Hi everyone 🩷 I’m considering having revision surgery and have an appointment with my doctor next week. I’d love to hear some of your experiences with revision surgery, the process and road to your actual surgery date, post op experience - anything you’re willing to share ☺️… soo lay it on me ! The good, the great, the bad, and the ugly! I lost about a 100 lbs and kept it off for about 4 years but since having a baby 2 years ago I’ve really been struggling with my weight again. TIA 🩷

Hi !! Thanks soo much for sharing ! 48 lbs is incredible congratulations I’m so so happy for you! Walking 5-7 miles on top of yoga is amazing you are crushing it !! The recovery I’m a little nervous about this time around because I have my toddler running around now lol. My husband really is super dad and assured me he has it covered but there’s just times that mommy is all my little guy wants 😅 I had my consultation today & we went over a bunch of things including a full body composition analysis , goals, and a few different options of how we can achieve them including both going the medication route or revision surgery. We ultimately decided on surgery but the type of surgery he said he would like to talk about after I do a swallow study and an endoscopy so he can see what my pouch is looking like these days. He also went over a detailed risk/benefit calculator with me for each surgery but the SADI wasn’t included in any of these conversations- I’m going to mention it to him at my next appointment!! He also let me know that my insurance requires 2 months of nutritionist visits which I’ll be doing my first on Tuesday to get the ball rolling. Thanks again for all of the information! Really so helpful and nice to get another perspective.

Hi everyone 🩷 posting here as well as in the revision surgery forums in hopes to get a discussion going. I’m considering having revision surgery and have an appointment with my doctor next week. I’d love to hear some of your experiences with revision surgery, what surgery you ultimately went with for the revision, the process and road to your actual surgery date, post op experience - anything you’re willing to share ☺️… soo lay it on me ! The good, the great, the bad, and the ugly! I had gastric sleeve surgery and lost about a 100 lbs and kept it off for about 4 years but since having a baby about 2 years ago I’ve really been struggling with my weight again. Gastric sleeve to bypass seems to be the most popular route however I also see that some people have had other surgeries done such as a duodenal switch. Just curious as to how you and your doctor decide which surgery is best for you. TIA 🩷
