Today was my 2 week check up from my revision. I am so happy that I am down 12 lbs!! I am very excited about this. I also get to start back on my Zumba class and lifting weights to music class next week. It is strange I am feeling the need to do more of that type of exercise than I am of walking.

How did you decide if this was right for you vs other bariatric procedures
sherrypep replied to Montereygrl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I went in for the first time Dec 2011 the lapband was the newest best thing. I was a lightweight at 206 but had diabetes and a bunch of other stuff. I wish the Dr. would have went over my options more with me because if I knew then what I know now post revision May 6th to the sleeve my journey would have been a lot easier. Best of luck! -
I went in on Tuesday morning, had OPEN revision, went home on Friday and was at my granddaughters dance recital Saturday night.

Hey! I got my date too! June 17. It's a Wednesday, so barring complications, I should be out by Friday or Saturday. I'm a revision from band to RNY, doc says he does his in one shot most of the time. I hope I'm one of those times. Then I got hubby for the weekend, yeah! I CANT WAIT!!!!!!

I was able to eat popcorn before I had my fill. I have not tried since I got my first fill last week. My doc doesn't advise it because the kernals could get stuck he said. I will listen to him. I already had to do a port revision, and I do not want another surgery.

Hey there! Great Loss you are not far after me. I had my revision to bypass 9/10. Was all you weigh loss after surgery? Or was some of the 70lbs preop? If you don't mind me asking. I have lost 47 lbs but 15 was preop and 32lb has been post op.

I am doing a 2 step revision. How long and how painful is the removal? Will presenting at a conference one week later be possible? Thanks!

All I can say is that it gets better. I had revision surgery from lap-band to RNY on April 29th. First 3-4 weeks was not great at all. Everything I ate made me feel sick. But you can get thru it. I decided pre-surgery that I wouldn't weigh myself more than once a week. And I've pretty much stuck to that and it really helps because you are better able to see the results.

Gastric Bypass VS Sleeve
SleeveandRNYchica replied to jhammer2's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
@@losing-it I have a hiatal hernia too. Of I could do it all over I would have done RNY hands down. I did a two week liquid diet and post liquids none off that is easy. As is the decision to do a revision.... I wish you the best and I am glad that my story gives you some insight. Some people have done real well with the sleeve. Just not me. -
Gastric Bypass VS Sleeve
Pinkgirl1234 replied to jhammer2's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Have had 15 years of failure and misery with the band.I had the choice between bypass and lapband...I wanted the band because I thought it would be less invasive...boy did I make a mistake...fast forward.I have PCOS,hypoglycemia,post breast cancer,high cholesterol ,a screwed up esophagus and tortured stomach....why would I want to cut 85% of it out? I originally considered the sleeve which is the "new" it procedure like the lapband was back in 2004.I am going with the best surgery with the most study and proven research because...I chose incorrectly the first time....this is it..."The gold standard for me.....bypass....do your research and see the amount of sleepers looking for revision to bypass and ask yourself..." How come the bypass patients are not looking for revision to the sleeve?Check out how many sleepers are looking for revisions to bypass...Trust me if you want a revision from the sleeve to bypass down the road you will jump through hoops and may not be able to get approved .... -

having my gastric sleeve op in 3 weeks tie- looking for online friends in the same boat!
manitobamama replied to slamdunk's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dreaded two week diet lolI had a VSG revision to RNY on 09/28. I was scared and nervous but was so happy that the 2 week pre op diet was done just to realize it's more like a 3 week liquid diet as you forget the week after surgery. I can be your buddy if needed. My middle daughter is currently teaching at Darby College until July. My dad was born in Horsham England but came to Canada, where we reside, when he was 6 manitobamama -
Calling all October Sleevers
georgiare replied to sleevechic8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all. I had my revision sleeve on 10/16 from a band. I was only in the hospital 1 night, and it was very restless with the nurses pushing me to get up and move when I just wanted to sleep lol. My doc says clear liquids for the first week, then I can move on to protein shakes, milk, and cream soups. I am excited for that day! I had a hiatal hernia, which was the only complication, and made surgery take 3 hours. No reflux, but I have crazy gas pain in my shoulders. I can drink normally, it took a few days, but I am getting my 64 ozs in. I can walk easily now that I got some rest, it was hard in the hospital because I was just tired, but I can walk the kids to school and back, go around the block, even took a few trips to the grocery store. I lost about 10 lbs on the clear liquid preop diet, and about another 5 postop. I won't see my WLS until 4 weeks postop, so I'm hoping all continues to go well. -
Glad you are here. Hope you find the support you are looking for. I am having a revision from a band to RNY. No problem getting approved for the removal....awaiting approval on the RNY now (denied the first request). Had to re-do classes, psych eval, etc. But, my letter was just sent to the insurance company again yesterday. Hang in there and know you are doing the right thing to have a healthier you!

