  3. I wish I had a pic of before original surgery lapband where highest was 227 in 2009. I will find one . But for this part of my journey revision after band complications I was 188 and was starting to feel pain in my whole body. I know my pics are nowhere as dramatic as most. But I can tell my body hurts less. 25 to 30 pounds before I am no longer over weight according to charts . First two are before Rest after about month I am starting to feel my dorky self.
  4. Fantastic job !!! I can’t wait to start running again. I have been hoping losing weight will help with nasty prolonged case of planter fasciitis.

  8. Mine was 33 or 32 and yes I would do it again. I don’t want to be dealing with all these health issues as I age, I already hurt body wise, I can only imagine how much more painful it would be at 60 and 70.

  10. Only my immediate family knows. Since I was a lower BMI and revision well I remember all the comments ten years ago. So for me I am not telling and in my case since it’s not going to be terribly noticeable I am comfortable know one will guess either lol. I said I had a hernia repaired and that’s true my darn band did serious damage including herniated esophagus.

  17. I asked about your Kiaser location for here because I was done though west la facility as revision my original was not thought them either. They only have Baratric doctors at certain facilities so after emergency room visit they had me drive to la to see one as local Kiaser did not have surgeon in that specialty.
