Band to bypass approved

[Doc'sWife 56]

Hey all!

I was banded Dec 2010 and lost 160lb (350-190) making it to my goal weight ( I'm 6'1.5"). Had to have my band removed in Feb of 2015 and the surgeon who took it out said he wouldn't qualify me for a sleeve because he didn't think I needed it. Well a year and a lot of stressors later I gain almost 79lbs back and my new surgeon has approved me for a bypass due to reflux and my shown propensity to regain the weight. I have an upper GI (May 6th) and a sleep study (April 23) to do and I will know my surgery date! I am so nervous but finally ready to have something permanent to help me with the life I deserve for me and my family. Can't wait to share my continued journey with you all and read about your journey in the process

being nosy....why did you have your band removed?

I had a slip from my pregnancy that didn't fully resolve itself on its own. I ended up with horrible heartburn and pain everything I ate or drank something
