From Failure to Success



Recommended Posts

I had the lap band for two years and my doctor wanted to do the removal and replacement of the sleeve all at once. So, it was done all at once on July 15th. I must say that I have lost 15 lbs in 9 days which is simply marvelous, I just wish it was a bit easier to adjust my eating (drinking) my food, It is a huge difference from the two in terms of recuperating and eating styles. Im in for the long term changes here and I'm on the fence here... But no turning back now! Lol! I have to keep telling myself... it will all be worth it in the end :)

The sleeve is soooo much more different! I had a couple of sad days but I'm over it now and been walking every day and feeling better day by day :) the sleeve is way more affective!

I had the band placed in 2010 I at my biggest was 389 :( I got pregnant 1 year after band was placed lost 120 pounds then gained 45. My band started to fail on me after I had her, went to an awesome Bariatric dr, and had the revision surgery. Was approved tru Medicaid very fast. I am a year post op and have lost 105 pounds and officially lost 200 pounds since 2010 whoooohooo!!! I am a changed person weigh 189 and feel amazing.. I am done on weight loss and my surgeon is working on my Tummy Tuck procedure next is my arm surgery. Due to 200 pound loss skin on arms is a must to remove, stomach is not bad but is recommend to be removed. I wear lots of dresses and love it :). Transition is a tiny hard, but u will adjust quickly and love it I promise u can eat almost what u want just very tiny portions best decision in my life :).. Good luck to you darling you can do it!

      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.
