Here again?! Need advice!

[Sherra O. 2]

Banded in March 2001 at 272; lost 30# in the first month on an all liquid diet and took another 11 months to lose another almost 40# and got down to about 205.

All time highest weight was in 2005 - highest recorded was 332

Band removed in Sept 2011; sleeved December 2011 at 308.

Hit goal of 158 in February 2013

Current weight around 140-142.

That is a loss of over 160# - about 190 from my lifetime high. unbelievable, even to me!!!!

Outstanding!!! I hope my revision is as successful!!

Thanks. I lost 133 the first 12 months. It took me 14 months to lose 150# and get to my goal of 158. That goal put me at around a size 10 non stretch pants/medium top. (although with size variation I also wore some 8s).

Now I wear more like a size 6 pants (although i own some 4s) but because of my boobs I still take a medium in most tops - small if they are stretchy or generously sized.

I was banded in January 2007, I loved the band in the beginning, but after losing a lot of weight needed more fills, anyhow, long story short I never could find the sweet spot after 23 fills, lost all restriction and gained about 70 lbs back. Finally converted to sleeve on November 20, 2013.

Band weight 248

Gastric sleeve weight 214

Today's weight 165

Goal weight 145

Happy? Heck yes I'm happy. Best decision ever.
