Hello,
I'm not sure if any of you remember me or not. My name is Doriana. I was banded in November 2006. I was doing really well till last June. Then my best friend passed away and my anxiety came back hard and strong. Since then, I'm not on medication to control my anxiety. (Effexor) I was down about 30 pounds as of June/ 07. I then started the meds and have been gaining back some weight. When I got the band in I weighed 227 pounds got down to about 184 and today I'm back at 211 pounds.... I'm so depressed about this. The last fill I had was last Sept...but very little. I'm going back on Tuesday for more restriction. My husband also got the band done and he's doing well. You know men lose faster, right? Well, he does not have the anixety and depression issue either. I was scared that maybe my band slipped, but if it did I guess I would be having more problems. I have no restriction infact my appitite is great. I thought it may be the medication, but I'm not going to lie to myself, I have been eating out of control. I think the meds are giving me more of an appetitie. Should I get 1 cc at my next fill? Still, 1 and 1/2 years later, I still really don't know what my "sweet" spot is. I think I may have to get back to basics again. I was even poundering with the idea of going to Bernstein, but I know that the diet is not very healthy. I feel like a complete failure. I've invested so much money. Why can't I do this? I had joined Weight watchers on line, but fell off the wagon after a week. Should I sit down with someone at TLBC and talk to them about this?
Some support please.... I'm so lost..
Thanks for listening..
Have a great night.
Doriana
