My Year Two Bandiversary!

[vluckey 1]

Everyone considering getting a band should read this post. I am 18 months out, lost 60lbs, had a baby and getting ready to have a surgery for my band this Friday due to complications. I will have to start the program all over again, liquids, mushy's, etc. I'm almost happy about that. I had every intention of not getting a fill after I had my baby and doing a diet. My body had other plans.

Just like I posted the night before my surgery, this is not a cake walk. But I had the option of taking this thing out, and decided it's still worth it.

Good luck to all of us!

Thank you for a well-articulated post regarding your experience with the band over the past two years! Congratulations are definitely in order!

I'm a month away from my two year bandiversary, and your experiences are very close to mine. I Celebrate my band, and I have learned many lessons from having it. But, the last 20 pounds are just sitting there, ready for me to tackle them, and I'm complacent. I've learned how sneaky the food dragons are, too...yep, they are still there, although I do have a great weapon to use against them, and it does work, when I am eating right!

Good luck on Year 3, and I hope you keep learning! (me, too!)

Hugs to you,

Cindy
