Thanks guys!

I was so excited getting the band and my family knew how happy I was to get the band....well the first 2 months I lost 30 lbs I was so happy and so were the ones closest to me. Eventually I started getting the urge to eat wrong foods such as pizza pasta fried food etc...I would get stuck but once the feeling went away I would continue to eat even if i threw up. My appetite was crazy. I got pregnant 5 months after being banded but kept my 6 cc in my band. I only gained 20 lbs whole pregnancy. I started gaining weight after pregnancy I can now eat a whole sub like I did post op. I had the band since feb 11. I weighed 229 day of surgery I am now 222. I felt like such a failure to my family and friends to have been so excited and to now be the same size as I was pre band. I talked to my surgeon and he agreed to do my sleeve...I have fed bcbs of Pennsylvania and I got approved in 5 days! Now I have to get my ECD done on step 19th then I will get my surgery date yay! I hate my band and how uncomfortable I am when I eat. BTW I'm 5.1 and 24 yrs old
