More surgery and I feel like a failure



Recommended Posts

Hello, I had lap band last January. Thou I have lost weight but have not been doing well. I have had a a port issue from the beginning. Which consist of constant soreness. It went further and I had sever pain and ended in the hospital in for 4 days. With no explanation of why. I have lost 40 pounds and am happy with it. I finally got approval for port revision surgery along with the possibility of removal of adhesion. I also may have a hernia and my band has been empty for a long time. I also have reflux bad. I have no fills since July. A lot of not doing well is partially my fault as I have no restriction and I am hungry. I hope this surgery helps and I can have a fill and get back into the swing of things. Has anyone have similar issues? Would love to hear from you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
