Hello, I was banded 9/06. I have lost 67 lbs and things have came to a stand still. I have had many fills and I am also in need of one again (waiting for insurance to reinstate...long story). But meanwhile...I just feel like I need to try and jumpstart the band again and its usefullness. I will be honest..I have "fell off the wagon" meaning I have been kinda eating around the band and etc. Has anyone went thru this and if so what did you do to jumpstart yourself again. So I guess what I am needing is some ideas, advice, help to start over again. I know first thing I need is a fill...but it may be a month yet before insurance kicks back in. I have spoken with 3 others in my area that have the band and they have had similar stories to mine and they have talked to dr and dr has lined them up for a Lapband into Bypass revision. I do NOT want the bypass! This band works when I make it work and I want to be the last one that has to line up for a bypass. Thanks for listening....

I was banded a year ago and have hardly lost any weight. I am fully banded. My dr. is talking about the bypass for me.

Don't give up! You have come too far to give up now! We all go through the "hunger" stage. I'm routin for ya!!!!
