My name is Kari and I was banded November 3, 2006. It depresses me to realize it has been two years already. I had some major infection complications after surgery and my recovery was slowed by about 3 months. I have lost around 30 pounds. I have been stuck in a rutt emotionally, financially, etc. I have switched jobs since my surgery and my current employer does not cover any type of weight loss programs or surgeries. Therefore, no previous surgeries either. I am frustrated beyond belief, but I think it is just time to seek counseling. I am one of those cases that thought I had the mind set for the long haul and turns out I wasn't there. I am very glad I went through with everything, I just wish things would have worked out differently. I am still young enough that I have plenty of time to turn things around. I just need to own up and quit blaming my life in general. Good luck to everyone, I hope your story goes better than mine thus far! :rolleyes2:
