I had a my Lap Band revision on Tuesday Aug. 3, 2010. Before that I had my 1st Lap Band in Aug.2006. With my 1st Band I weighed 278lbs the day of surgery. My lowest weight with my 1st Band was 194lbs. For awhile I suffered from reflux, nausea, vomiting and loss of sleep due to the reflux. My doctor who is so wonderful in all aspects advised that I stop eating atleast 3hrs. before bedtime and what food would be best. I did my best, and it helped somewhat. Being that the problem wasn't totally resolved she wanted to loosen my Band alittle bit. I was a little worried about that because that only meant I was going to be able to consume more food. We finally agreed to loosen. As a result I gained a few pounds. I tried to control my eating. But the pounds start coming on. Next thing i knew I was feeling VERY VERY BLOATED, FAT, and TIRED. I could not stand my own body anymore.
On Aug. 3, 2010 was my revision. I went into surgery weighing 238lbs. It turns out that I had hernia the size of my doctors fist. Imagime that!!!!
Aug. 9th I went to my 1st follow up appointment. Everything seems to be going well. I LOST 17LBS. in 6 days!!!!! WOO HOO... I'm so excited to be able to start over again. Thanks to the man above and my WONDERFUL doctor.
