Thx so much. Yes I have researched youtube, obesity help, this site and a few others as well as people on facebook too. Glad you are happy with your decision I hope to be one day too. From what the nurse told me my insurance only does one surgery per lifetime but they have allowed revisions and they said they will help me get around the "system" to have the revision surgery I want but I have to go to my appointment in a month (which sucks) but I am going to be patient and hope and pray that I am able to have the surgery. I will be 2 years out in Feb 2012 and at that time the biggest two surgeries were Band and Bypass. If I would have known what I know now about all the surgeries, I would have picked VSG.

Thank you!

That is one thing I am concerned about is the extra skin. I have watched a lot of youtube videos with people who have had surgery are not getting the cosmetic surgery for their arms, stomachs, etc. Thank you, I hope to get the sleeve soon. I don't know if I have to do everything all over, I hope I don't. I read somewhere and also saw on yt that a few people didn't have to do the requirements all over again, they were just able to plan for the revision and that was it.

Yes, I'm praying I can get the sleeve. I didn't have any vomitting, I had a lot of port pain and some pain in the band area but no vomiting. Oh and I also had tons of left shoulder pain, ugh that is the worse. My goal is to become pregnant, I have been wanting a second child for quite some time.

Yes, my doctor really wanted me to go for gastric bypass but it was something in me that I just could not do that. I have tracked most of what I eat but for some reason I'm at a standstill now but haven't lost any weight in some time.

Thank you!

Thx so much ladies. Well my story is not that far off from most. I gained most of my weight after I had my son in 2008. I am an asthmatic and have been put on steroids constantly which adds to my weight gain. I had lapband surgery done Feb 2010 and lost around 55lbs but gained most of it back. I have done tons of research on the sleeve and sleeve plication and now I am looking into having a revision.

Thx so much. I will most definitely read your blog. Funny you said blog, I just signed up for one yesterday, nothing posted yet but would like to start a blog for my weight loss journey.

Wow thanks for the info. I have been doing a lot of research and am a little skeptical about the plication. My BMI is 54 I believe.

Hello all, I have a band and I am in the process of getting as much information as possible on revisions. I plan on looking at this site to get as much info I can and I also been on youtube watching a lot of people whom has had revision. Any other helpful sites or anything you may know of that can help me. Thanks, Mook

Hello all, I am new to the group and I have a band. I am in the process of looking up as much information as possible on revisions. I am very interested in the plication but was told its only done in Mexico. Is this true? I know for sure my doctor here in Philly does not do plications but he does sleeves.
