I got banded 2 years ago and now I am 20lbs heavier than when I went in. I have no one to blame but myself because I drink when I eat. That is my biggest problem, I cheat. Now two years out and 215lbs later, I hate the way I look, feel and I want to make a change but don't know how. Any advice would be apreciated. Today I made a promise to myself to actually stick ot the dieting. See, before I waas not committed to dieting, I'd et whatever I want.:wink:

Maybe you should go and get another fill since it's been a while, your body has gotten acustomed to how you started eating. Don't give up.

Good advise from everyone...you need to get into a support group and also go see if you need a fill....I would also suggest the 5 day pouch test. Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

Good luck, Joanie :wink:)

Take it one step at a time. Step one: Go get your band tightened. Step two: quit drinking when you eat. This is a hard one as you've done this your whole life! I know it was my hardest.

Once you get step 1 & 2 down start step 3 which is exercise of some sort. Whether it's going for a walk or riding your bike.

Good luck!!! Take control back. You can do it!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
