I was banded on 28 June 2007, I weighed 237lbs I weigh 173lbs today. I was down to 147lbs before Christmas but lost control over the season. I am trying to lose now but am having trouble. I am waiting for BC/BS approval to get filled again. I have only been filled 3 times and have 2cc in the band but was told today that BC/BS must approval before I get filled again.
