August 11, 2012....Almost 2 years after my last post.
I had Gastrict Bypass in September 2005 @ 297lbs....almost 7 years ago. My lowest weight was about 160lbs by 2007. I kept the weight off from about 2007-2009. It was probably in 2009, that i started gaining back the weight.
I did and have done all the bad things that have caused my weight to creep up to 226 about a few months ago. I've tried to reign in the bad choices since about June. Sinced then, i've lost about 8 lbs. Yesterday i weighed in @ 218lbs.
I've been looking @ a revision for the past 2-3 years. I am have been going through the entire process for a revision since about January 2012. I've had meetings with nutritionist, my doctor, labs, x-rays, psychologist, etc.
If my insurance approves the revision, my surgeon will basically go in, fold my pouch over, suture, and make it small....back down to it's original size.
I have been going over everything that has brought me to the point where i am right now. I am cognizant of everything that has led me to this point. Whether i go through the revision or not...i am slowly taking steps to change my "bad" habits.
I don't know what tomorrow will bring....but, i'm hoping to slowly recapture my life, in all aspects.
