I have posted Kate's address on the main forum for anyone who would like to send a card to the family. I know it would mean a lot to them as her husband was very touched when I told him of everyone's response. So feel free to send a card, it is more expensive but I think it will be worth it to show her family how important she was to us as well!

Topic: RE: Starting over - reprise

I am also starting again after having some complications and being too tight. I am completely emptied at this time and am hungry all of the time. I have gained back 70 of the 80 that I lost. I am trying so hard to eat right but it is so difficult for me ( had a bad afternoon because there was a baby shower with cake) I have a very long ways to go and it feels very discouraging. I am trying to take it one day at a time. good luck!!

Topic: RE: I Need Support - Returning Here After Years

Thank you for replying and sharing your story. It helps to know that I'm not alone. After I posted this, I stopped drinking during meals and have noticed an improvement. I also am on day 3 of the 5 day pouch test, and SURPRISE! My band actually still works. I had just figured out a way to avoid it. I have my doctor's appointment on Friday. I'll let you know how it goes. Also please let me know how you're doing as well. http://www.5daypouchtest.com

Topic: RE: I Need Support - Returning Here After Years

Bridget, i am right here with you. my lap band surgery was in 2009. I went fron 307 to 242, but then got over- confident and started to try different foods. Before I knew it i was drinking with meals and gaining weight. i am back up to 274 and miserable. i have just scheduled a return visit to my surgeon and today have promised myself to stop drinking with and after eating. i am trying to get my mind back to where it was when i first had surgery. i saw the othere posts to you, and they are right. we can start over any time.

i wish you well, and i would like to hear how you are doing! good luck!

Thank you so much for letting us know. I am so sorry about Kate. She and I had been exchanging messages about a week or so ago. It really drives home the fact that life is so uncertain. I truly hope she will rest in peace. My condolences to her family.
