June 06 Lapbanders out there?

I would really like to visit with some June 06 banders.....I am feeling rather discouraged right now and need some friendly advice.

Hello - I was banded on June 22, 2006. It has been a slow journey for me - I'm down 70 pounds and just recently had to be unfilled. They think I had something stuck in my band that irritated my stomach. I couldn't even ge****er down - was very scary and I felt awful. I have been unfilled for almost a week now and being so careful with food. I don't want to gain anything back. I have to go back in 2 weeks for a fill again - I am hoping to get back into a routine and start loosing again!! Good luck to you!!

Hey! I was banded june 20, 06. I am just now back on track after regaining lots of my weight while I was unfilled for pregnancy. I'm now 6 wks postpartum but need to lose 20 pounds just to get back to prepregnancy.

Why are you discouraged? With band problems or problems losing?

Hugs,
Linsey
