Found My Way Back to OH

Nov 15, 2017

I have not been on this website in so many years that I actually forgot it was here. If it weren't for a friend of mine asking if anyone had had lap band surgery in Mexico before, I probably would never have found my way back. While researching to find my surgeons info, I came across OH and jumped for joy. The people in this community will never know how much they helped me get through those first few months!

I originally joined OH because I was going to Mexico for a Lab Band surgery with Dr. Alverez. I did well in the beginning and for the first 2 years but then I started having issues and I had to get unfilled. At that point, my doctor here in the states found I was having an allergic reaction to the material the band was made from and I was scheduled to have it removed. I a revision from Lap Band to Gastric Sleeve in May of 2012. WOW!!! It's been 5.5 years since the revision and I'd maintained my weightloss until these past 2 years.

Stress, depression and severe anemia have left me with zero energy and a 35 pound weight gain. Now that we know my monthly cycle is the culprit, I'm scheduled for an OB/GYN procedure at the end of this month to fix me up. Until then, I've been having iron infusions twice a month. I hate feeling this way. I'm tired before I even get out of the bed and find myself wanting to get back in the bed only hours after waking up. I've been having anxiety attacks because of the weight gain and the thought of gaining all of that weight back literally gives me nightmares. I'm truly hoping to reconnect to the community in here and once again find my way back to a healthier weight and healthier lifestyle.

Ase' and Blessed Be.
