Wow Denise- you are me. I was banded in August 2009. My highest weight was 405 and got down to 271. I've had three fills then unfills in the past year and have gained back 50 pounds. I switched doctors and got a new fill Thursday. Since I am not used to being banded, I have thrown up almost everything (more my fault then the band) and just threw up brown stomach acid (hope that's what it is). I know WE can DO IT. It's harder than many people think. Laurie Wishing you well.

Happy Sunday Everyone! My name is Laurie; I am a teacher from Michigan and am being banded on August 3 at Hurley Bariatric Center in Flint, Michigan. I have passed all the hurtles but one- pre op testing on July 15th. I started my liquid diet today- 4 weeks pre, 2 weeks post. I am looking forward to gaining a lot of knowledge and losing a lot of the weight! Laurie in MI:rolleyes2:
