How are u Aug 2009 bandsters doing today almost 3yrs out?

I've been Having a hard time with my band! Can't seem to find the "green zone" for me! So frustrating. I go from not being able to eat and throwing everything up because the band is too tight. When I go and have a tiny bit if fluid taken out im I'm able to eat enough for two! Never full! It will be 3yrs in August for me. I lost 60 and have gained back 24. Right now I keep losing and gaining the same 10lbs. Considered a revision. What steps did u have to go through to have the bypass?

I went for my fill on 1/4. I was not very happy to see that I weighed the same I did 6 weeks prior when I went for my last fill. Within that 6 weeks I lost and gained 6lbs. I see how easy it is to fall back into your old habits which I did and used the "holidays" as an excuse. I was not at the gym one time in the month of December either. Boy was this a reality check for me!!!! I am not really sure that I am happy with what the Dr said this time....."let's not concentrate on being full but on not being hungry" This is why I had the procedure done is to have that "Full" feeling. She didn't think I needed a fill but gave me .5cc. She seems to think at this point with me it is mental and only gave me the fill because my mind needed it. She is the Dr and knows best. I am taking her advice and in 6 days I have lost 7lbs. This is what I needed to get me back on track. The only thing is that I just started to eat solid foods today. Don't know if I will have that "Full" feeling or not. We will see what this week will bring. Yesterday I met with a personal trainer and he wrote up a routine for me to follow. I set a mini goal for myself to be down to 220lbs Valentine's Day. 12lbs to go! I forgot my PIN for my ticker and have only done it one time. I wen to tickerfactory.com and created a new ticker I just don't know how to add it to my signature. Does anyone know how to do this??

I am down 42lbs (was 46lbs in Nov). I have gained 4lbs over this holiday I can't wait to go for my fill on 1/4. I still don't get the "Full" feeling yet but sometimes I get my food stuck if I don't chew enough or eat faster than normal. I usually end up throwing up when this happens. After I throw up it is usually easier for the food to go down. I can tolerate certain foods at certain times. Im not sure why this is happening??????? Im afraid when I go and get my fill this time that more things will be getting stuck and I still won't be getting that "full" feeling. Has anyone experienced anything like this????

I was banded on 8/13. I have lost 38lbs on my journey. Had my first fill on 9/30. I really don't have the "full" feeling yet either. I feel like I am eating more than I should be. Well all the readings say you should be eating like 1/2 cup. I for sure am eating more than that. I am happy with my weight loss at this point but I am starting to get discouraged! I go for my next fill on 11/11. I am hoping for some restriction then. Has anyone else been dealing with this???
