Hey fellow bandsters. I got my band in June 2008 and need your support and encouragement. I am in the process of starting over and have an appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday to get a fill and see whats going on. I havent been to get a fill since October 2008 and was very discouraged from a discrepancy between me and my surgeon as to whether the band was filled enough. Every since I have been able to eat anything without many problems, and of course have not lost any weight. I am motivated and have started a workout plan, and will be going back to the things i used to eat post band when i get my fill on Wed.

I will gladly accept any suggestions or thoughts on what worked and didnt work for you all. I read that the best results are within a year of surgery and im clearly past that. Is there anything else I can do??

Thanks everyone! I look forward to your replies

You have a band- you can always learn how to work the tool and have success. You are making the right moves now and should have a plan for your eating, and a backup plan so you can get back on track. I would be glad to offer any help that I can to you. You may find my story of how I got back on track after the holidays helpful to start. You can find it at Maintaining: December 26, 2009 or Making It Through My 6th year of Holidays After Lap Band® Surgery

Let me know how I can help.
