Hi Everyone, I haven't posted a lot. I'm still a rookie at this. I have been so thankful for everyone sharing their experience that I thought I should be brave and share too & become active here.

I'm 45 yrs old (will be 46 next week .. gah!) and had the band put in about 5 years ago. No complications that I was aware of. I had a fill, then unfill etc...I finally got to sick of it I had the revision to RNY on 08/11. I only lost about 30 lbs.

My doc said that my band had slipped and it was too tight. Sooo glad it's gone. Oh and get this....I forgot to weigh the morning of surgery. I haven't got on the scale because I'm still all bloated & swollen. I think I started around 307 lbs. Here's to a new outlook and new behaviors!

You will do great. It works if you work it! Keep us posted!

Thanks aelovelady! ????
