Well hello old friends!!!

 Hi All! I don't know if anyone remembers me but a lot has happened in the last 6 years! I had my first baby Jan 17, 2009.... A son, Owen. it took us a while to conceive and that was the start of my weight troubles. I was holding steady around 145 for 3+ years and then gained 15 lbs before I got pregnant. Ok 160 not so bad. On the day I gave birth I weighed 210....yikes.... 35 lb fell off immediately and I was around 175.... ok manageable. Well within a few months I gained up to 200 lbs, where I stayed until I got pregnant with my second child, a daughter, Julia was born Feb 17, 2011. I only gained about 20 lbs during this pregnancy because I lost my appetite.... that was awesome. I was 10 lbs under pre-pregnancy weight the day I gave birth. Well soon after the appetite came back with a vengeance and within the last 3 months I am back up to 205 .... I am so frustrated and feel hungry all the time. 

I did have an UGI before I got pregnant with my DD and it did show a dilated pouch and stoma. I guess I am considering a revision... has anyone done it? Did insurance cover? Where you able tog et back on track. I guess I am just looking for support and to say hello to old friends. Hope some of you are still around.

Best wishes to you I hate the regain but it seems alot of us have done it.

Congratulations on your 2 beautiful children! My sister had a lapband after gastric bypass because she gained. All insurance coverage is different but some of her's was covered. She had that a year ago and is liking the ability to get a fill and increase restriction.

Best of luck.
Sue
