well its been ages since i was in here, simply because i feel like a total failure, the band is not doing what i thought it was going to do - no one told me it was going to be such hard work - i havent been back to my surgeon in months as i dont think there is anything he can offer me anymore except more fills and i dont see the point of that - the band is as tight as it can go without me stopping eating completely, - blah i hate, i know i have to tkae a much more active role in it all - i suppose i thought it was going to be that miracle thing and then i would be thin!!!
