Introducing myself



Recommended Posts

Hello...my name is Becky and I am coming out of lurkerdom to introduce myself.

My long story in short form: banded in Oct 2010 and lost 75 lbs thru May 2012 when I had a horrible food poisoning experience that caused my band to slip. Had emergency surgery and they had to remove my band. Hindsight, the band was not a good longterm tool for me, constant sinus/allergy issues meant fill/unfill more than normal.

I am healed, both physically and mentally now and am scheduled for sleeve surgery on May 31...exactly one year after my emergency surgery.

Howdy everyone!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
