While I’m not completely off the rails I see the writing on the wall, some old habits coming back and I’m trying to avoid weight gain and trying to lose the last bit of weight I have to lose. Thinking about seeing a therapist? Isogenix? No not weight watchers again. I can’t. Really. Haha. What have all you successful people done to keep the weight off? What have you done to lose the final 20 once the honeymoon period is over? Please help me figure this out!! So afraid I will never get there and go back to the old me.

6lbs away from knowing I made it...
Brotherorc replied to TooBIG.net's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I know where you are at. Just keep doing what you are doing. Try not to focus on the numbers. I am having a revision from sleev to RNY. I got down when I got to 245 last time and gave up. This time I am going to focus on my eating not the scale (I hope I can do that). Good luck. Keep going HW 225 SW 221 CW 305 GW 200 RNY 3/7/18 -
Considering a lap band - scared after reading this forum!
deltagirl93 replied to Elrix's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my lap-band removed on 2/14/18 after having it since 2006. Should have gotten it removed sooner. Dealt with so much vomiting, acid reflux and much more. While in there I had another revision surgery. Feeling a thousand percent better. My surgeon tries to steer everyone from getting it, although he still has that as an option. -
Worried about results of my Endoscopy Test
kakatlady612 replied to LindsayDenise's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mattymatt is right, but remember unless you were going to have a gastro- plication which you weren't you would lose 3/4 of your natural stomach in a VSG and a lot of people have to have them revised to a bypass these days. Go for the Gold standard and only need the single surgery. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app -
Worried about results of my Endoscopy Test
Mattymatt replied to LindsayDenise's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As @FluffyChix mentioned, you really want to consider RNY if you have GERD because sometimes GERD is exacerbated by just the sleeve alone. I am sure you don't want to go through a revision surgery. -
Bypass or Sleeve???
Phoenix40 replied to dreamangel1974's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I wanted the sleeve because the bypass scared me. I had the bypass because my surgeon said it was the best option for me and I would lose the most weight. I heard of people getting the sleeve and then having the revision later if they did not lose enough weight. I was having none of that. One surgery only for me, lol. I am so happy with my decision. I have not had any complications and my recovery was a breeze. I know several people who had the sleeve and wish they did the bypass.

I’m scheduled for my revision surgery with Dr Illan in Tijuana on Apr 11, 2018. Any suggestions or revision experiences would be helpful please. Did anyone use an abdominal binder? I made alot of mistakes the first go round with the sleeve, lessons learned. Grateful for a 2nd chance.

I never bothered to ask, I was worried about revision rate, mortality statistics, etc. But my surgeon was super good and I have had no complications so far. Nausea is tricky to predict but easily controlled with meds

Revision from Sleeve to Loop DS
BabettesFeast replied to GigiNFortWorth's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi there -- I'm so sorry to hear about your pregnancy loss. I'm also revising from a sleeve to Loop/SADI. I had my surgery 7.5 years ago and did really well for several years until some major losses and depression led to slow regain over time. The surgeon who did my sleeve will also be doing the DS. For me the key is trusting her. I trust her completely, so what she says is what I do! I've learned what I need to do differently this time to prevent regain. I know that my surgeon has an excellent track record of her DS patients having their diabetes resolve. I hope yours will too! -
Intro time: who's new to the group, who's pre-op, & who just recently made it to the loser's bench?
kakatlady612 replied to xoxococojay's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The ultimate decision is yours of course, but I would listen to your doctor's advice, he has done a lot of these procedures, and he wouldn't have suggested RnY if he hadn't seen a good reason for it. A lot of times they advise sleeve for people your age but as you see from the previous person a lot of times it needs revised. Why not go with just one surgery and get it done right the first time? Study up on both procedures, you'll only have 4or5,little iddie bitty slits in your tummy no matter which one. If you have a sleeve the left one is where they pull the majority of your stomach out, you do know you lose about 3/4 of your. stomach with that procedure? If you have a bypass that's where they put the biggest gauge equipment, in either case that will be the sorest if one has to be. You'll start on a beautiful new journey toward weight loss and better health, and also a longer lifespan. It will be worth it all! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app -

I agree with the doctor. My wife and I both had sleeves 6 mo ago she had a RNY revision and I am having mine done March 7 because of acid reflux. I am looking forward to the date. I hope this help just my 2 cents worth -
Revision
animallover1247 replied to nickie2524's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Did he offer an explanation as to why acid reflux occurred after bypass? This is disheartening to hear since I'm getting ready to revise. I know it's probably not the norm but I have been suffering horribly for 2 years now and want rid of it. Just the thought there's a possibility I would not get rid of it scares the crap out of me. I would seriously lose my mind. -
Travel 3-weeks Post Op revision surgery Lap Band to RNY
GA_Terri posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I am scheduled for surgery on Tuesday 2/27. I had lap band 10 years ago and over time, it has not worked out for me. I am having revision to RNY. I am wondering if anyone has tips for travel 3 weeks post surgery. I have to go. I work for a government contractor and I have to attend a 4 day certification boot-camp for work. I know it is best not to do this, but I must. So of course, I am worried about lifting luggage, etc. I will just have to pack light and weight everything to stay under 10-15 lbs. I am also wondering how to do soft/puree at that stage away form home. I have thought of taking a mini blender or just sticking to shakes? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. -

Revision
animallover1247 replied to Landensmom's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I think you are doing great. If you don't know, weight loss from sleeve to bypass is slower. Dr Matthew Weiner (bariatric surgeon) has a video on you tube specifically on revisions. I'm waiting for my revision date right now. Did you revise because of acid reflux? -

I am 61 and having sleeve to RNY revision on March 7. Hoping it will help my GERD and sleep apnea and with the weight I want to lose. -
I had revision from sleeve to bypass on Dec. 04. Have only lost 28 pounds. Is this normal? It’s so slow I’m losing hope.

Resleeved vs rny conversion???
KimTriesRNY replied to Mimismom's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Why are you hesitant to get the bypass if this is a revision? If the surgeon recommends bypass and your insurance approves it that’s what I would get. -

Celebrate Brand Vitamins, etc.?
BabettesFeast replied to BabettesFeast's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Thanks for your response! I'm revising, or I should say "adding" a DS to my sleeve. Since I had my sleeve years ago, my surgeon has disallowed caffeine. This is a big deal for me because my favorite shakes are by Click and they are loaded with caffeine! Recommendations welcome! -
Bypass surgery booked for March 14th! Having revision from gastric band .....sooooooo excited!

Help me please :( GERD
mylighthouse replied to Helpme95's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 15 months post sleeve. I have been having trouble with eating anything besides some soups, yogurt, protein shakes, things like that. Dealing with nausea off and on during day, some vomiting. I have actually had nausea since the surgery. Had an endoscopy when I was in the hospital a few weeks ago, they found erosions. I have been taking Protonix since surgery. Watch yourself with the vomiting, be sure to amp up your fluid intake. Dehydration led to my hospitilization. You don't want that. Powerade Zero is good....that and plenty of water! I have a follow up in March, might have to get in sooner... worried that a revision to bypass might be in my future. Be sure and let your doc know everything that is going on and the severity of your situation. I hope you find an answer and that you feel better soon. -
Help me please :( GERD
Losingit2018 replied to Helpme95's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Did any of you have any type of reflux issues preop? This worries me a bit. Only because I do not want RNY and would be upset if I were forced to revise to it after the sleeve
