I'm a newbie/3 year banded out of Dallas Texas 25 years old. In the beginning the lap band was good for about 4 months losing only 25 lbs. college student very stressed I started to eat the wrong things and found loop holes to not being restricted eating on the run. I became content again with my weight and on a student salary unable to get fills as a cash pay bander. So now I have gained back all my weight +5 and I'm ready to get serious and lose some weight, and today is day one. For the last year I have had issues with vomiting and stomach pain so will plan on getting it checked out before another fill, but introducing myself And hope I can get inspired and stop blaiming the band for not losing weight and blame myself

First of all congratulations!! But, you don't need to blame yourself, just take responsibility for your actions that's more than enough..

Feeling guilty won't take you too far..

Good luck!
