I since had my hernia removed I was off work for 8 weeks. I thought I was going to die I was in so much pain after having the surgery. Now I am 10 months out I have lost 79 pounds and I am finally able to eat real food with out gagging. My body has changed so much I have lost the ablilty to pass gas without pooping which sucks big time. I have to be careful what I eat because it is coming out (I know that is TMI) and the smell is like no other. I can honestly say I love the way I look now when people see me they do a double take just to make sure it is me. I have lost a total of 79 pounds I am down from 265 to 186 the last time I weighed in the 100 range I was 18 at 191 pounds. I do hate that I have lost my hair and it is very thin I will be glad when it grows back I need to up my vitamin intake. I still have not gotten around to posting any pictures yet just lazy but I feel so good about me now my confidence is through the roof. I know I got to get serious about working out more and taking better care of myself but I am getting there wish me luck. :)

I HAVE NOT POSTED IN A LONG TIME BUT JUST TO GET EVERYONE CAUGHT UP ON MY PROGRESS THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I had my surgery on Nov 4th 2009.  The surgery was suppose to take 2hours but it lasted 7 due to scar tissue from my lapband removal and my c-sections. I stayed in the hospital for 6 days unable to keep even ice chips down but the crazy thing is I did not have any pain just a little burning around the insicisions. my problem now even after 3 weeks I have a tremendous amount of gas that I can not get rid of  sometimes it builds up so bad it makes me throw up and I am still having trouble eating. My vomit smells so bad it can clear a room it smells like feces. I kept telling the doctor about the pain in my stomach I finally got him to take a cat scan on Dec 15th. The doctor just called me today to tell me that I have a hernia and that part of my bowel has leaked through an insicion that did not close so I have been throwing up feces I am scared and need to know what to do. I need to seek a second opinion who is a good surgeon in wisconsin please help me. The doctor also informed me that he left some of the tubing from the lap band inside my stomach. What can I do.   

Today I had my consult with Dr. Chua it went well I went with the DS surgery and will be submitting my paperwork to my Insurance company I can't wait I am going to give it a couple of days maybe Friday and call my Insurance to inquire about approval. I actually contacted my Insurance company the day I decided to get a revision from the Lapband to DS and they said they cover it I am not worried I just want to get my date

I have my appointment with the nutritonalist on June 19th and psychologist on July 1st I am hoping to to get in an earlier appointment with the phycologist I am keeping my fingers crossed that someone cancels so I can get in

I can't wait to wear a sexy dress and high heels
