Back on the Board after almost 2 years

I joined the board back in 2006, I had lap band surgery in July 2007.  I lost 89 pounds, but have put about 9 back on.  I lost about 84% of my excess weight.  I can't complain at all.  I loved my band, but it doesn't love me. 

I can't remember my login anymore.  I know my ID was mtownbutterfly, but can't remember my password.

I am back now, because my band has got to come out.  I have been having problems for the last 3 months with throwing up everytime I lay down, doesn't matter how much I eat or whether I eat at all.  Dr. Clark has had me do several barium swallows.  These show that my food just doesn't want to flow through at any rate at all.  Plus I just had an upper GI and they said the band placement looks good, but it does show that I have reflux and the starting signs of Barrets disease.  So it's gotta go.

Dr. Clark and his staff are trying to see if they can get my insurance to cover converting to Gastric Bypass, so we'll see.  I hope I can do that, because i really fear gaining all my weight back if I am left on my own.

I have found my original udername, so I am going back to using it instead of PJIndy.  I will now be posting under mtowngirl.
