Hi! my name is Ash and I had my surgery in Richmond, VA in January 2008. I started out doing very well, I lost about 35 pounds. I got filled once, then I moved an hour away and never got filled again (totally negligent on my part!) and now I weigh 20 pounds more than I did when I had the surgery. I feel like a failure, and I know that it is definitely possible for me to get back on track. I have an appointment with my surgeon on 9/20, and I'm know that I can get back on the wagon and get where I need to be! I need some encouragement!!!!!
