Reflux 11 Days Post Op
Lynda486 replied to SassyCassie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What surgery did you have? I had reflux for many years before I had a revision in Sept. What I did was not eat after 7 pm (this one will depend on when you go to bed) elevate your mattress or prop yourself up on many pillows. Avoid spicey foods and all that jazz. Do call your surgeons office and they may up your Omeprazole dosage. I was taking 40 mg every morning. Hope you feel better soon! -
I have 1-2 drinks maybe 3-5 days a week. Some days I have 1 daily. Occasionally I have more like when I went to Vegas. I just make sure I’m not driving because how it hits me is unpredictable and I make sure I use low calorie mixers and include it in my daily macros. I found FitVine and it’s damn good wine for lower carbs and keeps the alcohol content like normal wines. After my sleeve my first drink was about 3 months out (had 1 for thanksgiving). After sleeve revision I waited a couple months. I’ve had a complication that’s either ulcers or something else (getting my cat scanned Thursday). So for now I’ve put away all coffee, alcohol and most caffeine but I’m a slave to Diet Coke so I have one every other day. I’m secretly hoping it’s some easy to fix complication vs ulcers because I desperately need to start using my topical NSAID for a double shoulder repair. No pain meds and I’m suffering!

Getting a Revision - but OMG NOT because of weight regain!!!!
KateBruin replied to summerset's topic in Rants & Raves
I needed revision. NEEDED. I make the distinction for anyone who is in my shoes and contemplating revision. I did regain 50 lbs but it was purely because of high dose steroids for 5 months. The journey is different when it’s weight regain revision vs medical revision. -
Getting a Revision - but OMG NOT because of weight regain!!!!
summerset replied to summerset's topic in Rants & Raves
I think this question is not easy to answer in many cases. Reflux is a common reason people are getting bypassed after having been sleeved or banded. Lack of weight loss or weight regain is another. However, I don't know what the most common reason is. Anyway, it's always a question of "What does the patient want and what does the patient want to live with forever and what risks is the patient going to take by having another surgery or by not having another surgery". So decision to get a revision can for sure take its time. I'm still on the fence if I should take the risk of another surgery (hiatoplastic, gastropexia, maybe even changing the anastomosis, depending on what they see during surgery) or if I should live with it the way it is and get control gastroscopies yearly. Since there is no guarantee that everything will be fine and dandy after another surgery, I'm very hesitant and regardless of what I will choose in the end, I won't rush it (luckily there doesn't seem to be a need to) and nothing will happen before January or February anyway regarding another surgery. I simply need time to come to terms with all of this. "The process of a revision". I'm not sure what you mean here. Insurance issues? If so, it seems to depend on insurance and the reason for revision if that is a major hurdle or not. I can't contribute anything useful to this since insurance system in Germany is quite different from that e. g. in the US. However, everything revision starts with a visit at the surgeon's office and then you go from there. -
ASMBS Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Numbers Estimate for 2018
AZhiker replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Very interesting how the sleeve is gaining momentum. Also interesting that as the band % goes down, the revision rate goes up. The band just didn't measure up over time. I wonder what the actual revisions are: band to RNY, sleeve to RNY, Band to sleeve? -

Leademo replied to summerset's topic in Rants & Raves
I got my surgery in 2016 and lost 60 pounds but then I lost my oldest brother my oldest granddaughter and my twin brother in a nine month period And then I lost my mother the next year whom I have taken care of for years, unfortunately I picked up some of my bad eating habits and I really have only gained 15 pounds back, I’m sure I just need to get back on track. How do you tell if you need a revision? -

JessLess replied to summerset's topic in Rants & Raves
I’m sure my male friend who is not here would not mind me posting this. He started at 500 lbs. got sleeved, and got down to 400. He still ate a lot of really fattening food. He stalled. He and a doctor decided he should get a revision to bypass so he might be able to lose more. I’m afraid he will hurt himself with food, but I’ll support him in whatever he does. His revision was about a month ago. -
I was sleeved march 2013 lost 90 lbs now gained 25 lb Back. I can eat a whole pizza if I want I have no restriction. I messed up I know that. I’m having revision next week. I am scheduled for a resleeve. Has anyone been resleeved and what were ur results

Feeling of awful anxiety since surgery
ren0318 posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I'm a week out from revision, sleeve to bypass due to reflux. I'm an emotional mess....every moment I want to cry for no reason. I don't know if some of my meds are not being absorbed correctly. But I can't take this..I'm normally pretty upbeat, but someone can look at me and I start to cry. Feel like I can't catch my breath, depressed, I'm going to call my family dr on Monday to see if my meds are they should be...but man I'm a mess...any suggestions? -
Hi everyone! So in July I was revised from the sleeve to the bypass. Fast forward 3 months and starting later this week I've started experiencing pins and needles and slight numbness in my abdomen through my legs on both sides. I got my lab work completed today by my surgeon. Have any of you ever experienced this? Please help. I'm a little on edge over what's going on.

