Revision from Sleeve
SeattleLady replied to SeattleLady's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Make sure you take care of yourself. Don't let other people create the map for your journey of healthy living. This is your life!! It's indeed a process. Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app -
On Monday, I had revision from sleeve to bypass. The pain at first was cruel! However, today, it got better. I am excited, relieved, and hopeful! I fought for this tool. Now, it's time to use the tool and self-control for a positive lifetime outcome! Here, I go! Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Revision from Sleeve
SeattleLady replied to SeattleLady's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
The one thing I learned is that pain medication is important in the healing process. I have found that the progress you make in healing and honeymoon time are important in long-term time maintenance. Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app -

I am 7 weeks out of revision. Things are getting better each day. It took 5.5 weeks before the pain went away. Additionally, I have stalled and lost over these weeks. However, I am at my lowest weight in 8 years. No GERD and no current regrets. I am 53 years old. Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Progress 7 Weeks Out
SeattleLady replied to SeattleLady's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I don't know how much this will help. My highest weight presleeve was 283 pounds(p) in 2014. When I got to the table, my weight was 243p. My lowest weight postsleeve was 181p. 2017 started gaining weight and really bad GERD. It took until 09/25/2023 to have revision. I am now GERD free and losing weight. I have no regrets. Fight for your health like your life depends on it, and that's what I did. Yes, sleeve to bypass. Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app -

Waiting for the Dr's office to Call
SeattleLady posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
It's been a fight. However, I am just waiting for a call from the doctor's office. I pray that the years of pain, throwing up, and uslers related to GERD will at the very least lesson! I know it will be a two to three week wait after next Monday. I believe this is the best thing to improve my quality of life! I am scared, excited, and blessed! From sleeve to bypass here, I come.

Well, this was me in August. I had to fight again. My revision is set on 09/25/23. Wow, I have undergone a heck of a fight. Can't wait to be free from pain [emoji18] Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app -

I have fault for my health for 5 years. Several doctors and countless tests concluded that the same "bypass" is my best option. Therefore, I am heading for that operation table on 09/25/2023. Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

This WLS is a big mind game! With my sleeve I got down to 181lbs. And, people in my office were rude and condescending. There was true of my work-friends too. I didn't prepare for such a response. Get you head to the point that can focus on your goals and best health. In my experience, women around you can be your biggest hurdle. Forgive and ignore their comments. Sometimes people are just jealous! Peace Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Postop

I am trying to read everything about revision. It's not 100% every time according to some accounts. However, most likely it will be better than before. Good luck to you and keep us updated! Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Tips for getting into the revision mindset
SeattleLady replied to ryan_86's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Did you lose weight after revision, (if yes) how much and how long did it take? Thanks so much! Sent from my SM-G996U1 using BariatricPal mobile app -
No weight loss after revision
SeattleLady replied to Wisegrl3's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi Wisegrl3, Just asking about your calorie count? How did you arrive at "880"? If you write everything down I mean everything comsumed. So, when you go to your appointment the details are available to use. Starting Monday I will use my journal to capture all of my calories. It's a pain in the butt to do. However, it's the only way for me to stay on track. Water for is an issue. So that too needs to be tracked. Do give up unless you want the same result as before the surgery.
