Starting Over in 2012



Recommended Posts

I was banded 10/08/2008 at 326lbs. I was down to 192 in May 2011 when my band slightly slipped. The slip was not bad enough for insurance to consider it medically necessary to repair. If I have much of a fill then I can hardly drink Water during the day and only get down Soups and ice cream at night. So I get dehydrated and still don't lose much due to malnourishment and a large consumption of ice cream at night. This has caused my metabolism to plumit. I was used to a lot of restriction and now have NONE!! I have gained nearly 100lbs in 1 1/2 years. I know I have to do this on my own at least for now. At my last lap band appt I was at 255 in August 2012. I want to try this on my own and when I get back to about 260 go back to see him. I will then try a small fill and go from there. I was wearing 14's comfortably and now in 24's. This is so hard for me to write. I am balling my eyes out right now but I know this is my fault. Wish me luck and motivation.

I assume the Dr unfilled your band to allow it to settle back into position?

i am so sorry to hear this. i just had a revision and i can't imagine what it would be like to have to live with a slipped band. can you appeal the insurance now that you've gained the weight? before my revision i was living on Soups and ice cream too. i totally get it. luckily, i only had about 6 weeks of living that way. you really need to push for the surgery. there must be a way to make them see that it IS necessary for your health and well-being! that said, i am impressed at how you are taking the bull by the horns instead of letting it kick you in the rear. i am rooting for you and i'm here if you need support.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
