Well hello to the story of my life. I was banded Oct 2006. I lost 40lbs and got preggo. Continued to lose during pregnancy. Ended up with healthy baby and down almost 100lbs! Woohoo. Then baby #2 had a slight unfill and bam hallo healthy baby and all 100lbs! Lmao. I just had the sleeve revision and hernia repair May 25,2016. I had mucho swelling after procedure so the first couple of days were probably worse than normal. I am now on my 5th day post surgery. Drinking all liquids with no problem whatsoever. I'm excited and am so ready for soft foods...lol Sent from my XT1565 using the BariatricPal App

I'm good with at least 4 hours a week. I think we should start the week of January 5th. That way it is at the beginning of the week instead of the middle. How about we end it on Feb 15th, that gives us 6 weeks.

I'm in!!! I was down a total of 90lbs, but gained back about 8 over the holidays and with my temp unfill. But good news is no reflux. I am going to go to the dr next month to get filled back up. So I am up for the challenge. I would like to lose at least the 8 I gained back. Lets do it!!!!

Oh and by the way, I am taking my husband on a surprise trip for our birthday to New York 11-20/11-24. I got me a pair of hooker boots.....lol...you know the knee high black boots that i am going to wear with my new dress. First time ever I have had boots that would fit my calves...haha. Anyone ever been to NY or have suggestions of where to visit.

Hey, I'm still here. I'm trying to make an effort to get everyone back.....lol Good News: No more reflux Bad News: He took out 4ccs....lol He said leave it out for a couple of weeks to let things heal or settle down, and then we would start slow with the fills. I have been trying to control my eating. Damn I forgot how hard it was...lol. Oh well, trying to eat as much salad as possible, cause i don't want to gain any weight back. I just bought new clothes size 12..woohoo....lmao. :laugh:

Mom came thru surgery just fine. She had a hernia repair also. She says the liquid diet is killing her.....lol....i remember those days....glad they are over. I went to have a barium swallow done today and it shows that I have reflux....big surprise, i could have told them that. I am going to be scheduled for a endoscopy to see if I too have a hernia. Wouldn't surprise me with all the throwing up i did when I was prego. I am waking up almost every night with reflux...it sucks. I am probably going to go get a total unfill within the next couple of weeks to see how that helps and to have the test done.

okay down 90lbs wooohooo. who would have ever thought. Well I am sitting in the same waiting room that my mom sat in 2 years ago waiting on me to come out of surgery, but this time, I am waiting on her. Yes thats right, She is joining us on our band adventures!! I am so excited for her. She is in recovery room as we speak. Can't wait to see her.

On a lighter note, I am down 88lbs and am now able to walk into a regular dept. store and buy a size 14 jeans...wooohooo. The people in the dressing room must have thought I was crazy when I went to try them on and then screamed when the first pair fit....lol

Threebeauties, yes, i live down here in the Houston area, Thank you so much for your thoughts. I am okay, I was lucky, only lost power for several hours unlike some of my friends who are still without. Things are going slowly around here as far as cleanup, but they are going.

Threebeauties, why are you totally unfilled?

I answered my own question 2 years later. I had a baby boy 4-18-08. Healthy as can be. I was sick for 9 mths, threw up almost everyday, not because of the band, just one of those crazy prego things. Have since lost lots of weight.
