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!!
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.

I am in shock! I will miss her very much. She has contributed so much.
I just saw this post. Kate will be truly missed. Such sad news.
She was such a kind person and a great source of knowledge for the bandsters.
I have had a day to process this and I can tell you my heart hurts more today as I came back on OH and read all the posts on all the forums, I love reading how Kate touched so many here . Karen! I know this had to be hard for you but thanks again for letting us all know. We all loved Kate and will miss her terribly. There are only a couple of you that have been a constant presents on my journey. You all have made my journey easier, knowing I could come on here and ask questions and get support from you , Kate, and Bette. I will truly miss her. I pray for her and her family.
