Ready to re-start the process

So, after about six months of little or no progress, a flipped port, a port revision, and my first fill post-op, I am finally regaining some hope that I had lost! When I first had my Lap Band put in, I did very well and then it stalled and I haven't lost anything in months. I'm not going to lie, I wasn't following a strict diet and part of that was due to depression about the band not working, so I do admit my part in this. However, I got my fill today and am back on track! The doc even said that he would give me another 6 months of free fills since I am self pay since he said that it was his fault that I couldn't get the fills. I am very excited to get back on track and bring my blood pressure and sugar levels back down again!

Considering all you've been through, you are down 35 pounds and that's A LOT to be proud of!! Stay positive and keep up the good work!!!

Thank you! I'm drinking my liquids and hoping that I have some good restriction!

I remember reading all your posts and then they stopped. I am glad you are back posting again and have a renewed sense of purpose. I am especially happy that your provider is giving you 6 months of fills. That is awesome. Congratulations on losing what weight you have, that is great considering all of your complications. I am looking forward to your posting regularly again.

Yeah, I pretty much gave up for a while and didn't want to be on here seeing how great other people were doing, although it might have kicked my butt into gear! I am happy that my attitude has changed and I am back on and ready to go!!
