I had the sleeve done in 2009 and I lost about 70lbs but in the past year I have regained most of the weight back. I am now in the process of doing all the pre testing to do the bypass but i have so many concerns that I'm just confused as to weather I should have the surgery. I keep hearing that having revision surgery puts you at a higher risk for complications and gastric leak. I keep telling myself that its just like having any other surgery and there will always be a risk but I'm still scared to death. Has anyone here had sleeve to gastric bypass revision? I hope to here from someone just to hear from someone that had gone through the experience and maybe can share some pointers.

Does anyone order foods from these bariatrc online sites? If so what sites and what do you order?

I notice when I eat oatmeal or something that a thick consistency I get full real fast. and when I do feel like snaking I have cheese

I'm a few days late but I'm finally part of the loser's bench !!! Hi everyone !!! happy to see everyone is doing well and focused !!!

Wishing you all the best !!!

Wishing you all the best !!!

I started the pre-op diet three days ago and I'm losing my mind. How is everyone else doing with the diet ?

I had the same issue with my husband and I noticed that in due time I slowly got my mojo back lol I did notice that music was great at setting the mood and some good old four play got me in the mood. Toys and movies aren't such a bad idea ....won't hurt to give it a try.

It's normal to feel nervous and anxious ...although your not having a baby its like your nesting lol . My surgery date is May 13 and i'm already getting everything in order. Wishing you all the best !!! Although it hasn't been an easy process your on your way to a new journey that will change your life in such a positive way.

CONGRATULATIONS !!! I just go the call today and my date is set for May 13

I too had those funny sounds in my tummy and I thing its just the food or drink going through your digestive system.

Congratulations and wishing you all the best !!!

I had the sleeve done 2009 and it has been a week since they sent my information to the insurance... Im still waiting to hear from my insurance so I will keep you posed . As for tour situation I cant see why they wouldn't approve since the insurance you have now i different and your doctor says the revision is needed.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me Abby and I'm happy to hear that after a long journey you have lost all the weight and are happy. Although there may be some ups and downs you have reached your goal it was all for a great cause. I have been so scared ever since I spoke to my doctor last week and I have even reconsidered the whole thing but I worry if I don't I will continue to struggle with my weight. Chatting with everyone online has helped me and hearing everyone's personal stories has given me the strength to go through with it.

Thank you both for replying. I'm waiting on insurance approval so I don't have a date yet. I was happy when I made the decision to have the gastric bypass because I felt like I was given a second chance but last week when I went to see my surgeon for the final visit before the surgery he told that my risk for gastric leak is higher because I had surgery before and that just killed my spirit. He didn't say that it will happen but he wanted me to know of the possibility that it could happen. I know with ever surgery comes a number of possible complications but I keep asking myself if i should put myself at risk, @abbybeep ...after all you have went through do you regret anything? I'm worried that if I don't go through with it I will the surgery I will regret it because I will continue to be over weight.

I'm so confused ... Had the sleeve done three years ago and lost 70lbs however I regained most of the weight back and I am now considering the bypass but i hear that revisions have higher risks for leakage so I really don't know if i should go through with the surgery.

Anyone have the sleeve to bypass revision? I had the sleeve done three years ago and now have regained most of the weight . I would like to have the bypass done but I'm scared. Im worried about the risks . They say your risk for leakage is higher and I'm just so lost now because i don't know if i should have the revision .

Thank you!!! I will post it there as well. I am new to this website so i'm still trying to get the hang of it.
