Thank you both for replying.

Hello, I had a lap band placed 9/4/2009. I started @ 330 lbs. In 19 months I lost down to 170. I then had several plastic surgeries. Arm lift, breast lift, tummy tuck x 2, thigh lift. My band then slipped approx jan 2012. I developed severe reflux & began to put on the lbs. After several adjustments with no success, I consulted another surgeon. In March 2013 I had the band removed and 5 days ago, May 28, 2013, I had gastric bypass. I have gained up to 254 & will diligently do my best to get back down where I need to be. I suffered a GI bleed with the RNY, but being a nurse myself, I have not been discouraged. I came home yesterday and day by day, plan to become the "new me" all over again. hopefully for good this time. The pics here are before and after lap band, prior to gaining weight back.
