It's been year since I got my band. Most of the time I forget it's there. I have been doing fine with it and have about 6.5 cc. I think I can have another fill. Although I am not real faithful to get fills just when I think I need one. I think I started out with 4 cc a year ago. Now my weight has just stood still. I have lost motivation and probably too embarrassed to tell my Dr the truth. I have not been true to my band, in fact I have eaten large portions and suffered later. So now to fill or not to fill, that is the question. Just some thoughts...

The last thing you need to do is be ashamed to visit your surgeon. You must see him to get back on track and if you don't you'll probably never forgive yourself

Put those medical professionals to work -- they are there for you. Don't worry about embarrassment, etc., just worry about your health goals and what you are trying to achieve.

​Congratulations on your one year. Tomorrow morning call your doctor. You are not the first or last person to go bad. Dust yourself off and tomorrow is a new day and a new you!

Good luck.

Call that surgeon and schedule a fill. You should never be ashamed of anything. You have already made it this far dont give up!

okay, you all talked me into it! I have called and made an appointment with my Doc. Who by the way is out of the bariatric business but is still willing to see me. Thanks my friends

I'm so proud of you
