Hi missmachine, I am scheduled for a sleeve to bypass revision on 8/1...I am looking for the same answers as you...i was also guided to the other thread with no response so far...I would love to stay in touch with you since we are pretty much alone in this revision right now...you can PM me if you want or I will PM you my email...good luck and stay in touch..vicki

Im glad I found this thread..I hope some still come here...I am being revised on aug 1st, had the band then the sleeve, now bypass....I too am so very scared...It looks like not too many revisions on here and not alot of chat...Misslala05 did you have your surgery yet? Anyone? any information appreciated!!

Thank you oldeoneyoungagain....i will go searching now...this is scary since there are not many, i just wonder how experienced the drs are and what the stats are that lie ahead...?

Thanks kristy, someone else said there was a thread, but I can't find it....

Just wondering if I am the only revision from sleeve to bypass....I wish i could connect with someone who has or is going to go thru this...anyone? Feeling so alone...

I am worried about loose skin and looking old....well older....

Awesome!! thank you Tina~~~

August 1st!!!

Oh noooo...I cant imagine...im having surg on aug 1 and im having an incisional and hiatal hernia done the same day...cant imaging going back in so soon... good luck and feel better soon..

wow really? Im having surg on aug 1st and if it is restrictive, then why not the sleeve? whats the purpose of re-routing

Oh... I wonder if I have to do that...ugh...will see him on tues.... :ph34r:

Aug 1st..Im terrified too.....

Good luck Country girl, im sure you will be so glad the wait (weight) is over..lol...I know i cant wait...good luck on mon. I will be thinking about your and following your progress....

Omg....your story is my story except my drug of choice is diet pepsi....1st thing in the morning, last thing at nite and everywhere I go!! I have weaned down to one 24 oz bottle of regular diet in the morn. But drink caffiene free all day.. I also love the fizz and the taste mmmmmmm . No matter whate I have tried, doesn't do it for me...sigh.... if u find a cola anonomous, let me know I need it too....

Thanks Molly, I have an appt on tues. and I think he will do either one since he offered me the option last time I saw him...Im so nervous...I wish I could get excited like most on the site...maybe once the wt starts coming off...And yes, I know about barrets and esophogeal cancer, i asked him to scope me last month because the reflux is so bad....When is your surgery?

I know, Im going to be 57 in Nov, and I feel like I'm too old to be going thru all of this..but then again, I have diabetes, bad knees , high BP etc..so , not going so good this way either...dumping might be my best friend when I come to think of it, I love sweets...

anyone from buffalo who had dr. hoffman a BGH

thanks soccer mom..looks like you have done great on your wt loss journey!

Hi, Im new here and I hate to type so I will make this as short as possible...I was banded in 2008, prolapsed in march of 2010 and sleeved on nov 1 of 2010...well not sleeved, I had so much scar tissue they couldnt complete it...sooo now I am going into the OR again on aug 1st to be sleeved since the doc thinks he can get around the scar tissue....except, now im thinking about doing bypass..i have terrible reflux and honestly, I dont want to do this anymore...I just want this 5yr nightmare to be over...I have an appt with the doc on tues and I think I will tell him my feelings and see what he says...I am afraid of the surgery itself, and I am afraid of the unknown.."dumping syndrome" which may be good for me cuz I like my sweets...lol...but it sounds horrible, sweats, shakes, fainting etc...and vit. def. etc...I would just love anyones feedback on their exp. with bypass..and anyone who was revised from sleeve to bypass...

I got mine on my Nook...very informative, I would recommend it for anyone Pre or Post op! I would say it is as important as your measuring cups, scale, and protein shakes!!

I'm scared as well but somebody on here told me that if you weren't scared you wouldn't be normal and a little bit of fear is healthy so we will hold hands and walk through this journey together ...

I am august 1st!!!...I would love to have all of guys as my sleeve buddies! I think Im first...right? Im doing south beach the week before surg..I stopped drinking diet pepsi reg..but im still drinking caffiene free diet pepsi..figure i will just give it up the day before surg..glad to know you all!
