I had the band in 2006 and lost about 120lbs 3 years later my dad passed away and i gained about 20lbs back then in 2010 got pregnant and gained almost 100lbs during my pregnancy then last april i had to have a new band put in because mine had formed a pouch above the band and have gained about 25lbs since then so now i am set to have the band removed and bypass done on april 16th !

I feel like everyone on here must think km crazy that im so scared lol

Thanks for sharing momlambert and marla ....its so nice hearing from others that were in similar situations.....im sooooo nervous about the surgery and if this is actually gonna work for me ...im 357lbs and cant imagine ever being in the 100s

Ok I have finally found a pic of when I really was at my heaviest. It was my husbands cousin who took it without me really knowing it cause I avoided pics at all cost. I kinda didn't really have many reference pics. I started crying seeing this. This reminds me just how wonderful rny was for me..not counting the curing sleep apnea and all the other health stuff. 13 more lb to my personal goal even tho my dr thinks I could still get a bit smaller..I think it just might be possible!

Ok so I'm down 85lbs so far and wanted to see how many things on my list I can now do !
1) I'm 17lbs away from weighing less than him getting closer
2) can fit in every booth that I've tried so far and even took my husband to his fav restaurant for his bday on tuesday that we haven't been to because last time we went I couldn't fit in the booth and left crying and when I sat down at the booth this time not only did I fit but I had extra room
3) haven't been on a roller coaster but did go on a carnival ferris wheel with my daughter and Water slides
4) I have SO much more energy now
5) my seatbelt fits but snug still
6) haven't flew yet
7)starting to like how I look in my clothes and wearing non elastic banded jeans
8)my feet and knees still hurt a lot
9)sex is fun again lol
10)Can sit in armed chairs again
11) Im cold all the time now haha
12) can see no but still hiding a little lol
13)I still get tired but can now move muh faster
14)I'm feeling better than I have in years still have a long way to go but I'm on my way
15) still have to shop LB and avenue

I like your #7 - wearing non-elastic waist jeans. That is one of my favorites! And now my work slacks have those little metal clip-closures. I NEVER trusted those to hold my... GIRTH... before! I just knew they weren't up to the job of decently containing me! I'm really short but for the first time in 28 years I feel petite! Lol

I'm back. Feeling for the most part a bit normal part of myself. I'm having a harder time getting back on track with dietary intake. I have a lot of emotional eating temptations right now. I somehow have managed to lose a pretty big chunk this last month at least weight wise. My belly is starting to go back down which for me is a relief in more ways than 1. Still recording my fitness pal food logs but I really wouldn't want anyone seeing what all I'm having. I'm now 14lb away from my personal goal after weighing this morning and it's the biggest positive I feel right now. My surgeon had set a bit wider if a goal but I had a number in mind I thought would make me pretty thrilled. Missed y'all. Hope y'all are all doing well

Premiering this week...... 2 sacs for 2 babies!!!!
Baby A...my little Gummy bear with the cutest beating heart!!! God is good!!!!

Ok my friends..after what was possibly the worst and lowest 10days of my life I have news. They were able to find a baby today and a heart beat!!!! It's a miracle!! Not only that they found another sac! Twins!!!! They can't tell me much of anything about baby b. Apparently my uterus is so badly tilted they can't see anything really or even if the baby is developing in there. After all the pain and stress of the last week and seeing just how God is in
Control I cant give up! I am praying God is going to take care of baby b! I'm overwhelmed a bit I think. Just knowing there is life in there where as a week ago they gave me pretty much no hope!! I thank God I listened to my heart and body and didn't go and do the d&c he wanted me to do on fri. I know He is able and I am trusting and believing. While my husb is so happy we know we have one baby with a little beating heart in there he is shocked speechless. He could only say he just doesn't understand how last week was a ghost town and this week there's 2! I have no idea how I can support 2 babies as I can barely eat or keep much down right now but I am not going to get as concerned about this part just yet. I just know miracles happen! Thank u all for the love and support u have shown me!

Alaina, i am heartbroken with you, girl. Words escape me now. I am so terribly sorry to hear this. No, it doesnt make sense and life is unfair. I wish you didnt have to go through this.
