Revision--DENIED!! What do I do now?? - Ok, so its not like I'm surprised.  I knew there was a high likelihood that I would initially be denied for revision.  The plan was to at least get the band removed (the Dr. was...

FRUSTRATED!!! - Okay so I'm in the process of getting prepared to submit to insurance for a revision.  I have been working on this since November.  I had a consult with my surgeon, who explaine...

3 Yr Bandiversary... - I don't celebrate anymore.  Looking at the scale there IS nothing to celebrate!  The band was the wrong decision for me. One thing I am celebrating:  I am in the process of doin...

Why Band to Sleeve? - I don't understand this. What is the advantage of the sleeve over the band besides not having to get fills?  To my knowledge the sleeve does not create malabsorbtion, so isn't i...

Lap Band to....??? - I am in the process of getting the ball rolling to get a revision from the Lap Band to another surgery.  I'm not sure what this surgery should be....I know its not going to be the ...

A Revelation?! - Okay been a looong time since I posted.  No good news.  I weight 319 and I can't get the weight off.  I had somewhat of a revelation today...the Lap Band is just not for me.  This ...

How Common is Lap Band Failure???? - I was banded in January 2010 and I weighed in at 328lbs on surgery day.  The lowest weight I got to with the band was 288 and now I am am about 316. Aside from a flipped port in ...

Starting Over...Giving this Band One More Chance - OK its 19 days before my first bandiversary and I am weighing in at 300lbs.  This is some BULL! On my surgery day I weighed 328lbs, so there is only a 28lb difference between how m...

Updates, Nothing New - Nothing to tell. Haven't updated in awhile.  Started off the month with a new determination to get this weight off...but then I got my gym membership involuntarily terminated due t...

Scale Fix, New Goal - Okay so the scale is finally fixed.  Sundays are my official weigh-in day, so today I weigh in at 295.6 lbs.  I just got a fill about a week and a half ago.  I had only gained 1 lb...

Scale's Broke - I have not started neglecting my workouts.  I took a water aerobics class this week. Whew! What a workout! but it was so fun!  I have not gone back to get my fill yet (going on Thu...

Brief Update - So I went in to get a fill today.  I didn't get it.  In fact, I got the opposite: a complete unfill of everything in my band.  Turns out I was over filled and now the lower part of...

9/26/10 - Weigh in 290..nothing spectacular, but I'll take it.  Fill this week Hooray?!

Weigh In Day - Ok so Sunday is my official weigh in day.  Last week I weighed 296, today I weigh 291. Its good to know my hard work and dedication is paying off, despite my struggle to reprogram ...

Renewed Commitment - So it has been awhile and as you see how my blogging has declined, so has my commitment to this band....until now.  I have been out of the gym for a long while.  Working in the day...

Been Awhile... - Hey all sorry its been so long but I have been busy....no, not losing weight, not exercising, but WORKING!  I have a full-time job now and it is difficult as hell to get some time ...

Belated Update - So anyways, finally over the plateau.  I had to take 2 weeks off from the gym because I was sick (nasty sinus cold).  Anyways thats exactly what I needed to get that scale moving a...

Weightloss? - Okay, so I got down to 289 earlier this week.  I weighed that briefly yesterday too, so I GUESS that something...but I am not sure if that is real weight loss.  The reason I am uns...

Update....sorry so late - Okay, been really bad about updating last month, mainly cuz there is nothing to tell.  I worked my ass off last month in the gym...to no avail.  I lost maybe 3lbs last month, and y...

Stalled (again!) - So no weight loss to report this time.  Not too worried since this happened last month too.  I have worked out 5 days this week and I am proud of myself for that.  I know my hard w...

Goal 1 Achieved (and Surpassed) - Okay so quick update.  I passed my first goal of getting to 299 exactly 2 months after surgery.  That was a total weighloss of about 30lbs.  Pretty good!  Since I got over my stall...

Not Really Weigh In Day, But Updating Anyways - Well its weigh in day (not 10 days since last weigh in but close enough in my book!).  The plateau is broken.  I have lost a whopping 6 lbs this week!  I can't believe it!! I'm onl...
