I hope to describe my journey through the land of losing weight with the help of the Realize Band. I had one band put in on March 3rd but it became infected and had to be removed. I had a band put back in on June 17th and have hopes of losing 90 pounds.

Back to Square One
So we are back to Square One. Paul told me that at least it isn't Square Zero where we've been before. I spent the last 3 days throwing up so when I went in to see the doctor, he said that there was too much inflammation so he took out ALL of the saline in the band. It has to stay that way for three weeks and by then the inflammation should be gone and we start over with the fills again. So, I've been on liquids for several days and at least today everything stayed down. At least I'd lost another 3 pounds. I'll have to watch my intake closely because it will be easy to over eat. At least, the band is still in. I read that they have recalled this particular band because of a problem with the tubing stretching, however, they are not replacing any that have been put in already. It seems that they do not believe that there is a problem with leaving the ones in that have already been put in. More things to continue to think about.
