Hi everyone ! I was originally banded in 2007. I lost 50 lbs initially , then had several band issues and had Fluid removed. I've gained back about 30 lbs but luckily didn't return to my pre-op weight. My band has been empty for a couple of years now. I had an UGI/KUB yesterday to check band placement and for any possible issues. Everything looks good , just a wide open band. So yesterday I re-started my journey . I'm having to reteach myself the bandy lifestyle! Please feel free to offer up your most helpful tricks of the trade :)

Seems that many who have gained weight back, have had issues with the band, and not that of teir own doing....such as your story......

If me, I would concentrate on getting my band back in tip top working order....

Hi there and congratulations on this decision to get on track -- great news that your band is fine and now just to work your program, keeping appointments for fills as needed, etc. I am new (almost three months out) and don't really have any advice except that this forum has been so great for me. It helps remind me of what I'm doing and why, and I feel connected to so many others who are also working to turn around their health. Glad you are here! Only other thought is to look forward, not back -- no worrying over what didn't work before, just making it work now. You are choosing yourself first and your healthy future is in your hands -- very exciting times!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
