I'm from my mother's womb. I guess that went too far back in time. :)

I am from southeastern Massachusetts! Had gastric bypass in 2008 and I have gained back about 80 pounds back... Wanted to know if anyone has or knows if they do revision on a bypass?

Ladybugg73.... I am having a bypass revision next week. I had my original surgery in 1983. I am going to Mexico to have it done by Dr. Rodriguez, who has done this particular laparoscopic revision surgery many times and is a leader in revisions.

My insurance would not cover it, so I have to pay out of pocket. The total cost for the surgery, hospital stay (for 2) ,the transportation to and from the hospital and med's on check-out is $8950. I scheduled my surgery through Beliteweight.com with Sylvia. I'll be updating here next week after my procedure.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
