Having a revision

Well since everyone is doing so great and noone posts here anymore, I thought I would come and share some good/bad news.  I am having a revision.  After surgery I never met my goal weight and after about 2 years started slowly gaining some back after 4 years I had a huge weight gain and just found out I have a huge hiatal hernia.  I am going to have a revision and have it all repaired at  the same time.  I have gained every ounce back that I had lost and after 6 years have decided it's time to do this.  I am not the happy person I was when I had lost the weight and I have experienced so much in the way of prejudice and I am just ready to be who I was 4- 5 years ago.  So my date is October 18 and it just can't come soon enough. 

Good luck to you on your journey...Funny the things you learn after..what I learned is that yes in the first year- 18months you lose,  I followed the diet at first and thought Im losing even when I "cheat" so gradually the weight loss slows down,  next thing you know 20-30 pounds you thought were lost seemed to have found their way home (on me).. this spring I did the 5 day pouch test and lost all the weight that found me and a litle  more, unlike you I never reached my goal weight but continue to work on it every day..  I totally get the predjudice thing too...sorry I rambled on..  Remember dont let other people get  you down..sometimes easier said than done..I usually check here about once a month..I will watch for posts see how you are doing

Thanks for the reply.  I have had to change my surgery date once again.  Now I am scheduled for October 25 at 12:00 pm.  I have stopped drinking soda and really fighting a lot of water retention.  I am now on to combatting those damn sugars before surgery.  I figure I better stop the bad habits now since I know what I am in for later.  I will post again soon.  Have a great week.

 Shelly I know this is late.  I do hope everything went well with you surgery.  God bless and please keep updating!   Hugs. 

Hi Shelley. How are you doing? I hope your revision went well.

I haven't been here at all in so long and wanted to check in with my Junebug friends.
