I've had my band for just over a year, but I'm interested in your situation. How would you say your lifestyle has changed since having the band? Have you been able to maintain your weight loss over that time?

It will be 4 years of being banded for me 01/07 and I have been stable and have maintained my weight pretty much without really dieting but I still havent reached my goal, I went for a fill in October and the doctor tolded me I had a dialated pouch from drinking and eating so he gave me an small unfill instead of a fill and I am suppose to return this month but I think I am going to return next month with I am ready to continue my journey to reach my goal.

Hi,

I have had the band for two years and 2 months! I am attempting to get an unfill, if I could just find out when the next clinic in Telford is. Everyone is nagging me that I need to stop losing weight, hence the unfill.

It is a weird situation, I never expected to get down to a size 12 let alone be only 10st and falling! It is still the best thing I have ever done but my relationship with food has done an about turn and now I hardly eat. Has anyone else been through a similar experience?
