As most of you know, I experienced a re-gain. No fault of the band. A fault of my own mental shortsidedness. But I'm back on the bench. Just dropping in to wish anyone battling the bulge good luck, whatever your avenue of lose!

Hi Brock! I am glad you are back on track and making that band work for you rather sit there and be lazy. Good to hear from you.

Awesome! I am also proof that we bandsters can still lose years later. Empower yourself with that knowledge and know that it's never too late to get back on track. Good job!

110 pounds down and still going!

My band still working after 5 years too. I re-gain weight during my husband's long illness. I cheated the band big time. I am now serious again went and had a band adjustment and I loosing again.

Good Luck.

Strategize for relapses.
If you have a plan on how to deal with a relapse, you'll spend less negative energy on the relapse and be able to get back on track.

Hey Brock! Congrats on jumping back on the band wagon!! =] I was Banded back in May 2007, and have gained 20lbs back, because I have learned over the years how to work my band. Do tell, what motivated you to get back to losing, and are you following a "plan"?
