Sunshine....

Talked with hubby about all the feelings I've got rolling around - guilt at being a failure and excitement for a new option and guilt at being excited. Anyway, I'm feeling much better today, and very optimistic. I tried the band, gave it my best shot, lost 90 lbs and now its not agreeing with me.

 

Its time to cut my losses and move on - hoping my surgeon can get me approved for a revision - if so I'll be looking to have surgery in September. It would be kinda funny if I ended up with 9/12 as that is also the day I was banded.

 

Later....

    It's good to have a place to vent and show our emotions. Knowing that probably most of us have felt the same way. Keep us posted.

    Lynn,

    I just want to say welcome...just read a bit of your story. While I didn't have the band first, from all the revisions I've read about, everyone is much happier with the sleeve. I also want to reiterate what you already know...you are not a failure, you lost 90 pounds and then the band had problems, not you!

    Good luck with this process!
