Surgery Date May 21St

Im very nervous about my upcoming revision to the Rny& Gladdbladder surgery. I had the band in May 2009, in May 2012 the port got infected( had to removed)and the next month the band eroded and it also had to be removed. Support from people isnt too strong due to the previous problems but I have put all my weight back on. I had great success with the band. SW-222 and ENDING WEIGHT 145!! I miss the band

Any advice from anyone with a revision or the rny? Long term results problems??? Thanks for the support!! The folks on the site are great!

Sorry I don't have a respond but after reading your post. I was wondering if you lost a lot if weight what went wrong that you gain all the weight back? Did you stop eating healthy? Went back to fast food? I'm new with WLS so if I wrote something offending I'm sorry. I'm just wondering why ppl get WLS but the moment something goes wrong the pounds come back on. I'm on the diet before surgery May 30, 2012 I lost 10 pounds in 1 week. I'm not cheating & I had many opportunity since I cook 7 days a week & 3 meals per day but I'm commited to change my life & I don't want to continue being over weight after surgery. I want to do so much. I have really small kids. 3 years old & 4 years old. Then much older 15 years old all same hubby.

Oops 3 year old & 2 year old.

Mami- to answer your questions- I didnt exercise when I had the band because I lost enough weight. So I didn't after I had the complications. I do eat alot of fast food and bread and lots of carbs. I will be completely honest, I need the discipline without it I tend to fall off the wagon. I am disappointed n myself and don't like to look in mirror, I felt so much better when I was smaller.

I have the same issue. I'm getting revision surgery on 5/21 and I'm worried about the same things.

Me too! I'm in the process of having the revision, the lapband just didn't work for me after I had my son and I'm back in my 200s I'm always hungry and crave all the bad stuff but before my baby I was well on my way to my goal weight, I'm hoping this will be a new start for me!! Good luck!!