Gastric bypass and acid reflux
MichJohn77 replied to RNYDawn's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I never had reflux until I had the sleeve. I had such severe reflux after that and was on 5 medications several times a day that this year I couldn't take it and revised on 8/31/15 to gastric bypass. Honestly if you already have reflux I would opt for the bypass. I have no reflux and my surgeon said its near impossible for me to ever have it again. I am off all medication and love it! -
Sleeve to Bypass?
miss_smiles replied to CalgaryWoman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What was your starting weight? I had a revision from sleeve to bypass on May 30th, and I am only down 17 pounds, and getting extremely frustrated. Preop highest: 260 Surgery day: 241 Current weight: 224 I am 28, 5 ft 4 -
finally home from being Sleeved
Becca replied to fullhandsfullheart's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved Monday too and I got home a few hours ago. Glad you are feeling better. I bet the weight will be off really soon! Somehow, I am down one pound. That could be because I didn't have to do a pre-op because I was a revision. I think my body just didn't know what to do with a sudden drop in food. I am so excited to start this journey! Yay for us!!! -
Band to Bypass conversion
ClbsMm2000 replied to sevenb7's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was looking for the same thing. I started having issues with my band last year and had to have all of the fluid taken off. Since then, I have gained back 90 of the 100 lbs I lost. Insurance denied my revision, at first, but I won on appeal. I saw the doctor 2 days ago and got my new surgery date... November 7th. I'm excited and scared all at once! My husband has had the gastric bypass and is doing wonderful. Now it's my turn, again. Just don't know if my experience will be any different, since my band has to be removed. -
Possibly looking at revision; dumping syndrome

Thank you. If I do end up getting a revision, I will tip toe into solid foods. Dumping does not sound like a good time!! I appreciate your response! -
lapband revision bmi 35
Beckh86 replied to tlah's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I am one day post op revision all in one surgery. I feel like a million bucks. The first few minutes in recovery is very rough. I was very nauseous and in a LOT of pain. They got all of that under control quickly and it has been smooth sailing since then. I have had a few instances of reflux when burping and that has been my worst "complication" no nausea, very little discomfort ... I felt like a million bucks when they brought my Breakfast of broth, diluted apple juice, ice and Jello. I didn't touch the jello but the rest was amazing. As of right now I'm feeling so confident about my decision and I already feel better with out the port. -

lapband revision bmi 35
FreeToBMe replied to tlah's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
My revision was 4/11/13. What they found was that the stitches failed when the band was put in 3/05/12. I never had a working pouch, it was <1 cm from the esophagus and I vomited daily from when I moved from liquids to food at 2 months post band insertion. I had ulcers from the chronic vomiting visible on the upper endo prior to my revision surgery 2 weeks ago. My pain has been significant. I am still on Lortab. Today is the first day I was not feeling fire stabbing in my abs to get out of bed. Pain IS decreasing, I have real nervous energy and my hunger is little to none. I did have a fever that went to 100.2 in the first week, labs came back normal. It was just my body reacting to the trauma of surgery and that I have an allergy to morphine which we discovered while I was in the hospital 2 days. I have dropped 11 lbs and 1 pant size already. Good luck with your upcoming surgery. I feel so blessed to have not vomited since 4/09/13 after a year of it being my norm.
