Great job! You look amazing.

Hello everyone! Here is my WLS story...I got banded on 8/2014 SW:369, I am now almost 3 years out and weigh 335lbs. Clearly I failed my lap-band. I try not to be hard on myself but its almost impossible not to be. Post-op I had 2 pregnancies (1 of which was a demise) So needless to say my weight was up and down, at my lowest I went down to 312lbs. I recently had a baby boy 12/2016 highest prepartum weight was 345lbs, I came down to 335lbs postpartum, had a fill on 5/3/2017- initially I went down 6lbs and now I'm back up! I am not a victim here..I know my eating habits play a major role. There are days where I am your regular Jillian Michaels and others where I'm eating like a 15 y/o boy going through a serious growth spurt. Nonetheless, I feel defeated. I am scheduled to have another fill on 6/5/2017, but called my surgeon and asked for a VSG consult instead. I am lost, confused..torn all of the above. Part of me feels like I just need to get back on track and remain consistent..the other part of me feels the band is just not enough for me and the amount of weight I need to lose. Help! I could really use some advice. Thank you in advance!

Thank you all for sharing your stories with me, I felt so alone and now not so much. I also felt like a failure but now I realize failing only occurs when you stop trying. I got my approval for revision to VSG today, surgery is scheduled for 7/17/2017!!! I wish you all luck with your planned revisions and journey <3

Thank you guys for your response/advice. I honestly feel I should of had VSG from the jump. You live and you learn! I will start my VSG journey <3
