I had Realize Band surgery on 8/26/08, the band worked GREAT to begin with, the pounds just seemed to fall off. After about a year it just stopped working, like somebody flipped a switch. I had lost about 75lbs at that point. No matter what I did, I was stalled. I tried working out harder, changing how I ate, what I ate, the amount of calories I ate....nothing. I was ok with the stall for awhile, then instead of it breaking and starting to lose again, I started GAINING. That wasn't gonna cut it. I hired a trainer and worked with him, still the scale kept creeping up. I eventually gained about 25-30lbs back, SO.......I had the band pulled on March 18 and am now scheduled for RNY on June 14.Oddly, I was originally scheduled for surgery TODAY but, as everybody knows, the insurance company has become a factor. FUN!
