My Bypass Adventure

Hello to all!

4 years ago I had lap band. In the first 13 months I lost 125 pounds then it slipped! Doctor replaced it then it slipped again, got it replaced again!!! Then infection accrued around port so he went in cleaned infection out and was going to replace my band! He slipped and punctured stomach and I was in hospital for 9 days.

My next option was bypass but my insurance rejected They stated "only one weight loss surgery in a life time". Well then I lost my job and health care.

I finally got health care and started all over again. I'm scheduled for Jan 23, 2014 and so excited. I can not wait!
