Hi, my name is Tish Menier, I had lap band surgery in March 2007. I know there have been some real success stories for some, but for me it was a total disaster. I was always tight, food getting stuck, constant esophagitis, etc. I am miserable. I never could eat any foods that are good and healthy for you. I would turn to easy to eat foods, like crunchy chips and things. It was just easier. After a couple of years of failed back surgery and hiccuups with my health, I'm the largest I have ever been and totally at my wits end. I have finally found my doctor who is willing to take my lap band out for me and convert me over to RNY. My surgery is scheduled for July 18, 2016 and I couldn't be happier. I'm ready to be band free and on my way to a healthier me.
