My lapband story....I was banded almost 2 years ago. I've lost 102 pounds but have had a small set back where I was not restricted. I've been yo-yoing or stalling for about a year but my weight has gradually gone down. I have to be very careful to chew small bites slowly. It's hard being a teacher with not much time for lunch so protein shakes work best. I'm happy with my progress overall and am glad I had the surgery. The next step for me is to work on the emotional and spiritual progress.
