RNY revision
jelaine5280 replied to jelaine5280's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I'm a week out and still feeling tired but moving around a lot more. I hate with the revision you have 2 drains. I got one out. The other one is for the old stomach and must stay 3 weeks. Ugghhh. Things have changed a little since I had my first surgery but for the better. I'm 11yrs older so I know recovery is different too. The one thing I've had no issues with thus far is eating or drinking which is good. I feel the restriction which I didn't have before so this is a good sign. I'll keep you posted. Good luck with your appointment. -
Hello my name is jeanell and back in March of 2005 I had RNY surgery in Denver, CO. My doctor was Michael A. Snyder. I lost a total of 110lbs but gradually started gaining 5yrs post op. I started noticing that food was causing digestive issues no matter if it was healthy or not and I was getting no Satiety with food. The symptoms got worse and exercise and diet was not stopping my weight gain. I finally decided to go back to my surgeon 10yrs pot-op and after gaining 60lbs. I found out that I definitely had issues with my stoma being enlarged and that a revision would be necessary. It has been 5 days since my revision surgery and I hope and pray I get back on track. I will definitely make sure that I follow all the rules of the tool and pay attention to my body. I actually had a hernia that required repairing during the revision surgery. My plan is to get as much support as I can because this procedure and journey is very exhausting mentally,emotionally and physically. I am excited that they have apps and forums like this to assist with this journey. I look forward to discussing my journey. Regards, Jeanell

High Rate of Revisions for Lap Band Surgery
James Marusek posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
The decision to undergo gastric band surgery is a difficult one in itself to make. But findings from a new study have now made that decision even tougher, because an additional surgery – or two, or three, or more – may also be necessary. Nearly 1 in 5 morbidly obese patients who underwent the weight-reduction surgery were forced to have another operation to correct problems related to the initial surgery, states the authors of a paper published today in the journal JAMA Surgery. Among the malfunctions are incidents when the band that wraps around the stomach slips, or the band erodes into the stomach itself. http://www.acsh.org/news/2017/05/17/1-5-gastric-band-surgeries-require-corrective-operations-11290- 3 replies

Hi all!! Just a quick one! I was banded in Dec 2008 and lost almost 60lb in the first year. Since then I can not get great restriction and have sadly gained about 20lb. I am now wanting a RNY and was wondering if there was anyone in the UK who knows of a good centre that offers revisions and if anyone has had this done on the NHS or with any other financial help. Thanks alot x

6+ Years With Band (Yuck) Now To Vsg Revision
M2G replied to VSG 4 Me's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Best of luck to you in your new journey! I have to partially credit this site with my decision to get the VSG (originally I was thinking band) but thanks to my husband (a VSGer as well, he pushed me to research all options) and a couple of real-life people I have met, I knew that the band wasn't right for us and went ahead with the VSG. I'm now 16+ months post-op and my hubby is 1 year post-op and we have lost about 170lbs between the both of us and I can truthfully say that I haven't had any regrets. For us it was the best thing we could have ever done for ourselves. I'm sorry your band has given you so many issues. You will find lots of posters here who have had revisions and they all say that the sleeve does what the band "promised" to do (but failed!) Good luck with everything! -
May I ask what a revision is?

Revision to bypass from gastric sleeve
nickiec posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hello all, I just had a revision done on Monday Jan 9th from a sleeve to a bypass. I am on a full liquid diet for the next 7 to 14 days. I am a little concerned about not having any feeling of hunger or fullness when eating or drinking. occasionally I can hear and feel the liquid drip down into my new pouch. Anyone else have the same problem? Nickie -

Dr Dillemans band to bypass revision low bmi
jnewbie posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi I am looking into band to bypass revision due to reflux in Belgium. Anyone had this surgery there? Please share your expenrience. Thanks. -
I wanted to post this to the LapBander’s out there... Banded Dec 2012 and was doing great! I went from 230 to 138 and stayed that way with fills up to the end of 2015. Then when I got to 165 in Feb of 2018, I went in for a fill and they found that my band had slipped and I started having lower muscle esophageal problem. I’m thinking great...my BMI isn’t high enough to get the revision paid for and I don’t want to have to go through proving AGAIN, that I need a tool for managing my weight. Plus, my blood pressure is starting to go through the roof! (I’m apple shape so my fat is around my organs) The dr told me I would probably get a denial but we could appeal and do a peer to peer review. Low and behold after waiting 1 week, on the first submission, I got approved. surgery is August 13th 2018!! Eeeek!! I have United Health which has a “once a lifetime” bariatric surgery coverage ( BCBS of Texas did my band). So for all those who are thinking about a revision or band not working, I highly recommended checking into it.

