5 Months Post Op, Revision Needed

[rensterness 375]

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.

I'm very greatful that it can be fixed, if it couldn't idk what I would do. I am greatful for the success that I have had and even if I could go back in time knowing I'd be back in for surgery five months later I wouldn't take it back. This has truly been the best decision I have made with no regrets at all. Thanks for the thoughts and encouragement and will keep you posted! :-)

Complications have arised that are prolonging my stay. Unable to urinate, so a catheter was needed, along with some now unexpected pain. Hopefully I can go home tomorrow we will see. :???? Really hoping to go home tomorrow!

Ok, so I am five months post open, sleeved October 7, 2013. I am down over 100 pounds since surgery date. I lost just under a 100 pounds by my three month post open date, which was amazing. I felt and do feel like a whole new person. The past 6-8 weeks I've been a bit more sensitive to foods. I still get in my Protein, but my food sensitivity is pretty extravagant I guess. Had some testing done, and yesterday and a full Endoscopy where they gave full anaesthesia in case I needed balloon dil plus they wanted to do extensive evaluation on the stomach. Well, the outcome? My stomach is very much twisted, twirled and 'kinked'. I asked myself and the Doctor how the shell this could happen, especially since I've done what I am supposed to and have been so successful! Well, it turns out that because my weight loss was so rapid and successful it actually caused my new pouch and inside to twist and dance. I was shocked, and scared because I've never heard of this. I spoke with the Doctor extensively, and revision surgery is needed. Got the call today and go in Tuesday for surgery. This is not common and happens in less then 0.02% of patients. Just know that losing so much so quickly could have this possible effect, although rare, still possible. Now I will be a revision patient, and have surgery again, and go through it all over again plus more. I'm staying positive and I wish everyone the best. I just wanted to briefly share a little bit of my success story, as well as the negative effect. I will say, NO REGRETS, never felt better! Hope everyone is doing well, pre open and post open.
