Topic: RE: Did you have a weight regain from your lowest weight?
Yup, 15 pounds. I think everyone sees their lowest only for a hot minute. With that said a 20lb weight gain after hitting your LOWEST is "normal" - so says the surgeons.

Topic: RE: revision
from what I've read, Dr. Lautz is one the top guys in the industry, and very experienced with revisions, so I'm not suprised you were referred to him.
Good luck, I'm sure you will do great!

Topic: RE: Did you have a weight regain from your lowest weight?
My lowest was 142, which is when I got out of the hospital after emergency hernia repair. I had been hanging around 145 for a while. That was 1 year ago. My goal was 150, and I'd say for the last 8 months I've been hanging around 155. That is where I've decided I'd like to stay. My little inner voice would like to be at 145, or 150, but I've seen that at 155 my "skinny" clothes fit fine, I'm healthy and since I've been running, I've decided it's all muscle that I gained.
With that said, I was up to 160 on Tuesday morning, thank you holidays and break from running. I will go back to 155, and maybe make a stab at 150, but I will never see 145 (or 142) again. My surgeon does not want me to EVER get below 150, and would prefer the 155.
Also, right around the 2 year mark, without weight gain, my boobs rebounded a little! I went up a cup size, and they perked up a bit!
Your body is still adjusting. Some regain is normal, some of it is some old behaviors creeping in. Be kind to yourself, exercise to release some stress and be mindful of what you eat. YOU CAN DO THIS!!
*hugs*

Congratulations Flower! What great news around the holidays especially!
Topic: Did you have a weight regain from your lowest weight?
I'm stuggling with a regain of 8-9 pounds. I know it was holiday munching and the stress of my upcoming divorce that landed me here.
Did anyone have a regain from their lowest weight after surgery? If so, did you stay at that weight or were you able to get back close to the lowest weight?
Hope you all had a happy holiday season, mine was very stressful to say the least.

Topic: RE: revision
I'm having my revision surgery on Tuesday!
I had a lap band in 07 and it was removed in 08.
So while I can't tell you how it's going to feel I know for sure that our recovery from this revision will be much different from our initial band surgery.
Just curious did Dr. Lautz do your band??
Dr. Robinson (same Brigham/Faulker practice) did mine, he's awesome but for some reason referred me to Dr. Lautz for my revision... I opted to change facilities!!
Not doubting Dr. Lautz by any means - It's just when I called to schedule (back in June 2010 - he was booked solid and his next appointment was January 21st 2011!! )
