How things have changed....
May 24, 2011
I was one of the first big weight droppers on this site in the late 90's, early 2000's.. then surgery was more and more popular and I just fizzed away quietly after talking and helping over 100 people through their surgeries. I had my angels and I was an angel to many. I don't know why I logged off for good. I think I just felt my job was done. I don't know.Here I am almost 12 years after my surgery. I am looking into getting a revision. I was banded in 1999. It worked. I didn't. I just didnt change my life enough. My hip was falling a part, then I got hurt and broke my foot and I could never get my fitness going. I just really screwed myself. I had a pretty tramatic thing happen to me and then for the past 3/4 years lived in a cloud of depression. I didn't gorge on food, I just didn't make wise choices.
Now what... where do I go from here. I don't want people to know that I've failed. I was 550 when I was operated. I made it to 280. Stayed there for almost 2-3 years and now.. I am 390 and scared shitless.
This site has changed so much that I don't even know what to do to get a decent profile together.
Aetna forces you to do three months of weight management. so mine kicks in across the summer. I already had my upper GI and chest xray this week. So here we go.
