Update on my journey... It's been a very long time since I posted

Hello!

I've been offline for awhile and wanted to touch base. Today, I went to a consultation with another Dr., didn't realize it would be such an ordeal to find someone willing to take on a patient that already had a band. I lost faith in my former doc and have have a number issues with my band. I'm scheduled to have it removed August 25, 2017, a little over 8 yrs after having it placed. I've suffered with chronic reflux, heartburn, weight gain (20 lbs) and throat pain for the past 2 years and have finally found someone that will listen.

The plan... have the band and scar tissue removed in August, 6 months later go back and have bypass surgery.

Yep, I'm scared of the unknown and excited at the same time to be pain free.

How are you? Are you still on track to get gastric bypass? My band was removed in April and I will finish my last dietician appt on Tuesday. Hopefully I'll be able to get the gastric bypass soon.

Curious as to how it all went ?
I have had my lap band in since 2011 I initially lost 75 pounds but slowly have gained it all back (every pound) so depressing. My original doc has moved so I have seen another one and will hopefully have my lap band removed and the sleeve done first of year
