I am new to this forum, but was banded in Mexico in 2006 by Dr. Kuri. I lost a LOT of weight in the first 2 years, now have regained 1/3 back following a different health crisis and being over filled for too long.... Now I am finally where I want to be fill wise again (I think) and hoping it will start working for me again and maybe find people in Seattle area to network with.

I think you will like this site. There is alot of great information and support. I am sorry to hear about the regain, however, congrats on the major success. Just look at it as a bump in the road or a minor detour. You will get back on track, you just have to reset your habits and mind as well as getting the band to work for you again (which is sounds like you have).

Nice to hear from you.

Sairy30 - I'm not in Seattle, in fact, I am in Florida. But congratulations on your return to band-life and glad to hear everything seems to be right with you and your band. This is an excellent site and although we are spread throughout the country, there is always someone here to talk with. Good luck and please stay in touch.
