Continuing the Saga

Feb 22, 2010

Okay, it has literally been years since I posted.  My plateau has turned against me and I am now back up over 300.  My lowest weight was 255.  I am now scheduled for a revision in March 2007.   When the revision is done, I will have had both RNY and Lap band.  If this fails, what else can I do?

 

July 2008...

I guess I've left a lot out of my story.  My March 2007 revision was post poned because the Surgeon, um, decided to take some time off and there was no back up.  I finally got banded in June (25) 2007.  To make a long story short, my first band fill was in Dr. Hartley's office.  He basically just got the band initiated and put in maybe 4 or 5 ccs.  One month later I went in to the flouro lab and they put me up to 7.  I was not experiencing any restriction at all.  Every other month I went in and they had me drink barium and they would keep telling me I was as tight as they could make me.  I was tight but still able to eat just as much.  Well this exact same scenario was repeated about 5 times.  Finally, under recommendations from friends I went to the U and saw Dr. Buchwald.  He then scheduled me with Dr. Leslie for an endoscopy.  Once they ruled out any problems with my band/pouch/esopogus/etc. the added a cc to my band (now 8).  And finally, I have the restriction I've been waiting for.  It feels like it did after my first surgery.  I'm excited.