1. My personal goal for this month is to get back to regular exercise, even though it's not part of the challenge. Also, to clean up my diet. I've been having a self-indulgent little pity party going on since August and it needs to stop, 2. I had the sleeve Feb, 2018. Revision to Rny last Halloween. Maintaining 3. 151#, 24 bmi 4. Besides my family (given!) I'm most grateful for getting a "reset" button for my health and the possibilities that opens up for me.

Anyone had a revision to a Long Limb Bypass?
RCompound posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Hello All, First Post! Found this forum very recently, had WLS 10 years and one month ago. Lost 200 pounds but gained back 100 of it. Now I'm 11 days away from having a revision to my RNY to something called a "Long Limb Bypass." Has anyone here had that done and how did it go for you? Thank you! -
Changing Habits Prior to Surgery
JRT Mom replied to Lauren87's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Lauren87- This is a great post! I am just like you. Got a lap band about 10 years ago and it worked great--until it didn't. Now I have to get it removed and want to revise to a RNY. I've developed a touch of diabetes in the last few months and have tried to give up sugar, which will help with both my diabetes and learning not to eat sweets after the bypass. Sometimes I slide a bit, but after the bypass I imagine a bad dumping will change that! Anyway, good luck with your decision, and visit here often. The peeps are funny, smart, supportive and the best bunch of friends I have NEVER met! -
Getting a Revision - but OMG NOT because of weight regain!!!!
GreenTealael replied to summerset's topic in Rants & Raves
**********NECROPOSTING ALERT*********** I TOTALLY MISSED THIS WHOLE THREAD Probably because on 7/15 I was in the hospital being revised from VSG to RNY and NOT FOR REGAIN 😂 I don't know why others post the way they do but, the reason I chose to include that bit of info is because: I didn't want to assume everyone knows my whole story (some people may have just joined that day etc) I wanted to be clear as possible so when some one runs a search for info here on BP they find exactly what they are looking for I wanted to share my specific experience and because the stories/ questions/ support/ techniques/ insurance rules/ *plans/ *preop /*postop may change vastly depending on why you need a revision its not helpful to lump it together. Can you imagine being asked nonstop in DMs if you lost all of your excess weight then having to explain you didnt have any excess weight/ you were at goal already Or never being asked if your stenosis was properly bypassed/GERD resolved/ torsion corrected/anatomy fixed because no one knew that was the reason for the revision. Or telling people that insurance approved it in 48 hrs, but not explaining that it was likely because it was emergent in my case and highly unlikely to get approved that quick or even the first time on a weight regain only case. For me it was about clarity & I hope my input helped 💙 -

Seeking Boston surgeon for revision
RickM replied to onmyway11's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
For a "classic" BPD/DS, I'm not aware of any surgeons in the Boston area that do them - the closest would be in the NY/NJ/PA area where there are several good ones to choose from (Roslin, Greenbaum, Pomp, Herron, Bonnani that I can think of). The SIPS is a newer and simpler procedure so more surgeons are capable of doing it, but experience and technique with it is a big variable with those who have started to offer it, so you need to take a good look at how their post-ops are doing. Unfortunately, being a fairly new procedure, there aren't the number of people around who have had it for a few years as there are with the BPD/DS which has been around for some thirty years or so. Good luck in your revision! -
As of now I'm scheduled for a revision from a lap band to RNY on Nov 20. Fingers crossed!

My surgery date is November 13th = revision from lap band to gastric sleeve. I start my 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow 😟. 2 protein shakes and lean meat w/non-starchy vegetables.

Sleeve revision to RNY or Bypass reason
WOLVESFAN1 replied to AchieveGoals's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
GERD is horrible. I'm actually aspirating food into my lungs at times. Pills I take will come back whole an hour later. I'm scheduled for revision on 12/17. I had my sleeve over 12 years ago and have kept my weight off. I've lost over a 100 pounds and I currently wear 4/6. I'm actually losing more because nothing is staying down.
