Anyone else having Tummy tuck, breast lift/Aug in January?
Lynnlovesthebeach replied to Kris77's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I just had a tummy tuck, butt lift and brachioplasty Aug 25. My next step is breast lift and back lift early next year. It probably won't be Jan but hopefully soon. I still have an open wound on one arm and I need that to heal so I can get that scar revised. The arms were the hardest recovery I've had so far. I'm so happy I chose to have this surgery. I can say that now that I'm 9 weeks post op! -
Welcome to the forums. Don't think of whatever you do until you get your revision as a diet. You and I know that diets don't work. Think of it as your new eating plan that you will do for the rest of your life. Your band restricted portion size. Presumably you also had an eating plan to go with the smaller portion size. Return to the plan and return to portion size as best you can. Your plan was supposed to be for the rest of your life so get back on board. Your insurance is as likely to pay for your revision as it would if you never had surgery in the first place. Do the best you can. If you give up on your plan until you have surgery, well, then you very well may gain your weight back. Good luck, Tek

I had my Lap Band removed three years ago. Now, my weight is starting to come back. I couldn't have a revision done at the time of the removal because I was not overweight. I weighed 143 lbs. Now, I'm up to 162. I have an appointment with my surgeon about, hopefully, a revision surgery. My BMI is now 33. Has anyone had a revision years later? Did you insurance pay for it. I'm scared. I can't go back to 230 lbs. Thank you.

Anyone for October 2020?
bajankat replied to barbieater's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good Morning, I had my revision to bypass surgery yesterday morning. When I woke up I had no surgery pain. I was thinking it wasn't done until the GAS damn near killed me and still is. That gas pain ain't no joke, for those of you who haven't gotten surgery yet, make sure you get enough gas relief and walk. I walked around the unit 4 laps yesterday, the nurse told me not to overdo it.... over do it?! I'm walking this damn gas out and preferably out my butt 😁 which by the way isn't happening and the gas is stubborn. I'm belching tho but it's not moving. I did finally pass one little gas out this morning. I saw the doc this morning and he said my stomach was in my esophagus. Now when I get up gravity is taken place with my right incisions I'm using a towel to walk when I get home I'll use my binder -
Hi all. Long time lurker but first time posting 😆 I was ‘sleeved’ a few years back, was successful in losing some weight, though due to different circumstances regained a large portion of that weight and also developed qUite severe GERD. My surgeon has recommended the bypass for me which is now all booked in for December 2020. Feeling excited, nervous, fear of failure again etc. hoping for a smooth journey ahead and will definitely looking forward to being a part of this community. Thanks!

Sleeve to DS
GottaBeBlair replied to Happy Go Lucky's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi Kozyjozie! Of course you’d have to consult with a doc to see if you are a good candidate for revision but I was the same as you. I regained almost all of my weight after having a child. I chose a revision to DS versus RNY since VSG is the first step of a DS surgery. So when I was revised, they didn’t touch my tummy, just completed the intestinal procedure. Please note that far less data is available on revisions, so the outcome may not be as significant as you’d like it to be. I am losing less than I did with my original procedure but I am losing much more than I would have on my own. I suggest before you even jump down the rabbit hole to really figure out why you regained. And come to terms with the excuses, so you won’t repeat. I got therapy as well. Hope that helps! -

Sleeve to DS
kozyjozie replied to Happy Go Lucky's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hello everyone. I had the sleeve done august 17 2015. I lost 70 pounds in the first year. Little by little my weight started to come back. Now I’m the same weight I was before doing the surgery. Would this da revision be an option for me? I really would appreciate any advice you could give. I need to get healthy again. -

Anyone had a revision to original gastric bypass?
Jsteelecat replied to Jsteelecat's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hi Misty, I am in NYC. I saw Dr Chaio at Mercy Medical center on Long Island. He was the only one at the NY Bariatric group that would take my insurance. But the NY Bariatric group routinely does revision surgeries so if you have private insurance you can check them out! -

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 -
New Tastebuds
Starwarsandcupcakes replied to beautifullyblessed's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used to hate smooth peanut butter by itself (as opposed to in baked goods) and now find it’s ok with pretzels or on a wasa cracker. For a while after my VSG the only liquid aside from protein shakes I could drink was grape Powerade zero (super weird). After my revision though water tastes so good so it’s much easier now. There have definitely been times I craved something and it turned out to be just meh. I’m just glad I haven’t lost my love of spinach! And oddly, my tolerance for spicy foods has gone up and I enjoy it more. 🤷♀️ -
Revision to Bypass due to Gerd
Starwarsandcupcakes replied to Reina44's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Revision surgery was the best thing I ever did to reduce my GERD. I was only 8 months post VSG when I had my revision so still in weight loss so I can’t answer the question as to whether or not it’ll cause further weight loss for you. I’m almost 3 months post VSG to RNY revision and I’ll admit I only take my protonix when I remember and will be talking with my surgeon about discontinuing it at my next visit. Before revision surgery I was taking 2 40mg protonix, 60mg Pepcid, and upwards of 12 tums a day. I also no longer aspirate while sleeping and I don’t have any more hiccups that were worsening daily for over 4 months for which I’m sure my coworkers are also grateful! -
Revision to Bypass due to Gerd

I haven't had a revision, but hopefully this search link will help you, there are a number of posts about revision to bypass within the search link https://www.bariatricpal.com/search/?q=revision bypass -
I’m sorry your recovery was so rough! Congrats your losses so far and on getting through it. I recently revised from sleeve to DS myself.

Hello, I had the gastric sleeve September 2017 and I have lost about 60 lbs. I've had the worst issue with Gerd and taking medicine everyday sucks, also concerned with the long-term effects of the taking the medication. I had an EGD and have gastric sleeve stenosis and angulation of the incisura. Doctor says the only way to correct the issue is to have a gastric bypass. I am so nervous about doing this all over again and was scared that I would lose too much weight. He advised that I wouldn't lose that much. Can anyone give me details about their experience with their revision to Bypass? How was the transition?

Can anything be done after gastric bypass
Shonabear29 replied to deannaculp's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I'm 8 years out and started gaining after the loss of my oldest son and being in a car accident a year ago. There is revision surgery for us that had the rny. I'm been studying it. Before I do it though I want to see if I can lose on my own. So I have gone back to the basics where I was at week 2 post op. I've lost 3 lbs in a week. Having a hard time getting water in but I'm trying. Also I'm walking 30 minutes a day. I'm tracking everything. Need to go buy a new scale though. I don't know where I misplaced the one I had.

Only popped back in now, I’m two years since my MSG revision. I’ve spent the last year hanging around 84 kgs so I’ve another 20 to go (was 135kg at MSG surgery). I have to get back on track as I know how to cheat 🤣

once you are approved you are good. I was a 44bmi with no co's..... my doc said to not lose a pound till i did. Then after i was approved i could lose if i wanted to. On the 2 week liq diet i lost more than 10lbs. When i got then sleeve my bmi was 31(8/28/19) with no co's, but even though it was done 2.5 years after band removal it still was considered a revision. He noted my chart with my first bmi of 44 (2009), what i had gotten too 26 (2017) with the band. Of course, my insurance didn't cover the removal or the sleeve.... 14k out of pocket for the sleeve. I am so grateful...... my bmi is now a 21. 5'2" 120lbs
