Jsrico, Also so happy to hear you are doing well after your revision. I hope you keep us posted on your progress. Margaret (NimbleBean) said it perfectly as well, it is important to keep connected. We need to help each other.
NimbleBean, I am so excited about your progress as well. I keep plugging along, at about the same, you both are inspirations to me to keep at the battle. Hopefully my next post I can write that I have finally lost at least a pound or two! Keep up the good work!

So today is day 4 after my revision to gastric. Not feeling 100% yet but on my way. I have that same excitement as when I first had my Lapland done. I can see the finish line in my mind of the new healthier, thinner me. I pray it goes well this time around. I am not left disappointed or with having to have another surgery. So here are my new STATS
Before lapband 265
Before removal 237
After revision to gastric 225

JSRICO,
Glad to hear you made it through your revision surgery well. My thoughts will be with you as you start this leg of your journey. Please keep us all posted about your progress. No matter what method or methods we use, I think the support we can give each other is tremendously important. Only we who have lived the struggle and made these life-changing decisions can really understand what we go through.
All best,
Margaret (NimbleBean)

Well our anniversary month is just about over. Can't believe those 5 years went by so quickly.
I'm still doing well with my Band/Weight Watchers combo. At weigh-in tonight, I was down 4.8 lbs. for the week, that's 42.8 with WW and adding in my Band and per-Band diet losses, that comes to 98.4 total since early 2007. But, I'm keeping my eye on my goal and have another 46.6 lbs to lose. I'm going to kick up the exercise (I really hate exercise, so this will need to be a big kick in the a** that I give myself!).
Hope you are all doing well. Would love to read others' stories, challenges, setbacks, victories, etc.!
Cheers,
Margaret
