Hey folks - just wanted to say that I am 8 months post-op band to bypass and hit my 100 pound loss mark!!

I lost 12 pre-op... plus the almost 89 post op put me at 100 :-) lost.

I only ever lost 27 pounds with the CrapBand... so needless to say I am thrilled.

Hang in there if you are in the revision process --- it can happen!!!!

Sherrie great job I sure hope that I will get to my goal. First I have to get approved BCBS Federal. I had a crap band too in 2008, lost 17 lbs gained 14 lbs. In 2009 I got Sleeved and lost 35 lbs and gained back 20 lbs back have horrible Acid Reflux too and have a Haital Hernia. I also have moderate Sleep Apnea, Diabetes II, Hypertension. In 2008 BCBS Federal covered the LB, in 2009 I had to do self pay for the Sleeve. So now I will see if they will cover the GB.

Thanks for sharing! Keep up the great work!!! Blessings to you dear!!!

Congrats. This inspires me to get to my goal. I am only 2 months out and 32lbs down, but am at my halfway mark. I am so glad to be rid of my band, too.
