Hello, I stumbled upon this site while searching for an on-line support system for those who have been banded. I am 3 years post op and have lost an amazing 80+ pounds to date. My problems have been quite minimal and no real traumatic issues to speak of. Having said that, I have discovered that I have fallen off the band wagon and need more help than I have been willing to accept! It is difficult to come to the realization that I am my own worst enemy when it comes to the never ending battle of the bulge. And doing things my way has stopped working for me. I have a wonderful husband, who is supportive, but because he loves me unconditionally, it has never mattered to him how much I weigh or what size of clothing I wear. Therefore, he isn't pushing me either for or against losing more weight. I am 5'7" tall and currently weigh 257.5. i have come so far and am afraid of back sliding!! So, long story short, here I am.
