Hey everyone.
Well I've been banded for a little over a year and I guess the discouragement is starting to hit me. I thought in a year I would lose over 100 lbs just like a lot of the stories I read on this site, but...I haven't. I realized from my surgeon and doctor that the weight comes off slowly but I guess after I hit a plateau that I couldn't conquer for months and months, it's hard to keep going on the right track. I have realized recently that I am having major acid reflux and heartburn that is most likely signaling that my band is too tight. I am very nervous about having fluid taken out just because of the fact that I haven't lost any weight in a while. I don't want the fluid being taken out to end up making me gain back any weight that I have lost. I guess I'm just looking for some encouragement to know that not everyone loses 100 lbs the first year...or is it just me? I have started back on my healthy diet and exercising regiment again so hopefully that will kick start everything for me. I wish you all the best of luck and thanks for reading this!
