Thinking of getting a revision. HELP!!



Recommended Posts

So I had my sleeve done in 2014. Day of surgery I was 210 pounds. Lowest I dropped to was 174. I maintained my weight between 180-190 for a couple of years. With in the past year gained back all the weight I lost and then some. I’m currently at 212 pounds. I think I have some sort of hernia, and HELLA MEGA BAD reflux. I take Zantac everyday, like even Cereal with milk gives me bad heartburn.

So now here I am, thinking I should get some revision surgery. I already made an appt for a consult. But I’d also like y’alls opinions or suggestions.

-What’s better post sleeve, Roux en Y or bypass?

Also, what are some things y’all wish you would have known with revision???

How tall are you. More info please about the first surgery.

Why do you think that eating Cereal and milk is a recipe for anything other than regain (and then some) and hellah GERD? I had RNY and before and after surgery, if I ate a meal like that I have hellah GERD.

Just asking cuz there are no magic surgeries. And typically revision surgery doesn't imbue the type of weight loss you see in virgin surgeries--especially if there are emotional food eating behaviors that have contributed to the regain.

Regardless of which surgery you choose, the main question should really be--where can I find the best RD and best bariatric counselor to work with on my eating program?

Welcome! And I wish you all the best.

      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.
