Happy WLS Anniversary!

To all those who share this date with me, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Down 120 lbs since the revision to the Gastric Bypass, and 147 since my VBG in 2003. Hope you all have had a wonderful and successful year like I have!

Congratulations on your success!

please explain -- you have had two surgeries - I am so confused. Crystal

Sorry to confuse you. Back in February of 2003, I had a Vertical Banded Gastroplasty. During that time, I weighed 334 lbs. I had numerous complications, and in the end the staple line ruptured. I had lost 90 lbs and my weight was climbing up again. I went back to see my surgeon and he did a revision to the Gastric Bypass. I weighed 307 when I had the revision done. So since the initial VBG, I have lost 147 lbs. Since the revision to the GB, I have lost 120 bls.
