Sreeves

Hi, my name is Sheri. i originally joined BariatricPal in 2007 before Lap Band surgery in Mexico (Nov. 2007, Dr. Acevez) but I didn't really get involved with the forum here, opting instead for a yahoo forum. I did lose quite a bit of weight with the band but I got way too tight and my fill nurses quit their services during that time and my husband lost his job, making a visit to a band doctor at $350 per fill impossible. So, I proceeded to eat around my band for the next 3 years and managed to stretch my pouch but good. I am now looking into revision surgery (Steven Hunter, Virginia Mason, Federal Way, WA) and I am trying to get my head in the game this time. I did learn a lot from my banding experience and I am hoping to learn even more before starting this journey. I would like some suggestions on reading ,material (head hunger, etc) and I am looking to connect with others no matter where you are in your journey. We're all in this together, right? :)
