I had the vsg done in November 2012.... it has been awful ! It made my GERD 10 times worse , I can't tolerate any solid food.... so , I'm scheduled for my revision to RNY May 7th. I wish I had went with my gut ( no pun intended) the first go around. It ultimately is your decision, your choice , all I would offer is trust your own judgement and don't just go with what's popular at the moment. Good luck and God Bless

I'm always going up and down a few pounds. I would find it odd that anyone would *never* fluctuate. Especially a woman...

Good morning November 2012 sleevers!!! Its been forever since I have posted.... Happy to report I did reach my goal , at least for a little while .... Unfortunately I've gained 5 lbs of it back ????????????. So , I'm vowing now , I WILL get it back off !!! Getting back on track with healthy eating and exercise. I've ordered the piyo DVD's and trying a new Protein shake... Will let you know how it goes

I'm worried about the same things.... self pay here as well , sleeved 5 months ago and miserable. I have to think positive going in.... we're gonna do great ! May 7th can't get here soon enough

Lol yeah it's a lot to take in and even more to deal with. I have been called full of it I've been told to eat right and work out to stick to the plan not by docs but by other sleevers. You would think your peers other people who have had it done would support you but most of them like to degrade and belittle you if yours is not working as well as the majorities. There are a few that are Kind understanding but most are down right Nasty and judgmental. I'm reading more and more ppl getting there sleeve redone many as slow as me some that stop loosing or loss 1 lb a month. I just lost 1lb after 3 months of nothing. The sleeve is just a Up in the air crapshoot ATM and a fad it works well for some and not at all for others. I would not say down right don't get it to someone I would more Say take a hard look and a evaluation of your eating habits Before you choose a wls. I wish I knew to do that before I spent the time and money I did on the sleeve.

Kristy,
I am your #1 fan!!! You have no idea of what an inspiration you are to me. I just got surgery done on March 11 but can't wait to have a success story just like yours. I've lost 24 lbs and have at leas 86 to go. Congratulations on your weight loss and thanks for sharing your success with all of us.
Blessings to you!

Hello everyone... I'm looking for buddies/mentors in Ohio . I live in Columbus , would be great to meet people in my area to share my journey with. I'm scheduled for my sleeve to bypass revision surgery on May 7.

I had the vsg done in November 2012.... it has been awful ! It made my GERD 10 times worse , I can't tolerate any solid food.... so , I'm scheduled for my revision to RNY May 7th. I wish I had went with my gut ( no pun intended) the first go around. It ultimately is your decision, your choice , all I would offer is trust your own judgement and don't just go with what's popular at the moment. Good luck and God Bless

I'm so excited !! May 7th with Dr. Aceves. I'm having a sleeve to bypass , can't wait

I wish that bypass would have been mentioned to me..... Dr. Alvarez is in piedras negras. .... think I spelled that right lol . I've been doing a lot of research and your doctor is right , my sleeve made my reflux 10 times worse . I had my sleeve done 11/30/2012 and have been miserable ever since , none of the acid reducers help. Will definitely be giving Dr. Aceves a call
