Thanks for the responses everyone. It's great to hear how everyone is doing and glad I'm not alone. I jumped through all the hoops and they submitted to my insurance so I'm waiting to hear back from the bariatric center. I'm super excited and a bit nervous.

Hey guys! New here and this is my first post. I'm nervous about the revision surgery to RNY because of my bad experience with the Lap Band. I had it done like ten years ago when I was a lot younger, I'm 29 now. There has been a lot of guilt and shame from not meeting my goals. I was so ashamed I have spent most of my 20s trying to forget about it because I thought I was the only one who had this experience. Recently I have learned that I was not the only one who has been through this and it is very common. This has been very uplifting and I reached out to a surgeon who I plan on doing the revision to RNY procedure. I guess I'm looking for some people to connect with and share similar issues and experiences. Also I'm wondering what to expect. I'm 6'5" a bit over 400 lbs. Thanks for reading looking forward to a response. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
