I had my revision too and with I had never had the band!! Good luck to you!!

Anybody take these? Was told it'd help speed up metabolism & give lots of energy!

I'm looking for Julia Alpert--- she sent me a box full of goodies and because of a major set back, I had to have revision on my RNY- today I pulled out that box and her letter, it made my day!!! I want to thank her but I don't know how to get a hold of her, if anyone on here knows, please let her know or let me know!! Thank you!!!

I too, had my RNY Nov 6th however, my pouch is to big!!!! After a slow loss (32 lbs) my dr ran some tests and discovered my pouch was not the size it should be I go back to surgery July 17 and again, I'll have to do the liquids, mushies and then solids! I've got about 40lbs more I'd like to lose so hopefully this will get me there! Congrats to those who have has an awesome success!!! I was looking forward to a tummy tuck this year but looks like that's not going to happen & I'm okay with that, I'm not giving up!!!

I had two tests, one was an x-ray where I drank that chalky white stuff so they could take images of my pouch and the second was an EDG which is a scope - I was put to sleep and a scope was put down my throat to determine how big my pouch was. The dr doesn't know why this happen to me, he says he hasn't seen this in manyyyy years but that it has happen. I recommend you speak to your dr and be persistent cause mine was blaming my food choices right before he ran one x- ray in his office then says - oh you maybe right!! - Doesnf hurt to ask!

Awesome!! That's my dr also!! ????

I received my approval Friday now just waiting on a surgery date!! Getting allll nervous as if it was my first time!!

How's it going Texasmike?? How do you feel? Is your dr Robert or Garth?

I'm 6 months out, had revision from band to RNY on 11-6-12 but my weight loss wasn't anything extreme- I have only lost 32lbs and I voiced my concerns on my 6mo follow up, dr performed some tests in his office which he says he sees my pouch is dilated!! He scheduled me for two procedures that I'll be doing at the hospital to make sure what he saw is acurate, if he is right- I will have to go back to surgery and have my stomach trimmed off!! I'm nervous but sorta relieved that he's detected it so soon, I was concerned as to why I was able to eat so much more than other November members and why I wasn't losing at the same pace everyone else was.... I'm thankful I'm getting some answers and getting it looked into! All I can say is that if you feel something just isn't right, it's up to you to fix it! If I had not been persistent with my dr he would of just thought I was losing at a slow pace since after all I did lose 30lbs! I go in for the tests next week! Hoping to put this behind me soooon! Feels like pre-op all over again!

Ok... Here we go... I had a reversal from lapband to RNY in Nov and I am struggling!!! I just can't give up the sweets & high calorie meals! I do really good during the day but when I get home and I'm with my kids and husband I want to eat what they eat and I want the sugar cookie, Cheetos, tacos and everything that caused me to be this way! I say to myself that I can walk away but, I cave! I still crave the bad stuff, I don't dump so it doesn't prevent me from anything and worse is that I don't feel restricted in anyway when I eat! What do I do? I even considered diet pills to suppress my hunger and give me energy or I want my dr to run tests and tell me why I don't have a food restriction but, at my 3 mo follow up he brushed my concern off. Could I see another dr if he's my surgeon? Ahhhh- frustrated:( SW: 218 CW 188 GOAL: 150!

I've been told yes, liquid are liquids so they count along with your waters, teas, coffees ect. At the beginning I thought Water was water and I had to drink 64oz on top of anything else which I was like - good lord, I'm float away lol - PS I was also told that if you drink coffee you have to add a cup of water for every oz of coffee you drink but, I haven't confirmed if that's the truth--

60-100grams per day!! I drink premium protien and it's 30grams!
