Carrie - yes I can relate, but not because of the aftercare issue - I was banded in MX and know the resources are there if I utilize them, but I need to change my mindset - its different than what your going through but what I go through is I freak out that I will lose weight and then for some reason will have to fly solo without the band and then I will gain it all back because I am not conisistent with my eating patterns - thats why I need to get into a good pattern so if one day God forbid I lose my band - I want to be able to do it on my own and be strong enough to stay with it. Right now I can't do it without my band - but I feel like there is this ticking time clock everyday.....weird....I'm trying to figure it out and get a handle on my patterns - this is my only chance - I couldn't financially afford to get another band if I have to have this one removed and it really freaks me out.
