I was banded on June 22, 2009. Have been fighting the weight issue for most of my life. Tried about every kinda of diet out there, some with success, some without. Always ended up gaining all the weight back and usually more. You know the same old song and dance. Did really good at first lost 40 pounds in first 3 months but as the fills started eating became more harder to get my protein in, Have issues with meat of any kind. Hair started falling out. Now not only am I fat but going bald too
