Revision from Lapband to Gastric Bypass

Apr 03, 2012

 I had the lapband done in Feb 2005 and lost 110 pounds and out of that I gained back about 65 pounds.  Over the past year I have been going to the Weight Management Center here in Chattanooga TN for the 6 month program and I lost about 15 pounds during that time.  After my 6 months were up I went to see Dr. Rutlege and he said due to my risk factors being higher than others he wanted me to lose 20 to 30 more pounds and also because of the revision from the lapband to the bypass. So now I have lost those extra pounds and have my surgery date for May 2nd 2012. I go back to see him on April 19th for a followup appt before my surgery.  Right now my weight is 292 pounds and I am very excited about my surgery.  I hope to make some new friends on here who have either been on this journey or are beginning their journey so we can do it together.
