3 month milestone, 3 years of weight regain GONE!

Revision on 05/08/13

Today I weigh 206.6 lbs.  3 years ago today I weighted 206. 6 lbs.  Three months ago I had revision WLS, from Sleeve Gastrectomy to full DS.  I've lost 3 years of weight gain in 3 months!  This is the best feeling :-)  If you look at my health tracker, you'll see I was also about this weight in the summer of 2011.  That was during the five month period that my daughter was dying in the ICU.  She was 11 at the time, and it was pretty rough.  I lost about 20 lbs during that time.  I jokingly called it the "PICU" diet.  (Pediatric ICU) I wouldn't recommend losing weight THAT way, but I highly recommend THIS way.  

Here's a link to a FB blog I keep about her story.  I don't write there as much as I used to, because she's pretty stable right now, and we're just "living our lives", which is kind of boring, but at one time she had tens of thousands of people following her story.  The word "miracle" doesn't even begin to describe the fact that she's still with us. https://www.facebook.com/addiethepinkninja

Congratulations and thank you so much for posting this today!  I have my revision from the sleeve to the full DS on Monday and i'm nervously excited.  I have been on Liquids since sunday and just trying to rush through this week and get to my surgery! I love seeing these positive updates.

Congratulations Tonya!

Lap-Band June 14, 2001. Dr. Rumbaut, Monterrey, Mexico.
Lap-Band removed after 7 years and converted to Sleeve Gastrectomy on July 7, 2008 by Dr. Roslin.  I've had three happy healthy Lap-Band babies.... and one VSG baby.  5 years out from revision to VSG.  Gained 55 pounds in past 5 months, now considering DS. :(
