I had Lap-Band done in August 2006. I went from 280 down to 160. Except then I could no longer get any more restriction from the band. It was completely full and I slowly started gaining weight back. I've gotten back up to 230 and have a closet full of size 12 pants that I can't wear anymore.
I'm hoping to have a Vertical Sleeve surgery soon. I don't know much about the approval process through BCBS but I'm hoping it goes quickly.
