I Was banded in July 2009. Since then I lost weight, had a baby and gained all my weight back. Surgery weight was 240 in 2009, now I weigh 235 Pounds. I am finally DONE yo-yo dieting, I am miserable. tired. hurting. DONE. I am done feeling this way, join with me I cant do it alone. Been there failed that. I need accountability, if you do too, join me.

Chris Powell from Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition has a great book. Chose to Lose, which I have read before now he has a new book, Chose More, Lose More. It is carb cycling. I know me, I need chocolate, I will fail without being able to have treats, it just how I am. You get to have a reward or treat every other day. This is the plan for me. Whatever plan you do, join me, share advise, lend an ear, let's make a team to finally beat this! We can do it!

I'm down !!!

Banded 10/12/16

I had the band in 2007 it worked for about 3 months I lost 32 of the 70 before surgery. On 12/21 I had to have it removed and chose the sleeve because I had reflux and 2 hernia repairs. My experience makes me think that if you want the band to be successful you need a support group weekly and a dietitian so that your tool will work, I did neither! My HW was 343 1stSW 311 2nd SW 268.8
