I know exactly how you feel - I was banded in 2007 - lost 100 lbs. - felt great - had to be opened because of bad acid reflux in December 2010 - needless to say, I've been enjoying all the bread and pasta that was previously forbidden and 40 lbs later, I'm regretting it, so today I get a fill - and really, really reading the boards for inspiration - I know I can do this - did it before - just taking it one day at a time - we can do this - we did before!!!
