I had my sleeve surgery10/15/2010, where I had a gall bladder removed two hernias repaired.

Lost 14 lbs 5 days after surgery...no longer taking any diabetes meds, high blood pressure, and a Water pill to reduced retention in legs.

Started out staying on the program for September 2012. Then alot of health issues started up on my wife. Climbing stairs was getting difficult.So down-sizing the town home we were renting to 2x2 apartment and downsizing my studio was an added stressor. That's only in in 2012 and found out that we have to move again because they were closing down the place we just moved in and add stress I started to nibble on Snacks to cope with trying to make thur the next big or little stress that had me on edge.

All the weight I lost I've gained all back except 4-5lbs. In the same process I'm now and always been lactose and soy intolerant. Eatting has hazards and unable to eat many things. So simple diet of whitemeat and skinless fowl has settled well.

Sometimes and use the word search for something to be done. I just need cheese find my way back into any fights out to help me get to get me back on my feet in any way to me masters the addictions of food will be helpful.

How much total weight had you lost prior to gaining it back?

You are here looking for help, that's a good start. Its not impossible to re-lose what you lost. You might consider therapy first then a possible revision 2nd... just my opinion. Its not hard to regain the weight, I am almost 2 years out and if I didn't keep track of myself I could go back easily. Do you still have some restriction?

      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.
