I am going to guess you did not do well with reading comprehension in school.
Just to show everyone how foolish you are, I will entertain your ridiculous discovery with a retort. My Twitter account is under My Bariatric Life which I have been using since 2011. That is clearly indicated on that profile.
The old account that you link to was established in 2009 and that is clearly indicated on that profile. The photograph of me is also from 2009 when I was a size 14. The two dogs with me are long since dead, as are my parents who took that photo of me.
I did not realize it was kiddie hour at the pool here. And I won't entertain anymore of your childish rants. You clearly have a problem, perhaps envy, perhaps anger, or both.
I would post a recent pic of myself but I don't need to substantiate myself to you. Now go away. You bother me, kid.
I don't think I am the one who may be making up stories. Did you forget you have twitter followers?

Hello,
I am in the same boat. My husband works for ATT. I had lap band done 3 times. Once to put in, 2nd because of a slip, and 3rd because of the port tube having a leak. Each time was a problem which I was too stupid to never take the dang thing out thinking ok this time it will work... Anyway I went to the Nicholson Clinic today and asked what should I do bypass or sleeve. He suggested to go for the bypass. I have manipulated my band so much I know how to work getting food down and my stoma is a little stretched. Not a big deal. But still. He also said that If I do this surgery. I will have to more than likely have two surgeries. One to remove it and let it heal and then come back because i prob have so much scar tissue it will be too difficult to do the surgery and a BIG risk. SO I am upset. Cash pay out of pocket is $18K and for the Sleeve is $10K in Dallas for Band removal and either surgery.Let me know how it goes for you. I am going to have to finance it all. If I can get a zero intrest that is the way to go. I can afford 6 years at 300 a month.
Hey all,
I had RNY 10 years ago and was pretty close to my goal. Life turned me upside down for a while and I am ashamed to admit I have gained back every pound. I am sick over it and just beginning to come to terms with trying to get it back off. Have any of you gotten a revision post RNY because of weight regain that wasn't surgical failure? What are your experiences? I am soo embarrassed to go to the doctor. Ughhh...
Thanks guys! Can't wait to hear your stories
Thank you I am in good health. Still have some issues to handle but none that anyone holding weight doesn't. The cervical issue is under control thanks so much.
I just really wanted a person that seeks a revision to know if they want to lose the weight bad enough they can beat the stats of a revision!
I think you have indeed given people hope.
Hello,
I certainly hope that you are able to get your revision. Do you have any comorbidities that may help you gain evidence for the revision?

What a very scary and dire situation you were in. Honestly, my heart is virtually pounding reading your story. I agree with Laura in Texas, you are to be commended for not giving up. I hope that you are in good health nowadays.
You said you do not want congratulations, but you deserve them. Congrats on taking the steps necessary to save your life. Keep working hard! People need to learn from you and take responsibility for their choices.
I hope your cervical issues are taken care of. My mom is battling cervical cancer right now.

I had a wound infection and took a round of antibiotics. I got some fluid behind my liver (was due to surgery but could of been any surgery) which they drained. Other than that I have only faced the eating issues of adjusting. Losing weight has exposed a hernia that was hidden by fat that will be fixed at some point.
