I have aetna EPO. I wonder if I qualify for a revision. Do you have a diagnosis code. Mitsy

Hello I hope you are doing. Congratulations on the revision of the Gastric Bypass. If you would not mind sharing the name of the surgeon who conducted your revision in case I experience the same issue and may need to seek further medical support. Are you in NYC? Misty

No. I am not dumping.

Hi Welcome to the family. I also had the lapband the gastric bypass. It will last 3 to 4 weeks before you feel better.

delphina can you share your surgeon if you are in nyc. Thanks Missy

Hi delphina I cannot believe that after going through a gastric bypass does that mean that I may have to go through a revision? It is sad that through all the challenges with our weight we still have to battle with weight gain. I too have beem gaining weight. I have done everything to monitor my food intake and still see the dial go up and up. Missy

Hello I try to drink my protein shakes straight but for the most part i put it in my coffee too.which prevents me to add coffee.

Hello I know the feeling, at times my apetite is bigger than other days. I always try my best to remain mondful & positive. The only issue I have is that my stomach and brain does not communicate. I eat based on sight and time. So what I see I eat. I keep air popped popcorn in the house, fruits, and I meal prep. Alongside to my protein shakes Always treat each day individually. If you fail one day, know your mistakes dust yourself off and do better the next day. Only you can deal with these challenges. I am here for you. Missy

Hi If anyone has low calorie meal plan ideas to share do. I enjoy meal planning for the week.

Hi abbie Let me start by saying do not have regrets nor have discouragement. U can tweek the eating habits make a reversal and come out winning. Do you write down what you eat everyday & monitor your calorie? Allow me to share, i use carb manager. It is awesome. You can upload the app in your phone. Possibly include some walking? In addition, are you including protein in your diet?

I have been 4 years post op with my gastric bypass underwent in 2016. Since this global pandemic I have gained weight due to the ability of working from home, stress, fear and the lack of exercise. I am slowly trying to fight against the challenges now the past 2 weeks such as discipline myself again to healthy eating, protein shakes, water intake and going to the gym 3 x a week. What exercise recommendations can you shed on me which will allow me to burn fat most, lose weight and allow me to meet my goal. I am so close I can taste it. Best missy

Hi Marcie First we have to get to the bottom of why you feel it was a waste of time? What is causing you to remain focused on your health and avoid the backslide. Missy

Rachel You will eventually receive a call within 2 to 3 weeks. God willing you will be going for surgery towards the end of October unless if your insurance company requires other guidances in effort to rule out that the surgery is medically necessary. What insurance do you have? What state? Missy

Hello Hope all is well. What type of surgery did you get? How many months post op are you?

Hi Rachel I can relate with anxiety and depresiion as a Functional individual. One thing that I can exprezs which i always remind myself each and everyday is that no matter what you do, what you say never have regrets. For the most time through the WLS journey i never regretted anything despite of any challenges. Missy
