Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kirstyn and I am new to BariatricTV and the forums. I am a post-op and a pre-op all in one.
I have had a lap-band since November 6, 2002 and managed to lose 112 pounds and maintain that weight loss for about 8 years and through a pregnancy and then out of the blue (in about a year and a half).... wa-wa-waaaah.... all but 30 of those 112 pounds came back. So now I am going through the process of having a revision done to either the Sleeve or RNY through Kaiser Permanente in SoCal. (I'm not sure which procedure I will have yet as I have not yet met with a surgeon to discuss this.)
In the last week, I have managed to watch just about every episode of BTV (Hi Lynnda and Toni!!) and have fallen in love with the show.
I have no doubt that I will be asking lots of questions and I look forward to getting to know everyone!!
Kirstyn

Thanks everyone for the welcome! I will definitely be asking many questions as I have appointments, get through my classes with Kaiser and meet with the surgeon!
Thanks again!
