Topic: Fallen bander- back on track
So, confessions of a fallen bander. I have had my band for about 3 1/2 years. My band was my best friend for the first 2 1/2, but the last year has been a major struggle for me. I lost 88 pounds, just 15 from my true goal. I ended up pregnant, very unexpectedly...twice and lost both babies. I have a lot of baggage, including the loss of my 16 year old daughter almost 8 years ago, and needless to say,after 27 years of infertility to find myself unexplectedly expecting (even at 46) and then to lose it (twice) was devastating. I went through a horrible time emotionally, and the bottom line is I have finally come out on the other side of my loss....30 pounds heavier. I am disappointed in myself, but determined to get back on track and get that 30 PLUS the other 15 off. Has anyone else found themselves at the bottom of a downhill slide and have advice for me. I would greatly appreciate the support. Sorry for the length of my post.

Trisha,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope you will speak to your Doctor concerning the "next steps". Don't rush into anything without fully understanding all options.

Topic: FRIDAY GRATEFUL POST
Good Friday Morning Everyone,
This is the last friday grateful post for 2011. I for one am really looking forward to ALL the positive changes in my family in the new year. Life is certainly looking up for my family. For those things I am SO grateful. Reflecting on 2011.....I am SO grateful for these things that happened. My oldest son married the love of his life in May and they are about 10 weeks pregnant now. My middle son met his birth mom ( we adopted him as a new born 26 yrs. ago ) and he found out that she did herion.... which was his drug of choice for over 5 yrs ) when she was pregnant with him and was still a user. God turned that curse into a blessing by him entering into the Teen Challenge program on August 9th ( year long program or longer ) and doing amazing. Grateful that my son is now a healthy weight ( he went into TC at 119 after living in my house and me poking food down him for a month to 160+ lbs ). My youngest son is finally settled at a Christian college in Dallas after attending 2 others. He is very happy and settled at this one. My bloodwork all came out wonderful 6 yrs post op WLS and my hubby is doing well. These are the things that I am SO grateful for this year. Can't wait to see what 2012 will have in store for my family. Grateful for mamy many other things in 2011...for Obesity Help., support groups, weight loss and maintance, my Faith and answered prayers. PLEASE share witih us if you will what you are grateful for this past year. Have a blessed and safe New Years weekend.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
