I love my band group...but...
Guernica, I agree with your post. I too started out wanting to have a different surgery,but because of medical issues I was only able to have band surgery. I have only lost 45 lbs since surgery two years ago. But I am so much healthier than I was then. I am going to check on revision also. I know I would not have gotten this far without the band, but I am not finished with my journey yet. I do not think I can lose much more without a different surgery.
I am glad to see you feeling better and back active on the board.

oh hun, this is fantastic news!!! That seriously could open up the next phase for you. How exciting. Let me know if they will approve your revision. God I hope so! I know how hard you have fought this weight. And I know how much you would love to lose even a fraction of the rest. Could you imagine being down another hundred. What a dream come true!

I am doing great. Little Zoey is due Sept 22. She is really active now days. Just in the last couple of weeks she started kicking and having fun In there. She seems very responsive to what ever I'm eating no matter what it is and really responds to music. Maybe she loves it, maybe she's a critic?.
I've gained a few lbs. so far it's like 14? I'm not sure. But. Feel as if all of it is water retention. Everyone os flabbergasted that I'm 7 months pregnant. In most clothes I don't look it and and really nly bought a few maternity things for work. My hubby keeps reminding me that I can't compare my body to the 125lb twigs with their beautupiful bumps. I'm still a plus size... But even this far along, I'm stil 60 lbs less than I was a few years back. Phew!
I've still got all my fluid too. It's about 8.5cc's. It's a daily struggle but I'm staying somewhat in control.
