I had not added my story because I don't feel there is much to tell. I have been overweight pretty much my whole life most of which I believe is due to emotional eating. I had my lap-band surgery on January 25, 2006. I am still struggling every day. I still fight with emotional eating and the band has not had much luck in stopping me. I have lost about 36lbs to date and I wish I would have lost more by now. My life is very stressful. I am a working mother of a three year old and have a rocky marriage. My husband and I own our own business(my husband runs it, I just sign the papers). I am employed at a small town hospital in which I love to work. My goal for this next year is to refocus on eating healthier and continue down this road to obesity freedom.
02/02/2012 Well here I am six years after being banded and I am heavier than I was before surgery. My band has prolapsed and I've been told my stomach isn't emptying correctly. So what now? I'm heading back to the doctor on Monday to discuss my options. My hope is that insurance will cover for the band to be removed since there is actually something wrong and pay for a revision. I'm thinking I would like to seek having the sleeve. I've read a lot of positive about it but of course I'm a little concerned that since I failed the band, that I'll fail that too. I think I'll just let the good Lord lead me to the right decisions.
