I am about 9 1/2 years post op, I really never got to my goal of 150# but was at 170 and very happy, I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago and have now gained to 200 but I am really worried I am considering a revision but not sure yet, I have tried for the past 3-4 years to get the weight off but no success. I understand there is a fairly un evasive procedure to repair, just kinda ashamed again I am at this point. I feel your pain.
What type of surgery did you have? I had a RNY in 2001, and just had a lap band in 2007. The 2001 surgery was unsuccessful, but appears to have been done wrong. I've had great success with the lap band - lost over 200 lbs. Started at 391lbs in a 34W pants and am hovering around 190 in a size 12 jeans now. Had a lower body lift in Sept and planning to have a breast lift and brachioplasty (arms) in March.
