    Hi Revisers!

    Hello! I am in the ins approval waiting period to get my revision from the band to bypass. I got my band in 2009 and after years of trying to find my "sweet spot" and basically becoming bulimic when my band was filled I knew it was time for a change. I was approved for the surgery in 2012 and found out I was pregnant about a month later! My son is now almost a year (tear) and I'm gearing up for this new change. I'm looking forward to being able to eat the foods that are good and NOT throwing them up and opting for "slider" foods. I've recently become a single mom, my ex was abusive-physically, emotional, mental. I feel like this is my new lease on life for me and my son. I'm hoping to find out if I'm approved this week and scheduling surgery for the 1 or 2nd week of July! Nice to meet you all! ~Jules

    Hi Revisers!

    Thanks for the advice! I share custody with his dad so he may go over there for a few extra days. I live in Gilbert now but spent most of my life in Scottsdale/Phoenix. I'm wondering if my doc will take my port out. I hate this thing and it's still tender if I ever hit it on anything. I'm just ready to put the whole band experience behind me. My current weight is 260 and I am 5'1. My lowest I got to was 186 and I was so happy there-barfing after every meal but happy nonetheless. I talked to my doc would said 130 would be a good goal to have. I'm familiar with eating small potions but I need to STAY AWAY FROM SWEETS!!!! I'm sure I will be a dumper so I'm going to just start saying I'm allergic to sugar so people stop offering me it. I am scared to dump so I'm pretty sure I will stay away from it. I love the website theworldaccordingtoeggface.com-tons of amazing recipes, all RNY safe! How are you doing with the RNY?

    Hi Revisers!

    Miri! Thanks for responding!! I'm trying to build my support system and some people just DO NOT understand what I'm talking about when I explain how having the band was. Where are you located? I'm in AZ! I hope to find out this week if my ins approved me or not. I'm worried about recovery. Being a single mom, I have no one to help carry my son and he doesn't walk yet. I'm not sure how I will get him in and out of the car, in the bath, in his crib and out. Advice is welcomed and needed!!
  4. You seriously are such an inspiration to me! I look at your pics all the time! I'd love to chat sometime...let me know!
