Ok my name is Lisa, I have had my band since 12/31/2003. I lost 101 bls. Then got bad sick and couldn't keep anything down, so they loosened me up, well I gained back 40bls. I then went back and had it tightened after I got my body healthy again. Well, I haven't lost anything since the tightening. Ok, thing that gets me is that some days I can eat anything that isn't in someone elses mouth already. Other days like yesterday, I threw up. What is up with that?? Some days I can eat and some I can't. What would anyone advise me to do? I hate being this size again. Just the 40 bls has really knocked me back to that insecure person I has at 300 bls. I am just holding at 220 right now. I hate it. I feel bad and I just HATE IT!!!!!!!
