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

I feel great though i have not met my goal which was primarily my fault. I stalled by eating incorrectly snacking, not drinking protein. But I have been disxoplined now. Im going to the gym, taking my vitamins, drinking my water, doing my shakes. I have no regrets at all. I underwent the first WLS in 2009 and it was the lapband. I loss the largest bulk of my weight from 2009 through 2015. Though i faced a plateau for one year due to an erosion of my stomach i gained some weight back but i still had no regrets. If i ever need to reconsider i would do it again But this time around I realized that i need discipline so i put myselt on Intermittent fasting.

Its important that you take your pain meds, walk to keep the circulation throughout your body. Its ok not to go outdoors but at least walk around the house slowly. Missy

Hello Congratulations on the surgery and best of luck in your journey. I had my gastric bypass in 2016. If you have questions do not hesitate to post. I hope to assist. Missy

From my experience at least 1 month will allow you to heal and become more mobile in effort to handle the energy with your babies. Missy

Hello, I have been drinking protein shakes as a meal supplement and I am having a hard time moving my bowels. What laxative will help me with flow in my bowel movement.

Hello I know that protein shakes is a challenge to like but protein is required. Some other options that have a soft texture are chabani non fat at 90 calories greek yogurt and cottage cheese I really like protein premier shake. It is 160 cal 30 gms of protein. My fav flavor is vanilla and caramel Hope my recommendations help. Missy

Hello Yes, i had a revision In 2009 i underwent the lap band procedure. The weight loss was successfully but my food intake was poor. I regurgitated alot. In 2015, i developed an erosion around the stomach and they had to remove my band. They restored my stomach for a few months with meds In 2016, i underwent a revision which was a gastric bypass. I loss weight but 4 years later I am at a stAll.

You are in the category of being evaluated and potentially become approved for surgery.

Hi sarAh I know you may feel overwhelmed and the liquid diet can cause some withdrawals to old habits but push yourself for a lifestyle change that will improve your health with 1 simple tool. Start by having a premier protein in the morning i love caramel. It taste yummy. Then plan out your entire day. I hope this information helps.

Congrats
