5 weeks post revision and no longer overweight!

So excited. Put my stats into a BMI calculator and realised I'm no longer overweight. Yay. Still got a bit more to lose as my middle is still too thick to be healthy but being in the healthy weight range again feels amazing!

Wonderful, how long was your approval time and process?

I’m in Australia so my process is slightly different.

We need a referall from our General Practicioner to see a specialist and that lasts for a year. I have been seeing my surgeon for years , he didn’t do my band but he took over my aftercare.

I went to see him in about Sept last year and told him how frustrated I was and he gave me options. At that point he suggested RNY and told me his reasoning. I went home and did some research and decided to go ahead. I had another appointment with the surgeon to go over everything and set a date. He didn’t require another gastroscope as he did one within the last 2 years, he also had results from a barium swallow I did earlier in the year. The only other specialist I was required to see was a physician to check that I was fit for surgery.

Do you mind me asking what was your revision. I had the sleeve a year ago next month and I've only lost 50 lbs despite doing everything right. It's so frustrating. I lost 50 lbs on my own. I feel like a failure [emoji21] now and am not sure if I'll qualify for a revision.
