I'm not going to lie and say it's been easy. it hasn't. It has been eas-IER than the diets I put myself through year after year after year. I have had my ups and downs, fills and total unfills, hiatial hernia surgery and a bit of a battle to adapt to the "new and improved" band. (I just like the first one better.)

Despite everything, and despite me still wanting to use food as emotional rescue, I have still maintained a 169 pound weight loss.

No one should think that this surgery - or ANY WLS - is going to be easy. We each have to do our part, to do everything possible to insure a good result. And even then, it is still possible to have no success. And I don't know why: bad luck? Bad surgeon? Bad physiology?
