1 year ago i was 160+kg now I’m 80kg

As the tittle says a year ago I was over 160kg, today I weighed myself and am now down to 80kg. I can thank my gastric sleeve for allowing me to be able to reach that weight and feel that I can maintain it. A little back story on me before I get any comments about taking the easy way out. I’ve been overweight most of my life and never have been able to keep the weight off. I had the drive and discipline to lose this much weight once before and kept it off for 3 years, I just found that I could not keep it off and it was slowly slipping back on, I was gaining about 10kg a year despite being really disciplined. So after a long thought out decision I decided to get the lap band done. I did everything right and by the book, I got my weight back down from about 150kg to 110kg before one night after work I had pain in my stomach. I hadn’t eaten all day because I had been having pain, it got to the point where i could barely breathe so I went to the hospital. I found out after some scans that my band had gotten caught over my intestine (I think it was intestine) after it had slipped. So I was told that they wanted to take it out I was in that much pain I was more than happy for them to do that. They rang my surgeon and told him, he told them not to take it out and that he would do it the next day. After getting me to a point where I was manageable and taking the fluid out to relieve the part that was caught they let me go home. I rang my surgeon the next day only to be told that because I no longer had private health insurance he wouldn’t take my band out. So I went back to hospital to see if they would take it out and they told me that because I’d been discharged and removing it was no longer urgent as they resolve my pain another way, they would not remove it without me going on the waiting list, So that began a period of 5 years where the band would no longer work and I was waiting to get it removed. 2 years ago I had i the band removed and then waited for the sleeve to be done.

I was sleeved November 23 last year and did everything by the book (and still do) and could not be happier with my body. Yes it sucks that I’ve had to give up certain things, but I am more than happy to keep doing what I’m doing.

Also I didn’t know how to post a picture so I’ve included a link, if someone wants to explain it I’ll fix it.

TLDR; had sleeve surgery after years of issues, lost 80kg.zedicuszulzoran
