I'm a jumpin' too. This is the year I will lose more than 100 pounds. How are you starting? I already told my family to either eat up all of that junk food that is in this house or I will throw it out. Not having it in the house to take "just one bite" will make this long journey a lot easier. By the way, Babs, what is a port revision? Why did you need one? I too was banded in June of '08 and my port is sideways. So I was just wondering what a port revision is. Anyway, Happy New Years everybody. And let's get this weight off!:)

I had a port revision because my port bonked against my ribs continuously, I couldn't get comfortable no matter how I slept or sat, I tried to adjust myself all the time - lean to the side LOL, but it just wasn't working.

The new port is a low profile port that is smaller and thinner (this is what the Doc says) it was placed inside using the same incision site and they moved it slightly further away from my ribs.

Feels great now! No pain at all :)

Me too! I got my first fill a month ago and don't have much restriction. I ate like a pig over Christmas although intellectually I know that without my band I would probably have eaten twice as much.

I finally got up the gumption to weigh myself this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see I'd "only" gained two pounds!

Now I need to work the band and perhaps schedule an earlier second fill appointment (it is currently scheduled for March).

Let's all "jump back on" and achieve our goals (or close to them) this year!
