Back in 2012 I made the decision to get Lap Band Surgery; let me say this though; it was for ALL the wrong reasons!!! I had been working out faithfully and lost 40lbs on my own until one day while riding my motorcycle and I got cut off and hit ending up in the trauma unit. I lost mobility of my left arm (temporarily), couldn't work out and depression sat in and I gained it all back. So I need an "easy fix" that turned out to be not so easy!!!

After 9 1/2 years - Today; May 4, 2021 I am sitting here bandaged up, in pain from Band Removal and rethinking EVERYTHING!

Now at 39y/o I sit at my heaviest weight in my life. I only managed to lose a total of 30lbs before complications began and I have since regained all that weight back, PLUS an additional 55lbs

Now I have the ultimate decision to make; Leave it alone; or have Revision Surgery - and If I take that route; which one do I choose - VSG or RYGB. This time for the right reasons and familiar with the journey; and most importantly, I KNOW it's NOT easy!

May 19th, 2021 I have my follow-up for my band removal and to discuss my options...looking for advice based on YOU ALL'S experience!!!
