Ok i havent been on in awhile had alot going on ! First off my band slipped that ive had since dec. 29th 2010 and this is why i think it slipped this is just my thinking but i learned something from ! Let me just say im not a Dr so i dont know 100% if its from this but pretty sure ive lost alot of weight but i fell off the wagon and would either eat to fast and get sick or eat just a little to much or drink to fast and my band ended up slipping Thank God they didnt have to remove it they just let all the Fluid out for about a month ! Let me tell you what ive learned #1 ive come to far to just screw it up like this ive jumped back on the wagon and im getting my fills again i did however put about 3 lbs back on thats ok to me because it pushed me even harder because i dont want to be the person that i was before ive lost a 1 lb off of the 3 ive gained so i know thats a start i will not get down about it i picked myself back up and i learned from it im so thankful i didnt have to have it removed cause i love being banded ! so here i go again i have 40lbs left then i will have plastic surgery to have the excess skin removed so im really looking forward to it ! i had a fill today and im finally starting to get restriction back ! We will all have our up's and down's but if we can learn from them and pick ourselves up we can go far !

mandyluvmylapband-What a great attitude!! We ALL make mistakes but its what we do in the aftermath that makes us a sucess or a failure. You aren't a failure, until you give up. Some might have choose to blame the band and have it removed....Its sometimes hard (at least it is for me) to admit to ourselves that we have messed up....and have no one to blame but ourselves.

It sounds like you are back on track, motivated and ready to get down to business and loose that last 45 pounds. Thank you for sharing.....it helps us newbies realize if we get complacent and stop following the rules, we too may face the consquences.

Please stay pluged into the site so we can help support you, and you can help guide others that have gotten sidetracked BEFORE they end up with a slip.

You're so positive, it's great! A slip worries me because at times I tend to PB a lot, so I get worried....but your attitude is contagious I think! Thanks!
