Hi everyone.

I'm new to this forum though not new to banding. I was banded in January 2012. Since that time, I've lost 70 lbs. I have another 50 or so lbs that I'd like to lose.

I live in Canada and was banded in Canada. I was a regular on another WLS community but I found the site too restrictive - we weren't able to vent or express our frustrations. The company would block the postings. I believe it is when you are frustrated that you need the most support from others.

My weight loss has stalled/slowed over the last few months. I feel like I'm back on track again but you know how easy it is to fall off the wagon. It's time to get this weight off now, once and for always.

Anyway, that's a little about me. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
