Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hard to believe, but yesterday was my 8-year anniversary of getting Banded.That means Dan Lester's 8 yrs is coming up soon too. Not easy and often not much fun, but it has been very well worth it for me. I had to make many major changes in my life and eating, and it is easy to fall back into bad habits. I still believe that most doctors do not emphasize how much we have to change ourselves to do well with the Band. Many allow us to think that losing weight will be easy and automatic. There are also a higher percentage of complications, some requiring band removal, than we thought in the first few years if band knowledge. I had my second port replacement about 8 weeks ago, and now have a good fill again. I've lost 10 of the extra 20# I put on in the last 18 months from all the stress of taking care of my mother - plus my own poor eating choices. Sure seems harder to lose this time!
