How much weight have you lost after revision?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering how much weight band to sleeve revisions patients have lost. I currently have the band. It has slipped, waiting on surgery date for removal. I will be getting sleeved probably around April after all requirements have been met. I have heard many people don't lose as fast when they revise from band. Can anyone tell me how their weight loss and experience has been? Thank you

Yes I had my revision September 10, 2012 in Tijuana Mexico by an amazingly skilled surgeon and it was complication free!

I'm not quite 7 months out and am down 92 lb.s It's a myth that revision folks don't lose much or don't lose quickly. Best of luck to you,

Kim

I'm down 53 lbs. since May, but does it really matter the speed of weight loss as long as it is coming off? I've been slow and steady. The holidays were a tough one, but I didn't gain. Now, I refocus and plow on. Just food for thought. Good luck!

My Stats:

HW:248

SW:218

CW:165

I had my revision 8 days ago . My stomach is still swollen so I haven't lost any weight on the scale. My doc said only clear liquid, broth and Optifast for a full 4 weeks and then introduce the soft food stage. I figure between 4 Optifast 4x160=720 calories and 32 oz chicken broth and 64 oz of diet ice tea a day I should really see results . I'm only getting "head" hungry only and discomfort at my incision areas but that is getting netter each day

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
