April 2022 Surgery Buddies
Tina 2.0 replied to Crinkles's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I had a revision of a Roun Y on Tue with a hernia repair. The hernia has not slowed my healing a bit. Surgery was Tuesday with an overnight stay. I’m doing light chores, driving and shopping today. My doc keeps us on a liquid diet for 2 weeks and protein drinks. I tried broth, it was ok. But just paid a bit more for Bone Broth… wow! A new favorite! Flavors are wonderful and still on plan. There is never really a great time to take off work for surgery. But you will know the best time for yourself and your family. -

April 2022 Surgery Buddies

I've read on the forum many revise to a bypass if they have hiatal hernia and acid reflux. This wouldn't be an option for me, I had colon cancer and need to have yearly colonoscopy. Makes me feel its higher stakes with the sleeve as I won't be able to revise. -

August Sleevers Check In
Ken James replied to Sweet Pea STL Sleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am tomorrow, August 7th. Today is the 2 year anniversary of my wife's surgery. She had lost so much weight before on Weight Watchers, and put it back on, that I thought she should just go that route again. So I was against bariatric surgery. She had a lap band for 4 years and was miserable, so she had the VSG revision. She's become an Iron Lady. She does kettlebell, which I introduced her to 3 years ago, marathons, mud run obstacle courses. Its time for me to catch up. -
Labor Day Challenge 2012
jhansen71 replied to jhansen71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
SW: 243.6 Challenge Starting Weight: 190.4 Last weigh-in: 171.6 Today: 170 Lost this week: 1.6 Total lost in challenge: 20.4 Labor Day Challenge Goal: met goal of 175, revised to 169 Pounds to go for challenge: 1 Weeks left in challenge: 1 It took a lot for me to lose the 1.6 lbs this week. I feel like its the start of a stall, but I hope not. I would like to actually hit 168.6 by Labor Day so I can say I've actually lost 75 lbs. So 1.4 lbs to lose this week. Please, please, please I want to make it. Good luck everyone during our last week of this challenge. Let's really push it to finish strong no matter our end results. Fingers, toes, legs, arms and eyes crossed that we all find success on the scale this week. -
Thank you ladies. Marie, I wanted to wish you luck on the port revision. Let us know how it goes.

Yep. i'm in the same boat. I'm also 3 months post-op and had a band to sleeve revision this past January and only have lost 7-10lbs. I had originally lost about 65lbs with the band but after two slips the doc said it will slip again and removed my band and revised it to the sleeve in one surgery. I'm eating about 1400-1500 calories a day. If I eat any less than that I am hungry all day. I don't regret having it done. I know if I didn't I would weigh a lot more than I do now. I just joined the YMCA and will start going this week. Hopefully with working out the weight will start falling off.

MacMadame, You are not letting me down AT ALL!! I have felt as though I am letting you down since I have gone into my nothing mode. Keep it up! You are doing great!! Georgia, I have never lost any fluid that I know of. I am doing good today. I am a little sore. After this "minor" revision I have 33 staples. My doctor actually did revision on 2 areas instead of one. I am very pleased. I have done very well with my eating today and actually feel a little more focused. I am going to take the rest of the week to recover from my procedure and then I will start my new routine on Monday. My goal will be consistancy. I am actually looking forward to getting going!

August Sleevers Check In

Hey Katie, I've been doing all liquids too, it's not easy!!! But we can do this!!! I'm a revision!! So I can not fail this time!!! -
Hey everyone! My 1-year appointment is tomorrow. I've logged in here almost every day and the support has really helped me stay on track. My start weight was 250 and my original goal was 175. I'm now at 169 with a revised goal of 150. I'm very, very happy with how everything has gone and I think I can keep the habits I've established for the foreseeable future and hope to lose more.

@notmyname, glad to hear thing are getting better (if even just a little bit )...is your team still recommending a revision for you?

Congrats on the weight loss!! I haven’t lost any weight since day five I had a revision lapband to sleeve on October 1st. I’m 13 days out and still the same weight since day five, I had an issue of not keeping in dairy or artificial sweeteners. So I couldn’t do protein shakes. I’m hoping now that I’m on stage 3 and just starting to get the protein I need I will start to lose.

