I was banded December 2007 and lost nothing that has truly made a huge dent in my weight problem. I have finally finished school last month. I have been fighting to get through school taking 18 credits as well as working full time. I was so tired when I would finally get home that I would really eat what ever just to go to bed and have a good nights rest.

I feel that getting banded was a great thing but i wonder if I did it at the right time. I originally weighed 380lbs and now recently went to the doctor and saw that I gained back weight and now stand at 368lbs. I'm getting married Sept 1, 2011 and would love to get myself together so I can feel 100% beautiful that day. I told myself that I will not go to the plus size section to look for my gown.

I'm feeling like this surgery has been a failure because I really do not feel any restriction.I have had about four fills and that is a long story. Any comments on how to get back on the band wagon is appreciated. Thanks in advance.:thumbup:

TeTe, I think you should take the first step. Call and get a fill and start at phase one. Take it one day at a time. You can do it. You have the ultimate motivation: your wedding! This forum is also a place to get any and all advice. Even baby steps will get you to the end of the road.
