Back 4 years later!!! My journey continues...

Dec 24, 2012

Hi guys it's been awhile ...so much has happened since the last time I was here!  I'll give you the quick version...i was banded in 2008 lost a total of 83lbs. Late october 09' I had a bad fall and hurt my back and knees. My injuries prevent me from working out.(at least the way i used too) and I gained 45 lbs back. I'm at the tightest restriction possible so there's no more getting adjustments and if i don't want to keep getting injections for the rest of my life my doctors all recommend me losing weight.  So after much thought and research i decided to speak with my surgeon's right hand man regarding getting the sleeve. After explaining everything the first thing she said to me was that i wasn't a failure(because I sure felt like one) and that they do more revisions from band to sleeve than putting new bands in.  So after meeting with her I felt much better and now working through all my pre-op stuff so i can get sleeved. I can't tell you how excited I am....stay tuned!
