This is my second lap band. The first one worked great and I got down to 130 and stayed there for several years. Then I got it taken out and gained all the weight back. May 15, 2014 at 186.5 and went back into surgery and have the lap band again. Since then by sheer will I have lost 20 pounds!! 20 pounds is a lot of weight and I am so proud because I am not in the green zone and I get hungry a lot. My worst problem that made me gain all the weight was late night eating. I would take my Ambien and be in a altered state and get up and eat and eat and eat. Now I don't eat past 7 and sometimes I don't eat past 5pm. It is hard but I am doing it and the weight is coming off. I am much more active but not exercising every day. I can;t wait to feel the green zone because I am having to ignore a lot of hunger lately. I can cross my legs now without them going numb. I am wearing a size 12 comfortably and even though I have cellulite all over my legs I am wearing shorts because it is so hot here in Ausitn. I go in for another fill on the 17th and am going to ask for just 1 or 2cc cause I want to ease into this green zone with patience and perseverance. Love to hear from you all and your recent experiences.

That's awesome! Hope it goes well!
