WE ARE PUT ON THIS EARTH NOT TO SEE THROUGH EACH OTHER...BUT TO SEE EACH OTHER THROUGH
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one
hand, mudslide in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and
screaming ! HOT DAMN.....WHAT A RIDE!!
BECOME THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE

You should be so very proud of yourself! I had lots of complications with the TT, infection, MRSA, etc., so you can't go by my experience. It was an outpatient surgery, but I ended up hospitalized 2x and had a wound vac for 6 weeks. Good luck to you and keep up the good work; it's worth it! 
Again, congratulations it is so nice to hear from someone 6 years post op because I am sooo worried about gaining!
Banded 10 years & maintaining my weight loss!! Any questions, message me.
Yesterday was my 6 year anniversary of my Lap RNY with Dr. Robert Bell. To say I made the right decision 6 years ago, is an understatement! It has been difficult at times, but it was the best decision I ever made. I initially lost approximately 85 lbs and have kept all but 6-8 lbs. off. I had skin removal surgery 3 years (TT), and would love to have more plastic work done, but it's very expensive. All in all, I'm happy
! If you are considering this or any other type of WLS, please let me urge you to do it ...you won't be sorry! Having a "normal" life is awesome .xo

Tammy,
Reading your post has motivated me to look into a revision from lap band to bypass. This band worked for me initially but 5 years after the fact, am still having significant issues with it. Time to do some research and make a call.
Thanks for the kick in the tush I needed.
