I'm a mom of 4 beautiful boys. Gavin, Josh, Andy, and Kayden. I started out at 299lbs when I had lapband surgery. 8 months after having surgery I got pregnant with Kayden. He was a wonderful surprise and blessing. After Kayden was born I started having major band complications. I could not keep solid protein down to save my life. Then soon everything was making me PB - including water and warm tea. Finally after several trips to my surgeon and not getting better, it was decided that somehow my pregnancy hormones have ruined my band. Quite frankly, that's the stupidest thing I have ever heard but no one can give me any other explanation. So I'm off on a new journey of getting a revision to DS and God willing, the dang weight will come off once and for all.
