Hi.....I am new to this forum.

I had lap band on June 1, 2005. I have gained back all of my weight. I am going to a NEW doctor tomorrow to have fluid put back in my band and to get a new start. I had all of my fluid removed back in October due to problems with "Esophagitis". Has anyone had this problem. I went to the doctor for a follow up and had gained a few pounds. He chewed me out and he didn't want to put any fluid in my band. He finally put a "little" bit in. Not enough that I could tell. I never went back to him. It is now the middle of June and I have gained all of my weight back. I started Aqua Aerobics today too. This is a new beginning for me! I am looking for encouragment and a place to "relate" to others! I hope I have found the right website!!!

Good luck to all of you!

WOW - good luck and good for you for finding another doctor. I totally shut down if someone chews me out. Sorry I can't give you any advice...gettiong banded in a month or so

Good luck! I love that the band is always there, waiting for us if we mess up!
