New here, getting back on track...

[Ash C. 0]

Hi! my name is Ash and I had my surgery in Richmond, VA in January 2008. I started out doing very well, I lost about 35 pounds. I got filled once, then I moved an hour away and never got filled again (totally negligent on my part!) and now I weigh 20 pounds more than I did when I had the surgery. I feel like a failure, and I know that it is definitely possible for me to get back on track. I have an appointment with my surgeon on 9/20, and I'm know that I can get back on the wagon and get where I need to be! I need some encouragement!!!!!

Hello,

I noticed that you and I had the same surgeon-Dr. Brengman. Where do you live now? I live in Emporia, so it is an hour and a half drive for me to go to appointments too , but I have decided that I am gonna make this be a successful venture for me. You didnt go through this for nothing. Get back in there and get back on track. If you need a buddy to keep you on track, just let me know. I hope that I will continue on with doing as well as I am right now. I have been a yo yo dieter. I have lost many pounds in the past only to gain it back. Thats why i chose lap band. I know I can lose it- I just need this tool to yank me back if I start to stray. Make your mind up to get that fill as you need it and the rest should take care of itself.
