Nervous about Revision looking for your story and feedback!
happyloser13 replied to titan05's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I just had a revision on 2/20/15 and I feel great. My band slipped after about 8 months in, but I was almost at my goal. At my sleeve surgery I was 145 lbs and as of today, I'm 135 lbs. I feel good except for the pureed stage diet. I'm not hungry at all. I'm happy I made this choice and grateful to have a doctor who fought the insurance company since my bmi was normal already. I cannot imagine losing my tool after losing all this weight. Good luck to you. -

Hi all, so today is my six months anniversary and I'm down 67 lbs. My starting weight was 235 lbs and today i weigh 168. I have 3.5 cc in my band and my doctor thinks that i don't need any fill because I'm losing weight and I had some problems when I had 4 cc in my band. I'm very happy with my results and truly recommend this surgery to people who are willing to commit to the rules that come with it. It is not easy but easier than dieting, gaining, living overweight, and not being happy with yourself. I still would like to lose another 30 lbs to reach my goal. Good luck to everyone.

happyloser13 replied to ChristineZ's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have been banded since February 18th. So far down 55 lbs. Wish I could exercise more but so busy that by the time I have the time to exercise, I'm too tired. I started at 235 lbs abd as of today, I'm 180 lbs. -

I gurgle all the time too after drinking and eating. I don't think it has to do with being too tight because I gurgle after just drinking some water on an empty stomach. I was worried too.

So had my first fill today under fluoro and found out i already had 2 cc's in my band. The doctor put in 2 more and i am at 4 cc now. I had to do barium swallow and wondering if this is why i am so bloated and gassy now. Has anyone had this experience? I am on clear liquids today followed by full liquids for a day or two.

You don't have to give up food, you will just have much less of it. -
