I haven't had any problems except feeling a little weak sometimes. No tummy problems though. I have one more week on mushy food then to reg. food. Don't worry about losing fast.... it took a long time to gain so.... I know it's easy to get anxious but be kind to yourself, stay on track and let the surgery do it's job!

Had a bypass revision on Sept 29. I went through the same thing. I would be down 10 then back up 3.... I was disappointed but kept on track and weighed yesterday and suddenly...... 7 lbs down! A total of 35 lbs since surgery! We have to hang in there - follow our orders and believe in the surgery and let it "do it's thing". I'm looking forward to the Holidays and feeling REALLY well!

Ladybugg73.... I am having a bypass revision next week. I had my original surgery in 1983. I am going to Mexico to have it done by Dr. Rodriguez, who has done this particular laparoscopic revision surgery many times and is a leader in revisions. My insurance would not cover it, so I have to pay out of pocket. The total cost for the surgery, hospital stay (for 2) ,the transportation to and from the hospital and med's on check-out is $8950. I scheduled my surgery through Beliteweight.com with Sylvia. I'll be updating here next week after my procedure.

I had bypass in 1983. Long story short....I'm at 280 again... I am having bypass revision on Sept. 29. The best advise I can give you is this..the first time I had this done I thought it was a miracle. This time I understand that it is a tool. That IM responsible for doing what's right not the surgery. If you follow the "rules" and keep yourself on track...it will be the best thing you ever do for yourself..

I had the same situation. I am having a bypass revision Sept. 29. I'm so excited because the first bypass I was young and thought out was a miracle....this time I know its a tool and that I am responsible for my success not the surgery...its just there as a boost and to help me.

Wow...this actually brought tears to my eyes. What an inspiration! Thanks for sharing.

Good news! I'm 8 days until surgery...I'm so excited!!

I'm having a bypass revision on Sept 29. SW will be about 280. Hoping to get to 150. I'm excited and anxious. I've been doing my pre-op diet for 4 weeks. Want to make things as easy as possible. I'm in the Seattle WA area. Where are you?
