Congratulations!

So happy!

I hand my band to RNY on December 28 as you know...the first 3 weeks was tough because my revision was all in one and the band had done more damage...erosion.etc...I now feel great...no acid reflux ,no pain and no port site issues,no dumping.I feel great.I am losing slowly but steadily.I am ok with all foods.No problems.I actually feel really good.I need to get in the exercise and I struggle with getting my water intake but I just feel great.Overall....all the hoops and steps to finally get this revision is proving to be definitely worth it....get it done...you will feel so much better!!!!!!

Very slow but you lose.

The pain is crazy.The incisions areas all hurt.My insides hurts.I went to a supermarket in my neighborhood that is never crowded so that I could walk.BAD IDEA....in one of the aisles I was bent over in pain....thank goodness my father drove me to and from....I am no longer gonna try to be a super woman! I can't even wear a bra ...every incision hurts.My stomach is so puffy and sore and discolored.I am currently lounging in my adjustable temperpedic bed watching SVU reruns.I am in a lot of pain to say the least. Look at my stomach!!!!!!! Revision surgery all in one is tougher than any other procedure.

I am allergic to Whey.I need a protein drink without whey.Any suggestions?

Get this done.Stand over him...pest the hell out of him....

SAMs Club is even cheaper...and they also have the large protein 64 oz .

Why take the chance..,remove them ...after surgery get them back on.

Fantastic.. Walk your heart out!You are on your way!:-)

So much good info here -- thank you! I too had been assuming I'd get the sleeve but my surgeon recommends bypass.Listen to your surgeon.

I had revision from lapband to bypass in December.I feel so much better.

I am going to stay away from bananas....too .Its just too much sugar for me.

I just viewed the movie and felt not so great.It was very depressing and sort of incomplete.I was saddened by the fact that insurance refused to pay for some of the women's surgery.I also noted the double standards when referring to the husbands.They were morbidly obese but not referred to as that."I felt saddened but thank you Bariatric Pal for giving me the opportunity to see it.

My weight loss is slow...

Can you accept the fact that he is trying to tell you it's over?Separate bedrooms."Don't push me"?Buzz words for your marriage is over as you know it.He knows your delicate and he is going through an adjustment phase for your benefit.So you start to realize and adapt to the evolution of the relationship.Get counseling for yourself.YOU are worth it.

How much is the procedure?

You can't speak on bypass complications if you don't have a bypass.I had a bypass and I have no complications.

Take it easy and get plenty of rest.

Baritastic is another app.

Since you are having a mini bypass it is very difficult for me to compare to a full on bypass which is more complex.Each person is different.5 weeks out I still have low energy.

Love this!!!!

Don't be influenced by family chatter...keep on course.Get whatever you need to do.If you back out of this surgery you will regret it.You need your tool to get the 60 pounds off and maintain the loss.It is getting very tough to get insurances to approve these days...consider yourself privileged to get insurance to cover your procedure.You have to be sure and take control.Are you ready?

I am still on soft foods....my water Intake I am working on.I get 2 premier protein drinks and I have puréed soup.I am not losing the way I think I should but I guess I have to get through this stall.Keep doing what I am doing and keep patient.

I had surgery dec 28.THE STALL HAS BEGUN!!!!:-(((
