I feel your pain! I was a failed band, got from 295 to just above 200 then started having band issues, eventual prolapse and removal. I was back to 255 when I finally had my RNY....I'm back, almost to 200.... Been 200.6 for a couple weeks now....and really have to chew myself out not to have the 'dammit you're a failure' thoughts. I was warned pre-op that revisions tend to lose slower. While I have continued to lose, many of my fellow February friends around here have lost way more than me, a few are even at goal!!!! But there are some of us still hanging in the 50-60 pounds lost area. And that's okay! We may be slower, but we'll get there! It's not a race to the finish line. The prize isn't for who gets there quickest, the prize is your health and happiness and it doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as you get there.

HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

I heard that too, I dont understand why revisions would be slower? does anyone have an answer?...I weigh exactly the same as you LOL....

My daughter had RNY 14 months ago she lost 130 pounds so far and she is still loosing ! I think slower might be better cause this is something you want to do forever ! My brother in law lost weight super fast when he had RNY and as soon as he got to goal weight he stopped extersising and went back to old ways and gained his weight back . My goal is to live till I'm 85 so I don't care how fast I loose just as long as I can maintain a healthy weight the rest of my life.Yeah, I mean I dont care if I doesnt fall off, just thought it would be a little more consistent....I dont understand if it calories in calories out then no calories in should be weightloss....but i will tell ya, if I ate 1 too many calories i would gain!!!

Nothing scientific but I really think with all the ups and downs and starvation mode etc my body had become extremely resourceful and knows how to suck ever last drop out of every calorie I eat :/

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
