Thinking about Band to Sleeve Revision. I'd love your advice.
Tawnytime replied to rklapband's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
nI like hearing stories about people like yourself who are successful with the revision. Would you mind sharing what you did that was successful to your "almost" reaching your goal. I'm only 4 months out and worried about failing. I too worried about failing, my best advice to you is follow the rules, yes you will have slips but that's okay, that's life, just get back on track and follow the rules! Eat your Protein first, this is a big key to success! If you do over eat at a meal, make the next meal a small one, measure your food if you have to to help avoid over eating. Exercise, at least walk doe 30 min a day, you will be surprised how much this will help. It's not a race, it's a journey so take it a day at a time, someone else may lose faster but that's okay, this is your journey and if you donwhatbyour supposed to do it will work! -

Hello, I had a revision on 11/20/2013, I had the same issues with the band, never could get restriction but yet food was stuck constantly. The revision is the best thing ever for me! It does everything the band was supposed to do. I have never had anything get stuck, I can eat anything but just small amounts. I truly love it and finally enjoying life as a fit and healthy person. I'm about 7 lbs away from my personal goal weight, but according to my doctor I am a total success and hit his goal weight within 11 months of having the surgery. Good luck to you on what ever path you choose. -

No regrets - the sleeve does everything that the band was supposed to do.

Start 175 Today's weight 173 Goal 160 Lbs lost 2 Had a semi good week. I focussed on getting the junk out of my diet and that was accomplished. This week will focus on upping my water and activity to see if I can get the scale to budge a little faster.
