Restarting my journey



Recommended Posts

I had my lapband in 2010 and was a huge success. But after two years in I went though a real bad trama I. Which leans me to depression and I started to gain. I have gained 110 lbs and had a revision on my band. I'm exited to restart my journey. I found this site in hopes to find good advise and some type of support and motivation. Thank to all and good luck in your journey as well

Hi Lisacaron

Thanks for the warm welcome! The revision was to replace the band back ninnies position because it was slipping due to me traveling. I was going back in fourth to Puerto Rico deal with family issue and the altitude of the plane would make my band slip.

That is the best part of the lap band because you can always get back on track. We all go through crap and it is easy to gain when you are depressed. After all we for the most part as women are emotional eaters. You will get back where you want to be one day at a time.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
