Hi, My name is Crystal. I was a member a long time ago; but, I have no clue what my log-in was back then...lol. At my highest weight of 273 lbs. I had a bariatric lap band in 2007 (the reviews on the site helped me make the choice) and by 2011 I had lost down to 120 lbs. By 2012, I had a hernia and slipped band (it was an older style and technique that was no longer used) and then in 2015 I noticed some issues and figured it was slipping again and I started gaining weight. BY 2018 I had another full-on hernia and slippage and had ballooned to 203 lbs in 3 months (cancer) so in Dec 2020 they took it out. I was then given massive amounts of steroids (cancer again) and ballooned to 240 lbs by Jan 2022. So, here I go again...I am looking seriously at Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty
