I'm Corrie and I was banded over 7 years ago by Dr. Arturo Rodriguez in Monterrey, Mexico. I live in the Seattle area with my family. I lost 70lbs in the first 7 months post op, but then got pregnant and stopped losing weight because I stopped making good food choices. I then had another child and continued to maintain some of my weight loss. I am at the point now that I realize further weight loss is very unlikely and I'm considering having a revision and then a RNY or VS. I'm weighing my options at this point, but I do believe that only a surgical option will help me with successful weightloss. My revision will be done at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle with Dr. McMahon.
I'm excited to interact once again with fellow bandsters and I'd like to hear from people that have had revisions to other bariatric surgical options.
