Hi, my name is Donna W. I was banded on February 13, 2007. I lost 30 lbs prior to surgery and another 30 after surgery. So, I lost a total of 60 lbs. I still needed to lose 40 more, but developed bulimea about 4 months after surgery. I am now in an eating disorder group and have stopped throwing up, but have put back on 30 lbs. I am very frustrated and mad at myself. Any body else out there struggling with the same thing or anyone who has over come it?

Hi Donna and welcome to LBT. I am so sorry that you have encountered the problems you have, but am pleased to hear you are getting the help you need. It is important for you to have as much support right now as possible. I have not had the same issues as you, but I wanted to bump this post in case there is somebody else out there who has.

My thoughts are with you and I am confident you can overcome and achieve your goals. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.
