You are inspirational!

Are there any support groups around the Bay Area? I have yet to meet anyone else with a Band around here.

I went to a seminar in San Jose. Good Sam Hospital has opened a bariatric center. It was fun to talk to prospective banders.

Whoa--I was googling myself and saw this post. I mean...someone had to, right?

Sorry I went awol---things have been busy. I'm doing great though. Had some complications with reflux that resulted in having an empty band for close to 2 years. Finally settled with *some* restriction and had to find a balance between recognizing the restriction I did have and trying to make better food choices.

The bad news is that I ended up gaining back like 40+ pounds. I've taken off 20 since then but verrrrry slowly. I seem to hover around 190-195. My favorite place to be was 175ish but you know what, I can't complain. I was 310 pounds once and I never forget the difference in my life, even when I backstepped.

I have a blog on the site that spotlight moved to--fatblog.org

Thanks for asking and I'm sorry for my neglect of this list!

7 years out and still happy with my band .
