Was banded in May of 2011, I lost a total of 10LBS yep that was it, never been happy with it. Visited my Doctor recently who suggested that I go for the Gastric Bypass and have the band removed. After speaking with him I decided to do some research and I found his site and I really like it, real people going through the same things as me. I really enjoy reading what everyone has to say and it has helped me make my decision to go for the Gastric Bypass. I'm at the beginning stages of approval, but thankfully my insurance doesn't really require much for me to have the revision. I'm glad that I found this site and I'm excited to follow everyone's success. I don't have a surgery date yet, but it shouldn't be to long.

Oh Kaye21 I'm sorry, I'm glad that it's still moving forward though. I see my family doctor this week on Thursday 18th and then I see the surgeon on July 2nd to discuss what will happen next. Thanks for the update...Keep me posted!

Veronda, I'm very happy that things are going well for you! I'm more confident now that having the revision is the right choice, my weight has always been an issue and continues to. I'm getting more excited about having the gastric bypass. I meet with my doctor again next week. My insurance only requires a few things to be approved. I hope you will keep me posted on your journey.

Inn, That makes me feel better knowing that you don't have any regrets! I'm starting to get excited about doing this, I wish I had gone with the gastric bypass in the beginning Good luck Kaye21 keep us posted on your progress and how you do after surgery
