Not ME

I found BariatricPal on the web.  I liked the layout and how easy it is to get from point A to point B.
 
I had weight loss surgery 3 years ago.  I had a lapband installed and removed and revision done 6 days ago.  I used the same doctor for both, he has done lapband surgeries for about 18 years and Revision Sleeve surgery for 7.  I am currently Post Op 7 days Revision surgery.  I feel good.  A lot to adjust to but knowing the result is worth it.  I lost 12lbs this past week.
 
I got weight loss surgery because I have been over weight since I was 13 and dieted day in and out since.  I was exhausted of thinking about losing weight, setting goals and failing.  I decided while a drastic measure it was the only way.  I have had an extra 60lbs on since 1990.  I figured I was time to finally do something about it in order to be happy.  I had severe knee pain, borderline diabetes, 100/5.6, High Cholesterol 253 and Hypertension 140/80 Blood Pressure.  Because my father has these and has gone out of control I decided do something while you are young enough to enjoy the result and live life.
