Thank you Dania! Means a lot to me! Will keep you posted

Please do! My husband had a lap band placed June 2008, he lost almost 100 lbs with it and then gained it all back. He is set to have the band removed 3/24 and then wait 2-3 months to get the gastric sleeve. I am looking to learn more from everyone so that I may be the best support for him! Please let us know how the revision goes

Sorry that you are going through this! Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Wow! Well done for losing 100 pounds.

And, it sounds very stressful having to have another surgery so I hope you are doing OK with this. I sending you positive thoughts. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to keep your spirits up.

Do you mind me asking what is the medical term fir what you've experienced? And what surgery you are having? Is it to untwist your stomach or is it a re-sleeve or something else?

I am preop so want to make sure that I understand all the possible complications. I am still nervously waiting for a date :/

My stomach is very much twisted, twirled and 'kinked'.

It must have been a shock to get that diagnosis--but as others have said, I'm glad you got the information now rather than suffering really serious complications later down the road. Thank goodness there IS such a thing as a revision, imagine if there was nothing anyone could do to help your twisting tummy??

You have an awesome outlook, and it sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders and a solid, supportive medical team. You're going to do just fine; hang in there, and keep us posted on your progress.

We all can learn from this if it don't feel right it might be time to see Doc and not continue till it gets worse.

It's very uncommon for it to happen, and something that seems to be more of a discovery from what the doctors have told me. They have a couple different procedures they are billed under such as sleeve revision, revision, sleeve revision to bypass, sleeve revision to partial, and revision to bypass. Mine is under sleeve revision to partial. They will be going in, removing my staples from my pouch, stapling it against the wall, restapling and doing some 'moving'. It is stressful to know I have to go through this, but I can truthfully say it is all worth is and I have no regrets what so ever! :-)
