I had the band put in 97 lost 60 pounds.:-) Had the band taken out because it made me sick and I could not lose weight and was going to go straight to by pass.....ooppps Woke up on 12/12/12 and heard there was to much damage you have to weight 6 mos. Well the weight I lost has crap on yeah:-) not ! In a week I get for the 3rd time in my life hoping for success I start the pre opt diet.:-) For the most part I`ve greatful because I have learned that my struggle is way beyond me to go through this and still not be successful on my own shows me that I was not lazy in making this decsions.
