Hi all, I live in Delco. I've been banded since 2004, but I'm having rare and weird (and frustrating) malfunctions with my band. First the port leaked. Got it fixed. Then my tube had a crack in it. Got it replaced. Now my entire tubing came undone during my pregnancy and my doc is replacing my old model band with a new one on Feb 4.
I'm looking for a buddy. I've been there, done that, lost 100 lbs, loved my life, and worked hard to maintain an 80 lb loss while my band was unstable. With this last break, I gained weight (with pregnancy) and am ready to start over again. At least I am not starting from the beginning - Instead of 130 lbs to lose I have 70-80, so that's something.
