I don't have a long one at this point except to say that this is the best decision I have ever made.  I have been asked by several people (especially when I say "I can't eat that" or something), "Do you regret having the surgery?"  My answer is always no.  I am still on my way to my goal but I know that this weight loss is for a lifetime not just for a while.
The above is what I first wrote.  I haven't changed my mind.  I have had some complications due to severe reflux.  My band was emptied last fall just a week or two after reaching my goal.  After 4 months with no band, I had gained 40+ lbs.  I had a refill and haven't gained but have only lost about 10 lbs back.  I am once again having severe trouble with reflux or something.  I wish I could figure this out because I don't want another unfill but I can't lie down at night so something has to change.
