I am 37 years old, and I do not recall any moment in my life ever being thin. I have a 4 year old son that I want to be here for, so I have decided enough is enough. I am tired of all the diets that do not work. Looking forward to a new wonderful chapter in my life. <------I posted this back in Nov 2010.... As of now, May 2013 I have had my lap band removed and revised to the RNY bypass on May 14, 2013. I did well with my band, but I had a lot of issues with it. I could not swallow, I would vomit most solid protein, and I had terrible weight loss. After multiple fills and unfills, 2 barium swallow, and non stop issues my surgeon & I decided to remove the band. So now begins my new journey.