September 2009 Band Date
blessedbyfour replied to ashleysara's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
we seem to have a similar band date, age and weight loss....I havent posted much on here..just read it often. I have a band slip though and am having surgery find tomorrow to fix it. I am trying to find people who have had a revision and what their recovery time was. Anyway, just thought I would say hello and see that I am on track or "normal" -
OTAKEM- How many calories are you eating? Just do it- I might not post a lot but I read everyone. I appreciate you posting! As for me, I am healing pretty well from my port revision. Mostly off my pain meds. I took one today because I took the kids to the zoo and I was hurting afterwards. I forgot to take my nausea medicine and then threw up an hour later. Stupid pain meds, I always have to take nausea medicine, it makes me so sick without it. I wish I was back on track, I can't even exercise for another week and half! I am not supposed to lift more than 10 pounds for another week also, so much for my 26 pound two year olds. Oh and on top of that, I have been stuck a pound up for a week since surgery. Oh well, enough venting for me. How is everyone else doing?

2Nd Surgery And Still No Sleeve!
KS Fort Worth replied to kelly ann's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Be thankful though, in that if your surgeon was not confident in his ability to make it work and had tried anyway, disaster would have followed. Perhaps your new surgeon will have more experience with revisions. Good luck! -

Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery
cindi gant replied to sleeve 4 me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was revised from gastroplasty to sleeve December 2013. Lost 150. Sw 350 cw 200. Losing very slowly now, but still losing. I am using every tool in the toolbox. Counseling, trainer, gym, walking, water aerobics, monthly support groups, online support, and my personal support team of friends and family. I also call my surgeon's office when I have concerns. I have had many stalls. Some last a few days, weeks or a couple of months. Do not compare yourself to others. We all have different experiences. We did not gain over night, so do not expect to lose so quickly. Take your measurements. That is a better guide than the scale. Stalls are a good thing. Your body has to catch up with itself. Get your bloodwork checked. How is your thyroid? Are you taking your vitamins? Are you getting plenty of protein? Hang in there. Be patient. This is not a race. -
Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery
lucky1gg replied to sleeve 4 me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Crybaby... I feel for you. We are in the same boat. I just can't lose with the sleeve. I lost 42 pounds in 8 months with my revision to sleeve. During the past 12 months I have wavered bw 175-185....which is the longest I have stayed that low in my adult life. I feel ok but I just do not understand why I cannot lose more. I live in fear bc my scale bounces up and down... each time creeping a pound or two higher then back down. So scared I will be 230-260 again. I am trying to go back to Protein and Water goals which even though I can't eat large volumes I have not been meeting those goals lately. Stress is a BIG factor! Don't give up.... we did all of this for a reason. Keep in touch! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I had lapband surgery back in March 2012...the first 18 months I did really well with very little issues. Then they put my band at 5cc, and everything went down hill from there. I had to have Fluid removed because I couldn't hold anything down, and even when fluid was taken out, within a few weeks the same problem came back. Long story short - August 2014, I had to wait over a month to get an appointment, so I went over a month throwing up daily solids, liquids, mushy foods. Nothing stayed down period. So when I finally got in, I asked them to just take the fluid out completely. They got most of it, or so I was told, and my per visit price "doubled" to almost $200. I was fine for about 2 months after, and then I started occassionally having episodes where something wouldn't stay down. Mind you, I gained 10lbs before the fluid came out when I couldn't hold anything down, and then gained 20lbs within 2 weeks after the fluid was removed. So I gained back everything I had lost prior to the whole 5cc fiasco. They called me in October telling me I was overdue for my yearly check up from August, but I don't have $200 for a 10 minute appointment. Now in the last 2 weeks, I am throwing up most things (including liquid) almost daily. Some days it's all day I can't hold anything down, and some days it's hit and miss. Has anyone else had this problem? I shouldn't being repeating last year with an unfilled band. Ironically, the doctor that did my procedure doesn't even offer lapband surgery at his location. Revision surgery is $15,650 for self-pay, and I just don't have any way to come up with it. So it's pretty depressing. I'm trying to get the weight off I gained back unnaturally quick, and it's not budging much, maybe 5lbs. But has anyone else had similiar problems with their band?

It sounds like your Dr failed you, not that you self destructed. Dr Weiner says you shouldn't even feel your band, they are not supposed to be tight. Anyway good luck. Have you considered a revision from the band to something else? Is your current weight on the site accurate?
