Tomo 1,194 Posted February 15, 2023 I’m thinking that person would do well with a little mental health counseling so I don’t know what else to say other than I will pray for himI think you are trying very hard to invoke an emotional response. I will walk away from this now. I was being sincere in suggesting it because you said you are devastated in your OP. I am so sorry you took it as an attack. Best of luck. 2 SleeveToBypass2023 and Summermoose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomo 1,194 Posted March 1, 2023 I had the gastric sleeve 4 yrs ago. I developed real bad Gerd. My surgeon said to do the revision to the gastric bypass. I’m 6 weeks post op and down only 25 pounds and my surgeon says I probably won’t loose much more because it’s a revision. I’m devastated why didn’t they tell me before I did the revision. Has anyone lost significant weight after a revision?In defense of the surgeons, I think one of the reasons doctors either don't tell you (some warn you of minimal weightloss) that a revision due to gerd often results in minimal weightloss is because to them, it isn't about the weight to them, it is to fix your gerd. You can't live a quality life suffering from severe gerd day in and day out. I couldn't sleep at night and during the day towards the end, I had to have food constantly in my stomach or the knawing feeling in my stomach would never go away, and my throat literally burned all day no matter what. It was miserable. 2 SeattleLady and summerset reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tina Tiff 1 2 Posted March 1, 2023 Yes but at least tell me so I can make that decision for myself is all I’m saying. Telling me after having major fricking surgery plus having a heart attack during and complications I am ver upset. 1 Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This. At least most likely. I can remember when I got my revision (MGB to RNY) I asked if there would be changes in weight, i. e. I wanted to know if it would be more difficult to maintain the weight after revision or not. I doubt that the surgeon would have mentioned the weight thing if I hadn't specifically asked about it. For them it was fixing the reflux and repairing the hiatal hernia. Edited March 1, 2023 by summerset 1 Tomo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily, he was wrong in my case, but it is an individual thing, I think. It may be because just living gerd free has drastically help me stay on plan. I no longer had to have food in my stomach in a desperate attempt to control acid levels. 2 Chel1 and SleeveToBypass2023 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tina Tiff 1 2 Posted March 1, 2023 It’s still a Gastric Bypass tho. A person would automatically think you would loose weight..they need to be more specific. Thank you for your opinion very much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shewolf143 57 Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) I had the gastric sleeve in 2013 and lost 110 lbs. I didn't fix what was wrong in my head that made me overeat. I've gained 75 lbs back. I'm so disappointed in myself. I have since worked on my issues. I am having trouble losing any weight on my own though. I am thinking of a revision to the sleeve or a lap band. Has anyone been in my position and had either the revision or lap band and lost again? Will insurance cover it? I have Anthem. Any advice would be welcome.

shewolf143 57 Posted August 14, 2023 Mgoos1...apparently not many people read this site...I only got 1 response and I know there are many out there that have done revision surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
