Wow 2 yrs ago I had my original Laproscopic RNY surgery, Lost 139 lbs over 13 months, then stopped cold in my tracks. the next 8 months I managed to gain 15 lbs back !

In May this year I was fortunate, I had a wonderful caring Dr do a revision surgery , Taking my common channel shorter and allowing me to continue my journey ...

I look back and see how many friends , family members and even strangers have encouraged me. I am grateful for my local and online support groups who share their wisdom ,concerns, knowledge daily with me.

So today I stand on the scale and can tell you I am down 175 lbs from mt highest weight. Still have 80? to go - But I am going to make it . with all your help !! Thank You for being here for me and others .

Good for you. Dr S. is great. I applaud you for not giving up. My insurance company is forcing me back to Fang since Dr. S. is out of my insurance network. I was even going to self pay the surgeons portion of the bill with Dr. S., but no, insurance wants in network Doctor.

I am a little tired of all of this. I see my PCP Wednesday to see if he can do anything for me before I see my 3rd Bariactric Doctor.

I am also considering the DS instead of Lap Band. When I first started this I was more concerned about the easiest surgery not so much life after the surgery. Frankly, I would have and may still get the Band just to get things rolling again.

I watch all of you guys losing weight and getting healthy and I am still waiting...Plus my hip is killing me.....

Thanks for the little vent and Congradulations on your revision. You are always full of great advice..
