I know how you feel! I had my band done in 2006, lost 60 lbs right out of the gate, then I got lazy! Had my saline removed b/c I couldn't eat my Wendy hamburgers I craved! How stupid! Like I paid for mine out of pocket $14,000! Let me tell you that I'm not rich and don't have $14K just hanging around! But, I'm back on track starting from scratch and am doing my post op diet before I try and go back and get a fill. Just hope I haven't stretched my band and it will still work! Wish me luck! And good luck to you also!
