I feel you here. I am in the same boat. I got banded in Oct. 2008. I once weight 270 and had gotten down to 190 but between medical issues and bad habits creeping back up I'm back to 225. It's definitely frustrating. The only thing to do is move forward and get back on track. I'm in the process of getting back on track myself. It hasn't been easy but I'm pushing forward anyway.
