3 year Band Anniversary Today

I'll start on a positive note:

I'm down almost 100 lb.  I was size 26 bottoms, 4 x tops, now 14-16 bottom, L-XL tops.

I lost the first 70 lb with my band, almost 30 with achalasia developing over the last year.  My appointment at UW is Thursday to decide who will remove my band and what else we might be able to do for my motility issues and determine if revision is an option at all.  I've been told it probably isn't, but I still am hopeful.

It is great that you have lost 100 lbs in three years. You are looking great.  

Is is sad that you have had to do it going thru this.  Glad to hear they are finally getting around to taken it out.

Good luck with your consult appointment...fingers crossed for good news! 

 

You will find a new door. Congrats on where you've been and here's to a positive future. Hugs!

I hope for good news on Thursday and that you will recover your health once the band is removed.

 

I remember so clearly my 1 year surgiversary post! :-(

I hope the damage is not permanent like Nicci's. I always wonder just how many bandsters end up with permanent damage of one form or another. So sad that something that so many people have done "for their health" has been the very thing that has damaged their health. :-(
