Hello from GA

Well i have posted a few times on the Fill boards but i have never stoped in here to say hello....

well my name is Laura and i had my band put on Nov 3,06 in mexico..i was scared but it was all i could afford and i knew i made the right decision. See In April 04 i had RNY surgery ...only lost about 40 pounds ....well lost my insurance so could not go back and see what the deal was ..actually i just thought i was a slow loser ...Well this year i noticed i was gaining about 5 pounds a month and my eating was not changing ...so when i got new insurance i went and got scoped and found out i have a 1oz pounch but no restriction. Well the original surgern is not with that Doc anymore and the doc refused to do anything to fix this ...so i started to call other docs in Ga and no one would touch me with a 10 foot poll...I guess doc dont like to follow each other ( according to my PC) so i looked in Fl and found someone to fix me but my insurance would not cover him ...So Mexico here i come ....Went down there and talked about what my options were and then adjustable band sounded to be the best so i went for it ....So now here i am ....I am getting married in May 07 and i just want 30 pounds off but i will take more if it happends LOL but 30 would make me happy ...i just get down sometimes thinking that i thought all this was over for me 3 years ago with my RNY and here i am going thru the same crap again ( surgery, not being able to eat and all that jazz) but maybe this is finally the answer for me ...I don't know i guess only time will tell ...but i do get my first fill on Dec 16 in Ga so that is good ....

Ok i have talked enough here

Hi Laura and welcome to LBT! I am so sorry to hear that your original surgery did not work out, I have never heard of that happening. Hopefully the band will work well for you and you will achieve your weight loss goals. I have found it to be a wonderful tool. Also, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. We looking forward to getting to know you better.
