I had Lap Band surgery in March of 2011. I was pretty successful, losing 80 pounds total, which got me down under 200 pounds. However, I was oftentimes sick. No matter how small of an adjustment or fill I had, I swelled, sometimes to the point of being unable to keep down liquids. I attribute this and an inability to eat anything healthy without vomiting to my band slipping by November of 2013. I had it removed at that point and felt like I was "done" with WLS. Fast foward to today, and I am going for my first appointment for possibly RNY in a little over a week. I have gained more weight since my Lap Band was removed than what I weighed pre-op, so now I qualify for the RNY as "morbidly obese". Happy Day. I hope to lose weight, feel better and be around to rock my great-great grandbabies someday.
