Hi Everybody. Hard to imagine I was banded so long ago! I still love my band. I am stuck at my current weight, but I know the band is there waiting for me to get my act together again so I can lose some more. And the fact that I've fallen into some of my old habits and am not gaining is a good thing. Congrats on the elliptical! Those machines work for me when I force myself to get on them, and when I have my music with me. It's only 5 minutes to the gym, but somehow it often seems like toooo long a drive to go!

Hi everyone! It has been a long time! I had some lapband issues after getting the flu and some difficult months, but with a lot of work I am back on track. Looks like you all are doing well. Once I figure out how to do it, I will post some before and after pics.

Hi

Ive decided to get back on track having got nowwhere fast for so long even manaaged to gain some back

Due for a fill 26th Feb

was banded 28th Nov 2006 I thought id be there but had a tough year and what can I say its easy to drink wine eat chocolate and blame the band - I know its just me so I started this journey at 17stone 10lbs and I now am restarting at 15 stone - but this time I will succeed I just need some help.................

Hello all! Good to hear from everyone again! I guess I am doing well. I lost 50 lbs but none in about 6 months! It's all me, I know. The band is tight enough I just went back to eating when I am not hungry and snacking on cookies! Wine is another problem I guess. I am back on track now again! I want to lose another 50! I do have a question...I have been experiencing some mild heart burn again. I had a hernia fixed when they did the surgery and that was the end of my heart burn. All of a sudden it's happening again.... What can this mean?

Are you eating too quickly or too much at one time? That is usually when it happens to me and I use it as my Q to start behaving myself. Could be something else entirely though. I would definately talk to your doc about it because heart burn is nothing to mess around with.

:frown: NOVEMBER BANDSTERS ROCK!!!

I was banded in November, November 20th to be exact...since then I have lost 100 lbs and my life has totally evolved...I just found out that my bariatric clinic is closing down in Dekalb, IL (where I live) and I am devastated...the main reason why they have to close down the program is b/c no one can get insurance to coverage the surgery....it is just sooo sad:frown:
