Hi Ilene!! I've been banded for two years and a half, sise may 10th 2011. I've lost more than 100lbs ( 50 kg), but gained 10 lbs back. I'm 61 and I thik that my banding is a success. I'd like to lose those 10 lbs, but hardly anyone can remain at the lowest point of their weght loss. So, I congratulate myself on what I've done and go on..also because self-complaining drives me to the fridge. You were very good at losing weight and will be able to lose what you've gained back. Have you ever thought of going swimming? Or is it painful? Another thing WE'RE YOUNG

You are all so kind!! I feel at home here.

Congrats on your new friend. My band has been my best friend for 2 years and a half.I had my first filling a year after surgery, a year during which I lost 50 kg (more than 100lbs,I think). I was determined to make it work and that helped me a lot.

You are not defeated.I'm not good at giving advice about medical questions, but I'm sure you can have a fresh start and lose weight. You have lost a battle, but ours is a long war , which we will win!!! I'm Italian..forgive my English
