I was banded nearly 6.5 years ago, have lost over 100 pounds, but need to lose another 100+. I know I need to get back to the lap band way of eating and if I did, I could go far. I have done it before, I can do it again.

I have had complications with my lap band, a hole in my tubing and a stretched esophagus. Those two problems made approximately 3.5 years of my banded life unproductive. The hole in my tubing was fixed, but I am still worried about the stretched esophagus. I am afraid that since I have stretched my esophagus once, it would be easy to do it again. Therefore, I am looking to lose without having any more fills.

I know I need to exercise more and I have been working on that, but not as hard as I could be.

Ok, that's me... if you want a friend who has been there, almost done that... friend me... I would love to have a lap band buddy or 6 or 20 to give me courage and give me someone to be accountable to besides me in the mirror.
