Hi All!

How are you doing 7 years out?

Good idea! I just saw the new forum and posted in it.

Holly Dolly, I'm not doing great. I only lost 5 lbs in 7 years. Yup..you read that right...lol

I'm scheduled for a new band on March 1st and I'm struggling with the decision to have it done.

Did you gain back your weight or were there complications that prevented you from losing? I'm assuming it must have worked at least a little or you wouldn't be considering replacing it?

Hey firefaerie,

I never lost weight with the band. We are not sure if it's due to a defective band or my anatomy. The thought about replacing it came from my doc and that perhaps it would work this time. I'm skeptical and leaning to not going under.
