Posted April 7, 2019

Started out my journey 6 years ago with 263 lbs, HBP, Heart murmur, C-Pap machine, asthma issues... and a whole slew of other health issues. So I went through the process and dis the lap-band. Things looked great. Then about 3 years ago I started getting choked on foods. I thought, I just taking to big of a bite. So I slowed down even more and took smaller bites. Then it got to where I was getting choked on liquids. So I eventually had to go back and see my bariatric dr. He did all kinds of testing, labs. But, it was determined that that the lap band had to come out because the scar tissue was causing a stricture around the lip of my lapband. So April 2nd I had lapband removal and gastric bypass put in place. So now I'm 5 days post OP and I'm currently 221 lbs from my starting point pre surgery at 239. First picture is my pre lapband self and my post lapband self. 2nd pic is GBS day and my scars. Still bloated from gas. Last picture was me before GBS. I still hurt but I walk and eat/drink my SF Jello and High Protein Shakes.

Good luck to you all and I'll continue to post after surgery pictures as I take them.

  Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

  Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
