Thx, using this forum more should help as well, people here are very nice,honest and understanding...

First banded in 2008 and lost 100lbs. After 4 years I got lazy and started cheating, result=sick. I would force myself to get sick because of overeating,result= band slip. Small slip at first so Dr removed saline to 0 fill to heal but I felt free to eat more and I did. I should have done the pre surgery diet but I didn't. I kept eating getting sick over and over until the pain came. I had slipped so bad my stomach was like an hour glass. The band was removed 2/13. Gained all 100lbs back. Now going in again 1/14/14 for second band. I hope and pray I don't become lazy over time again and repeat this mistake. I must go to Dr appointments, must say on task. I am afraid that I will fall back on bad habits, That's my worst fear. The surgery and pain is nothing compared to fear of failure again. Anyone else been thru this....? Thx

Hi, 2nd timer here, 8/08 first band 2/13 removed 1/14/14 new band. Kind of nervous about 2nd failure. I wouldn't have changed anything, my band failure was my fault.

I'm @ 8.25cc, finally restricted. Hard time telling difference of full and slightly stuck. I eat small amounts and have a new feeling like it's not going thru. Is this what it feels like to have your new stomach up higher in your lower chest ? If so? Great, because I eat very little at a time now. Before I could eat slowly and alot, now I can't, is this the sweet spot?

Not very much bread for me. I'm at 8.25cc finnally having restriction. Question, having hard time knowing difference between full feeling and/or stuck?
