Full Circle
I am now 36 years old, and I am just now beginning to learn that I can't play this game by "my rules". A little bit of history about my story: I was banded in 2007 - ironically the same date as today 10-09. I lost around 60 pounds. I had a child in 2009, and a revision to my band in 2010. My port flipped, bust was fixed after surgery. I have been doing everything in the world to lose weight other than utilize this band that is within me. I started drinking during meals and after meals. I stopped going for fills and maintenance. I basically had this band sitting in me doing nothing but collecting dust. Today is my 6th year band anniversary, and because I have realized that I have come full circle once again only to be empty handed, back at square 1. I have one of the original 4 cc bands. Today I got a fill: I hadn't had one in over 2 years. I think I can do this again - I have to do this again. I almost need re-educated on what to do. Feeling hopeless and hopeful all at once.
