After pretty much having no fill in my band for the past 3 years (pregnancies) I am finally ready to get this journey going again! I cannot wait to have restriction and that 'feeling' of being in control again. Bring it on!!!!!

I definatly went through what you are going through. I told NOBODY except my husband and parents. The last thing I wanted was people judging me if it didn't work. It did. I managed to lose 20 kilos before falling pregnant. Having all my fill removed during my pregnancies and gaining back nearly all of my weight proves to me that the band is what I need to lose the weight and keep it off. Good luck.

If we didn't have issues with food, none of us would have needed the band. Give your Doctors office a call and speak to one of the staff members. Be honest and tell them that you have stumbled. You will not have been the first and you def won't be the last. Never forget that they are there to help you. You are in a hard place at the moment. The band is not going to work properly until you find the right amount of fill for you. Every time you go to eat something, think of that small pouch they have created for you. That kept me mindful of the rules. Now dust yourself off and move forward. You have a wonderful tool that is going to help you get to your goal

I was banded in January of 2009 after 4 years of trying to conceive. Fell pregnant in May of 2010 with bub number 1 and again Feb of 2011 with bub number 2, my Dr gave no time frame for falling pregnant but required me to have a complete unfill when I did fall. My second is now 11 weeks old and I just had my first fill in over a year. I am still only 10 pound above my per pregnancy weight . Now to get to goal!
