What a Difference 0.2 CCs Makes!

Hi everyone.

I recently found the forum again after some time away. I've had my band for 12 years and did a good job of maintaining a BMI of about 27 (still overweight but not obese) until this past 6 months.

My total loss was 134 pounds but I have gained back about 30 pounds since January. I've been very stressed out with work, a pending divorce, new relationship and a son who is having issues in school and I basically found myself eating too much and the wrong foods.

I finally got the nerve to get my first fill in about 7 years. I was really nervous. I only ended up getting 0.2 added to my band but my hunger and general interest in food has gone way down! I am so looking forward to getting back to that weight where I felt and looked so much better.

Well just checking in and saying that it's never too late to get back on track.

This is why I love the band! We can always jump back on the bandwagon and restart. I had a similar situation and really ready to give up. But, I gave my doc's office another chance, had an unfill (I was way too tight), and found the motivation to get back on track.
