Back on the "Band" wagon

lsherack · February 26, 2009

Hi everyone,

I am new to the site and I am feeling I need to talk to other bander's who can possibly relate. I am going to my first appt. tomorrow in over 3 yrs to the clinic were I had my band done here in Sydney NSW. I feel a total failure as I only lost about 11kg in the first 6 months and have since put it all back on. I should have gone back long ago but failure kept me away.:thumbup: I don't know if was all me, or if the band has slipped or what and I won't be able to find this out until I go back and see the doctor. I have even had thoughts since it hasn't worked for me I would have the band removed. I have now decided to take the bull by the horns and do this thing right. But I now know I can't do it alone. I will write again tomorrow when I get back from my appt and let you all know what they tell me. :tt2:

Welcome, good luck with your appointment and hoping you can put your past failures behind you- you can succeed this time!

Do post about how you get on at the appointment and what advice you are given.

maybe you needed more fills for the band to work so you can lose the weight? .. i hope the app goes well for you.. its so important to keep every app or go get fills when its not working in your favour or just go talk to the docs & see what other possibilities there are for you in helping this lapband work for you

keep us posted & good luck this tme round

Hey, you're going back to the doctor and that's a great start. I applaud you for getting the ball rolling again. I'm sure there are plenty of people here that have had similar experiences and will be willing to coach you along. Good luck!
