suffered with heart burn from the fill and heart ache from a bad relationship. Well the 3 months ago my fiancé and I decided this was not going to work and he said he was moving out. I began losing weight but still had horrible heartburn so I decided to 1/2 cc's removed. I know I won't gain weight because my head is in a better place and I am more in control of my life path. Sending all my bander friends lots of love! Annabell <3

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
