Apr 10, 2011

Well, I'm trying to start getting everything together again for my upcoming surgery.
I had my band removed the Thursday after Labor Day of 2009 with emergency surgery.

My stomach had become twisted and the blood flow to part of my stomach had been cut off.

I luckily found a doctor  that would see me.  I had been hurting for a whle and had been refused by all doctors I had contacted due to the fact that I had my band placed in Mexico.
I was scheduled to go back to my doctor in Mexico the next weekend, but didn't make it.

As I said, the band was removed.  I was given the option to have another one placed at that time if my stomach looked okay.  I said, "No!". 

I stayed in the hospital for 2 days recovering.  I told myself I would not gain the weight back.  I'd just stick to the band rules.  Well, it didn't work that way.

I've gained all of my weight back,  plus some. 

I've met with a doctor about the sleeve and I have it scheduled for June 13th.  Now I'm just gathering info and trying to get myself ready to start this again.  Praying it is better than the band.
