Greetings Fellow DSers.
Although I'm a long time OH member this is my 1st post. I had a revision from Lap-Band earlier in 2012 with Dr Rabkin in SF and after a rough start (not complication-wise but just getting use to the different eating pattern) I can finally say - I LOVE MY DS! I've lost 80+ lbs in a little over 6 months -- woot.
I'm recently semi-retired...my job was mega hours with a lot of stress which was not helping my health - so I figured I'd take some time for myself, get more active, get to know my family & friends again. Eventually I'll look for work BUT in a different industry, maybe go back to school or volunteer somewhere. I'm very fortune to have that option and a loving supportive spouse.
I've read back through many, many of your posts and look forward to getting to know you better! Happy Holidays!
