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.

Thank you for your response. I live in FL and they still do the lap band here. Anyone ever have a sleeve revision?

Hi, I had a gastric sleeve done in 2013. I lost 110 lbs and was at goal. Then my mom passed unexpectedly in 2014. I gained 75 lbs back. I have struggled trying to lose it. I have tried Noom and Keto and low carb...failed all. I'm contemplating a revision or a lap band. Any insights out there?

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.

There is a video by Kay Bailey online where she talks about the 5 day pouch test. 2 days of liquids, 1 day soft, 1 day firm, 1 day regular foods. It re-sets your metabolsim. You can probably find it online somewhere. It is an 8 min video.

My NUT basically said that carbs are a huge no-no. Protein FIRST, then veggies, then fruit, if you have the room. If you start eating carbs-you will gain weight.

My PCP told me your body just went through something traumatic & you won't see results the 1st week. She said trust the process-it WILL come off. I lost 3 lbs the 1st week-my surgery was the 12th & I also thought it was strange but what she said makes sense.
