Unbanded

Oct 11, 2011

Lost my band in March due to a slip.  I had lost 81 lbs.  In 7 months unbanned I gained back 33 lbs.  My insurance company approved the revision surgery and on 9/16 I was sleeved.  It's been a hard struggle as I had to have a second surgery 10 days later (unrelated to the sleeve).  So I've been down and out for 3 weeks.  Tomorrow is my first day back to work.  I'm still having a lot of incision site pain and I'm learning that the sleeve is much different from the band.  The band there was no mistaking that I was full.  The sleeve (so far) is less obvious.  I've got to learn to get over these bad habits.  I'm so afraid that the evil part of my brain will push me in the wrong directions.  I'm so out of touch with my body.  I always see myself as fat even when I am not.  Fingers crossed!
