Hey all!
I was banded Dec 2010 and lost 160lb (350-190) making it to my goal weight ( I'm 6'1.5"). Had to have my band removed in Feb of 2015 and the surgeon who took it out said he wouldn't qualify me for a sleeve because he didn't think I needed it. Well a year and a lot of stressors later I gain almost 79lbs back and my new surgeon has approved me for a bypass due to reflux and my shown propensity to regain the weight. I have an upper GI (May 6th) and a sleep study (April 23) to do and I will know my surgery date! I am so nervous but finally ready to have something permanent to help me with the life I deserve for me and my family. Can't wait to share my continued journey with you all and read about your journey in the process
