New To Site

[Nancy G 0]

Hi! I'm new to the site, but not the band. I was banded on 9/1/05 and was down 74 lbs at my lowest point. At the beginning of this year, I thought I could "take a break" and stopped going to the doctor. Although I didn't go back to fried foods or completely "off the wagon", I did stop paying attention. The result was an increase of 17 lbs. I've taken 11 lbs off since July, but need to get serious. I thought I would give this site a try as additional support. I have several close friends who have been banded, ironically because I got mine. But I think new discussions may help, so thanks in advance.:cursing:

Hi Nancy, and welcome. Believe me, I have been where you are and completely understand. The great thing about the band is, once we are ready to get back on track again, it is there waiting for us and ready to help.

We are glad to have you here and look forward to getting to know you better.
