God does work in mysterious ways. I, too, was banded Dec 19 2007 and have lost around 25 pounds. I was committed and motivated to lose the weight. I was unprepared for an old eating disorder addiction in my past that I thought I had put to rest years ago. I have 7.5 ccs in my band and this week I looked to my higher power to help me use this tool the way it is to be used and quit the binging that has brought me to this weight that I want to lose. It is embarrassing and yet I feel a relief to actually be posting on a web with others who are truthful about their struggles and others wanting to help those of us who are the struggling. Thanks to lapbandtalk for sending me a reminder that even though I may not be as successful as I may want to be, but there is still a place where I can be honest and receive support.
