5In 2008, I had the lapband done. Up until a little over a year ago I was doing pretty well on not gaining weight too bad. I was close to my goal at 175#. I would like to get down to about 160#. I'm 5'3". That was about 6 years ago. Then over time the yoyo restarted. I put on about 40 lbs in a year an got back to my presurgery weight plus an extra 20. I gave up, got depressed, got reflux really bad and began having problems with my band. Now I am 245, lost about 5 lbs in 6 months weight management plan for insurance purposes. I am starting a 5 day pre op clear diet for Thursday revision to the sleeve. I have mixed emotions. I am excited about another chance to have the body I want. Scared of the possible vitamin deficiencies, hair loss, risks of procedure, and being a failure again. But I will not fall to the negative thoughts, power of positive attraction.
