I had to convert from Lapband to RNY

Sep 11, 2010

Well, I gave it my best shot.  The Lap-Band is a great tool!  It really reduced the amount of food I ate.  The only problem was I just didn't lose weight.  However, I know some other people who are having great weight loss with this tool.  I got my band ( I named her Bandice) in April of 2006.   After giving Bandice 4 years,  I converted to RNY on 03/02/2010.  Today is 09/11/2010 and I have lost 60 pounds.  I am 305.2 and I can't wait to get out of the 300s!  I must admit that I was worried if the RNY would work for me.  After trying EVERYTHING, I wasn't sure that this one would work either.  Luckily, my fears were unfounded.  I am still losing slower than others who have had the suregry and that just let me know that my body REALLY didn't want to let go of this fat!  I am happy that I had the band and do not regret one minute of it.  If I didn't have it, how would I know is it would work or not?  I want to lose at least another 30 pounds before the end of the year.
