I was banded in Bismarck, Nd by Dr Michael Schmit. Start weight was 281, I lost 32 lbs before the surgery as that is what my Dr asked of me. Had my surgery on Oct.20th 2005, and lost down to 170 and maintained it till Nov. 2010, had alot of changes in my life including career, moved to new city, and met a wonderful man... and totally forgot about my band. I had one fill from another dr in Mt in March 2008 and it was a nightmare..poked me several times to finally get me adjusted.. well I said never again to that.. but too far to make it to ND, so I thought I could do it on my own. I have since had little to no restriction other than if I don't chew right it all gets stuck.. so hey ,... chew chew chew and eat what you want.. well I gained back up to 206. I have once again moved and am now closer to ND so I have gotten all my info ready and am going to go see my original Dr (hopefully) if not him at least his nurse who I know is still there.. and get my butt back on track. I started using this forum in when I first got banded and it helped so much so I am back and hopefully can help others and get the support I need too.
