Hello fellow bandsters! I am new here but not a new bandster. I was banded a little over two years ago and I have lost almost 50 pounds (48). I lost all of my weight in the first 8-12 months. Unfortunately, I was overfilled and couldn't get any real food down so I compensated with the easy slider foods and weight loss stopped. A few days ago I found a new doc who is finally listening to me, removed the fluid from my band, and is treating the resulting complications. I feel awesome and can finally eat healthy food again. I'm relieved too because I really thought I was going to have to lose my band. I really want to do it right this time and joining this group is a part of that. All of the stories are so inspiring! I look forward to chatting with all of you here.

Welcome to the forum! Glad you're working on getting back into the banded life.

I'm sure you have a lot to teach us newbies, the good, bad and ugly.lol

See you around!
