Default band surgery

Hello----I had my band surgery in December of 2007. Dr Lahmann did my surgery but I have seen Dr Joyce a couple of times. I have been really having a bad time lately and about a month ago the doctor loosened my band up a lot because I was getting sick all the time. I had lost 50 pounds but unfortunately I have put some back on. I am going in today to have it retightened and start from step 1. I really want to make this work! I am 61 years old and have diabetes among other health problems so I need to take the weight off. I live in Morris so I can't be too far from you. I haven't attended any of the support groups but am going to try and get started doing that. I have got to the point where I can hardly eat any meat or chicken but I still like eggs, cottage cheese and fish. How are you doing? I sincerely hope better than I am!
