devotion 41 Posted September 11, 2021 So excited for you guys! I would love to hear more about you and your journey. I am 49, live in Austin and have struggled with weight my whole life. My surgery is actually a revision from the lap band to gastric bypass. I've spent the last three months researching like crazy and feel really great about this life changing decision!Sent from my SM-G981U using BariatricPal mobile app 7 3 2 NewKindaMe, LISS011, EmDee02 and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerrik54304 35 Posted September 11, 2021 I am 46, live in WI. I also originally had the lapband and actually lost a lot of weight. I was down to 135 at one point. I had to have it removed almost 3 years ago due to complications and have almost gained all of my weight back. I will say, having it removed felt really great after having it for over 10 years. 4 EmDee02, LISS011, devotion and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes me sad to see that drs are still putting them in patients in some parts of the country. You can’t find any dr around here who will do it. I think it gives people a false sense of safety because it is less evasive, but that is not necessarily true. Not to mention the quality of life. Anyway, on to better things! We will both be successful. 🙂 4 JenKS84, james2021, devotion and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MzMeekaz 13 Posted September 11, 2021 Hi guys!! I’m Tamika 37 living in DMV area. I am having the gastric sleeve surgery. I’ve also struggled majority of my life with weight and have lost some over the years but every regain seems to double the loss. I have had thoughts of doing this surgery for a while but honestly shied away because the lap band was mostly the only option at the time but I didn’t want to take the risk. Once I learned of the sleeve I started researching it and finally taking The steps to start the process. I have been working really hard to live a healthier lifestyle but progress always seems little to none so I’m hopeful this tool will help me to finally achieve my goals. 6 james2021, devotion, EmDee02 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your story sounds very familiar. My dr. has recommended gastric bypass for me since I struggle so much with acid reflux. I am excited to get back on track and feel healthy. 4 LISS011, james2021, toakes0852 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breanne (w 2 pups) 11 Posted September 14, 2021 I’m getting the bypass on Oct 6. I’m so excited, but nervous about the physical recovery. I have a physical job and want to be safe, yet be able to go back to work. 3 EmDee02, kerrik54304 and LISS011 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
