thanks pattiro..its so good to here positive and encouraging responses...I too have reflux so i am hoping this will take care of it....

Wow, your still losing after a yr out? good for you...you only did 2 days liq diet and what was the 30 day pre op diet? congrats on your awesome wt loss...!

how about broth, can you have broth? omg...I dont know how anyone could do it 30 days..did you lose alot of wt?

I dont know how you guys do it...what can you have on a liq diet? I would like to try it even though my dr doesnt require it...thanks and good luck....

Hi missmachine, I am scheduled for a sleeve to bypass revision on 8/1...I am looking for the same answers as you...i was also guided to the other thread with no response so far...I would love to stay in touch with you since we are pretty much alone in this revision right now...you can PM me if you want or I will PM you my email...good luck and stay in touch..vicki

Im glad I found this thread..I hope some still come here...I am being revised on aug 1st, had the band then the sleeve, now bypass....I too am so very scared...It looks like not too many revisions on here and not alot of chat...Misslala05 did you have your surgery yet? Anyone? any information appreciated!!

Thank you oldeoneyoungagain....i will go searching now...this is scary since there are not many, i just wonder how experienced the drs are and what the stats are that lie ahead...?

Thanks kristy, someone else said there was a thread, but I can't find it....

I am worried about loose skin and looking old....well older....

Awesome!! thank you Tina~~~

August 1st!!!

Hi, Im new here and I hate to type so I will make this as short as possible...I was banded in 2008, prolapsed in march of 2010 and sleeved on nov 1 of 2010...well not sleeved, I had so much scar tissue they couldnt complete it...sooo now I am going into the OR again on aug 1st to be sleeved since the doc thinks he can get around the scar tissue....except, now im thinking about doing bypass..i have terrible reflux and honestly, I dont want to do this anymore...I just want this 5yr nightmare to be over...I have an appt with the doc on tues and I think I will tell him my feelings and see what he says...I am afraid of the surgery itself, and I am afraid of the unknown.."dumping syndrome" which may be good for me cuz I like my sweets...lol...but it sounds horrible, sweats, shakes, fainting etc...and vit. def. etc...I would just love anyones feedback on their exp. with bypass..and anyone who was revised from sleeve to bypass...

Oh noooo...I cant imagine...im having surg on aug 1 and im having an incisional and hiatal hernia done the same day...cant imaging going back in so soon... good luck and feel better soon..

wow really? Im having surg on aug 1st and if it is restrictive, then why not the sleeve? whats the purpose of re-routing

Oh... I wonder if I have to do that...ugh...will see him on tues.... :ph34r:

Aug 1st..Im terrified too.....

Good luck Country girl, im sure you will be so glad the wait (weight) is over..lol...I know i cant wait...good luck on mon. I will be thinking about your and following your progress....

Omg....your story is my story except my drug of choice is diet pepsi....1st thing in the morning, last thing at nite and everywhere I go!! I have weaned down to one 24 oz bottle of regular diet in the morn. But drink caffiene free all day.. I also love the fizz and the taste mmmmmmm . No matter whate I have tried, doesn't do it for me...sigh.... if u find a cola anonomous, let me know I need it too....

Thanks Molly, I have an appt on tues. and I think he will do either one since he offered me the option last time I saw him...Im so nervous...I wish I could get excited like most on the site...maybe once the wt starts coming off...And yes, I know about barrets and esophogeal cancer, i asked him to scope me last month because the reflux is so bad....When is your surgery?

anyone here Have dr Aaron Hoffman @ BGH

anyone here Have dr Aaron Hoffman @ BGH

I know, Im going to be 57 in Nov, and I feel like I'm too old to be going thru all of this..but then again, I have diabetes, bad knees , high BP etc..so , not going so good this way either...dumping might be my best friend when I come to think of it, I love sweets...

anyone from buffalo who had dr. hoffman a BGH

thanks soccer mom..looks like you have done great on your wt loss journey!

I got mine on my Nook...very informative, I would recommend it for anyone Pre or Post op! I would say it is as important as your measuring cups, scale, and protein shakes!!
