Yesterday, I got banded...again! I had Lap-band once upon a time, but had to have it removed due to complications. Nothing against the band. It was me and my surgeon being greedy and lazy. I got overfilled and my band ended up slipping or popping or something like that. Either way, it had to be removed. I could have gotten it replaced at that time, but my surgeon didn't know how successful he would be so I foolishly opted to go without the band. I say foolishly because I thought that I would be able to keep up my new eating habits and not gain my weight back. Not only did I gain ALL of my weight back, but I also gained an additional 40 or 50 pounds. I ended up weighing 110 pounds more than my lowest Lap-band weight.
After 2 years, lots of sweat and tears, and several phone calls to the insurance company, I was finally approved and able to get the Lap-band again! This time I am determined to have long term success. My band was placed on December 8, 2009. I am inviting you all to join me on this familiar journey to healthy living and a successful weight loss!
