I was banded in 3/08, I thought this would surgery was the answer and save me from myself. Well it hasn't (of course.) I last a total of 21 lbs., and have gained back 11! I am so unhappy! I am depressed and feel like another thing, of the millions I have tried hasn't worked. I know its my own fault, I eat around the band, and I eat way too much. I have had 5 fills and I can still eat bread. My Dr. tells me I do not have a leak, but I don't feel like I think I should, or is this how it feels? In any case I would love to find someone who can support me as I support them, who has been there and can commiserate, or kick me in the butt when I need it. And I will do the same. I prefer a female. Thank you, and hope to talk to you soon!http://www.lapbandtalk.com/images/smilies/modern/crying.gif
