Thanks for sharing Julie! Even with gaining back a lot of my weight I still have NO regrets about my band. I know that I can be successful again once I start using the it as a tool again. I did have a time where I felt like I was loosing weight but really unhealthy because I could hardly ever eat any fruits or veggies (my band was really tight). I used to think that the tighter the better because I did not want to eat at all. Lessons learned and I am hopeful to start loosing again this time and doing it a much healthier way.

Way to GO! Congrats. That is an acomplishment. I remember going in for a band fill and my surgon telling me those sweet words once. Keep up the amazing work!

Even through the trouble I have had keeping the weight off the last two years I have absolutely NO regrets. My band helped me to loose 80 lbs initially and is the reason I was able to get pregnant and have a healthy son. I have no doubt that now that I am at the right place to continue my weight loss journey that my band will be the tool to help me get there.

My collegue's at work have been doing 9round for months now and LOVE it. They are having great results. I am going for my first workout tomorrow afternoon. I am hoping that since it is so different from a traditional gym and with the trainers being right with you that it will keep me motivated so that I do not just go to the gym and walk around like a lost puppy.

Hi! Cheers to getting back on track! I too am taking medication for depresion/anxiety and it has not been my only reason for unsuccess, but I too am getting back on the bandwagon. I am excited to put myself and my health back in the forefront of my mind. I just started with MFP, and I will be working out at least 3 times per week. I have a four miler I signed up for months ago on Saturday! Good luck! Let me know if you would like to cheer each other on.

Hi! I was banded in 2010 as well. My story is very similar to yours. I lost about 80 pounds and then I got pregnant with my son, since him I just have not been doing what I am supposed to do and am now as big as I was when I was pregnant with him. I am getting back on track! I did it before I know I can do it again. Best Wishes and Good luck!