Just Saw Dr Kim On Friday For Revision Surgery
coltonwade posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I wanted to get some of y'alls opinions.. I need a revsion due to complications. I saw Dr Kim on Friday and I am honestly not sure what to think ? I liked him . however was not fond of the insurance coordinator . I live in Austin and went with Dr Kim because I heard he's one of the better revision surgeons around. However I left there feeling like my head was spinning and no answers. . They did an upper gi and the lady asked me how in the world I was eating ? I told her not very well .My band has so much damage, scar tissue that liquids barely go through my band .. Doc told me there are ppl with band issues and then there is me ! Mine are bad basically . He told me to come back next week for and egd, they stick a tube down my throat to see if my band d has erroded through my stomach , he suspected it has . Sounds all bad huh ? the problem i had is no one is in a hurry to get it fixed ! The insurance lady is an idiot ! She was basically telling me my insurance most likely won't pay for anything when I know they very well may .. she really made me mad . She had never dealt with my insurance yet was telling me like she knew she didnt even know that PCIP was not through an employer I guess cause its not what I wanted to hear .. anyway I had a sleep study done Friday night to see if I have sleep apnea . So hopefully will know more in the next dayor so ?? he also told me if i dont revise to a sleeve because of my PCOS that with in 2 months of band removal i will gain back the rest of my weight and will contiune to regain about 30% more weight . HE also said due to the PCOS with out a sleeve i will get diebetes with in 5 yrs ! LOVELY ! All in all i was discouraged, Mainly because the insurance lady didntknow what she was talking about and it pissed me off. I just am not sure what to think ??was this y'alls experience ? thanks Mindy -

Gastric Sleeve Revisions
JakeLancaster replied to Emu's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I am also interested in someone answering your question. I am scheduled for a revision from band to sleeve in a few weeks and plan on this being the last surgery I need. I know and have been told that I can regain weight if I do not work with my sleeve, I know this but I am hoping the sleeve will be just the tool to help me keep on track. While searching for my revision surgeon I ran into several people that had the sleeve redone so I know it can be done. -
Had the surgery yesterday. Still in the hospital. My surgeon said I had minimal scar tissue. Didn't take any pain meds and the pain is bearable. They still have me on ice chips, just waiting to switch to water

I've been searching the forums and can't see any posts about anybody having a revision of their sleeve. I had VSG 3/2013 and got down to 142 for 2 years, and then the weight has started creeping up again, and I'm now at 170. I've tried doing Protein shakes, but it's not slowing down. I had been drinking iced lattes, and I cut them out so I'm not drinking my calories. I still have some restriction, but my appetite is like before the surgery. It wasn't hungry pretty much ever for the first 2 1/2 years. I was sleeved my Dr Fernando Garcia (great experience), and because of my history of esophageal structure mine was done slightly bigger than most patients. If anyone could share their experiences I would really appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Jackie Lance replied to Emu's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
If anyone know of any doctors that approve the sleeve revisions. It has been 5 yrs since my sleeve. I cannot find a doctor to approve for a revisions. My eating habits is still the same. I am not sure for the weight gaining. I have severe arthritis in my knees & shoulders. So exercising is not fun for me. Are all doctors against revisions. Help!!! -
Gastric Sleeve Revisions
Berry78 replied to Emu's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Switching from sleeve to bypass might be something to consider. If you have the means, you could go to Mexico and self pay. There are surgeons there that do revisions. The other option is to redouble your efforts at keeping to a restricted diet. Have you tried the pouch reset? -

Insurance approved band removal but denied revision to sleeve
kgarrettsatx posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
At first i was upset cuz now i have to pay $14,500 for the sleeve revision in the same surgery. Shouldnt there be somewhat of a discount since im already under anesthesia and ins is covering that? Anyway. Trying to see it as glass half full. Paying will give me more of an incentive to follow the rules and be successful since im investing hard earned money. Potential July 18th surgery date!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Band to Sleeve Revision-United Healthcare
azgirl2 posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I am curious if anyone had the revision from the band to sleeve and have United Healthcare. If so, what requirements did you have with them and did they cover the cost? Thanks for any input. In AZ and needing help with questions! -
A revision could be a Few things; it could be having a second WLS years after your initial procedure because you’ve gained weight back years later, it could be fixing a problem with a recent procedure or simply having another procedure because the previous did not meet your needs/ reason for the surgery in the first place.
