Count down

Thank you Nancy!!

Good luck to you with the revision. I have been following your journey to get to the revision, as I believe this is where I am heading. My band worked for me at the beginning but eventually stopped due to many reasons, some of my own fault and others not. I have now gained back alot of my weight and am very unhappy with myself. I just need to pick up the courage to call Dr A's offce, although I will probably have to use a different Dr. anyway, because I do not believe he does revisions. Looking forward to hearing about your continued journey.You will do great.

It just plain stinks that the band doesn't work for everyone - some people are so successful with it - it is such an inexact science - I hope you don't have to go down the revision road but if you do - you'll most likely have to start from scratch just like I did - all the tests and doctors visits - everything all over again!! Just out of curiousity you should call Dr. A and find out if he does do revisions - he has such an awesome reputation. Don't worry about courage - no one cares about you more then you and you have to do what is right for yourself and not worry about judgement of others!

Thanks for the good wishes!

Good luck Tammy! If you need anything let me know since I am right around the corner. Well, sorta. LOL

Thank you Kathy - I really appreciate that!

BTW - You're in my prayers to have the little bundle in your arms soon!!

Thanks! And holy hell where did the time go? Sarah is over a year already???

I know Kathy - She's an amazing little girl with a "fiery" personality! She loves to dance and sing - she actually can sing from A to G of the alaphabet already!! Time sure does fly!!

WOW! A to G already? Smart little girl ya got there.

Dear Tammy, I remember all those feelings and emotions that come while waiting for surgery. They will soon be all behind you and you will have the excitement of seeing the scale change in a downward direction and the wonder of having your clothes get loser and loser.(Do you have any consignment shops nearby?) You will be able to do all the things necessary to get through it all, the emptying of a drain will become second nature to you and you will become proficient in giving yourself the injections, those days will fly by and along with it a new way of eating an incorporating new habits that will help you be successful . Follow your doctors plan as closely as you can, the rules they give us are for a reason. Your new pouch will work for you as long as you use it properly.

Wishing you all the best.
