I am set to have my surgery October 7 . I have so excited to began this new journey of my life. I have always been a big girl but after the surgery I can Finley unzip my fat sute once and for all lol. I have been reading posts that are very incourgeing and hopeful that I have made the right choice for me. I would like a surgery buddy lol....

Rafa what happened to your band surgery? Didnt work? The surgeons I go to wont even do the band anymore. Guess its been bad.

I got the band in 08, reached goal by 2010 of 140lbs, maintained for about 7 months and had a really bad stomach bug. All the vomiting made my band slip. The doctor took all the fluid out of my band, waited a few weeks and it "unslipped"... Except every time I got close to my "sweet spot" (perfect fill amount), it would slip again. After many emergency visits I realized the band wasn't going to work for me. Now I've gained 90 out of the 130lbs I'd lost and talked myself into getting a revision. I got the process started in June and now I just can't wait to get it done! I don't encourage anyone to get the band. Out of 3 people I know who got it (including myself), 1 has had it removed due to complications and I'm in the process of getting it removed too. The 3rd person never reached goal (only halfway) and she got it a year before I did.

*sorry my post is so long, I just figured I'd give you the whole shppeal since you asked lol

Lol!! Don't be sorry! I love reading about this stuff! Wish I had time to read it all day! Thanks for sharing. What a mess!! Sorry u had to go thru all that. Are r u doing the roux en y? At least u can still do something different to take the weight off and keep it off!! I have friends that tried to talk me into the sleeve but my gut said to stick with my original decision of the RNY!!

Yup, definitely RNY, there's a significant number of sleeves being revised to bypass too, so what's the point, right? I just wish I'd gone with the bypass to begin with.

Oh really?? I didn't know that! I honestly didn't research as much as I should have. But the sleeve seemed too new to me. Don't dwell on your first decision. You didn't know what would happen. Now mover forward no worries!!! It will get better!!

I'm in Michigan

Hey DebbieDenise I'm from Illinois and just spent a beautiful week up your way on Mackinac Island!!

LUCKY DUCKY Good Luck!!!!!

Thanks bigjimskiki, just glad I only have 10 days of a liquid diet but actually it is more like a month, 10 before and 14 after. I'm surviving, but a big juicy hamburger right now would be great. Guess I'll settle for chicken broth protein mix .
