Calling All Revisions!

I had the band in 2004, lost almost 80lbs, but GAINED 120.
DS in 2009, lost 220, but up 10lbs, but that was due to my laziness.
DS is the best thing I ever did and wi**** was an option for everyone!!

I have had two lap bands. The first one slipped and the second one slipped and eroded.

My daughter has had two lap bands and they both ended up slipping.

I am a revision from a stomach stapling procedure that is no longer done.  Horizontal gastroplasty, I think it was called.
