Hi I was a March bander. But really had a hard time losing the weight and really really hard time. I believe I am just starting the shed the pounds off. I started at 223 when I first go the band, and got down to 195 I couldn't go any lower. So tried a few different methods trainer, gym membership. But couldn't grasp on the new diet and exercise plan until this year when I found a great personal trainer who works with me and gives me great fat burning pills and a detailed food day by day of what I should be eating. I have fell off of it a couple of times but is now making a great progress in April 2009 I weighed in at 215 and now August 2009 I weigh in at 200 pds. Now I am at a point where I can't get pass this 199 -200 mark. But I have noticed I cheat alot more often more of an emotional eater or from being bored so now I am trying to keep myself busy. Not sitting at my desk all day. I am 24 work at a home based business with my family so i live and work in the same place so that had advantages and a whole bunch of disadvantages. So now when i get bored im going to either go was a walk, call a family member or a friend, and start back crocheting.

Hi there,

I was banded in March 2006 by Dr. Sanchez (R.I.P.). Pre opp weight 238. Lowest post opp, 147. I'm currently up to 200 pounds again . My band is tight, but I have a few behaviors to make adjustments to and to get back on track. Good to see that there is a group to speak to.
