Who was a revision patient



Recommended Posts

Who was a band to sleeve revision patient? I am having this done in 11 days and would appreciate it if you would share your experiences.

I had mine done on 6/25 and for some reason I have taken it harder than the band surgery. I went back to work at two weeks but should have waited 3. The happy news is that I can already tell a difference. I get a real full feeling and have not vomited all. The awful pain I had in my chest from the band was gone right after te surgery. Weightloss is slower than others but I expected that bc I could not eat much before surgery either. So far so good!

I was sleeved 4/25/2013, weight loss has been slow but good. I'm still having trouble keeping food down. I can feel full after one bite. I had the band and it just gave me a lot of gas that's about it not much weight loss in 2 years. The sleeve has been a wonderful thing for me. Once the band was removed, before I could have GS surgery I had an enlarged hernia which had to be repaired so I had the hernia and GS completed at the same time.

I'm getting my revision done on Tues morning at 8. Looking forward to a cure for my nighttime reflux and the ability to keep food down without vomiting.

I'll update afterwards and let you know how it went....

Is weight loss always slower for revision patients? I hadn't planned on that. :(

I'm not sure if there are real studies on it I have seen a few people on here that are slower losers after revision. I'm ok with it as long as I can get the weight off

I had revision surgery on March 8th -- and it was the best thing I did! I always said I'd never get rid of my band but glad I decided on it. I was sleeved by Dr. Aceves -- his team was amazing!! The first few hours after surgery were rough but later in the evening I felt really, really good! I did throw up in recovery and when I got back to my room. That sucked and so did the drain pain. Once that drain was gone - I felt 110% better! I wanted to eat, but yet didn't want to ... if that makes sense. I never want to see chicken broth again ;0

I cannot say anything bad about having the revision surgery, I really can't. Without it, I wouldn't have lost the weight I have! Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
