glad the surgery went well for you.  wishing you a speedy recovery and great results! 

Got home from the TT yesterday.  I really have been kinda out of it since then up until this evening and I 'm finally a little more awake.  Still hard to see the outcome because of the swelling but it looks flat.

I'll keep you updated

Terry

congrats!!!
you're in for the journey of a lifetime!!!

My surgery is in 9 days VSG. And thats not my first goal but its definitely a goal...Congrats on doing so well..

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.
