three years and still trying!

Hi lasonyadj,

If you get the opportunity to get a new band, as it sounds like the current one isn't working that well for you, then I'd certainly go for it!

And many people have said that the band is just a tool, one like the counselling etc that we should all go through.

All of us that got the lap band wouldn't have gone through with this if we could lose weight any other way, so if you still need help, I say get it. It's taken me a long time, but I am slowly but surely modifying my habits and thinking and eating and moving more like a thin person. Even though I'm no where near where I need to be yet.

You sound like you are doing all the right things, if you can get that support from your surgeon, that is great and will surely help. The main thing is to keep all of the good things you are doing up, the wieght has to come off eventually.

Good luck and let us know what happens!
