Hi all! I am currently deciding to moving forward with gastric revision option. I had the sleeve originally. I was 287 lbs the day of my surgery My lowest weight was 130 and im back up to 185. I had a lifestyle, I chose exercise over food to cope. I was strong and I was so happy. Then it all changed!!!! I was diagnosed as bipolar and throughout the ‘learning’ curves of depression & the medication (which is known for weight gain) i lost my way health and nutrition wise. My depression consumed me and my I was taking meds notorious for weight loss. This along with my first detrimental ‘episode’ led to old bad habit. I see a psychiatrist monthly & psychologist weekly. Ive tried everything to loose weight but nothing worked. So now I want to know about some of your experiences! I am only 28 years old I want to run up the stairs without exhaustion, I’m getting married in the near future, I want kids. I want my lifestyle back I want to be a role model. I want to take my life back , a second chance, and live a happy life. I’ve searched everywhere but I haven’t found any information regarding treatment Resistant Depression & the ECT therapy. •Is it possible to do electroconvulsive therapy & surgery??? Has you done ECT AFTER surgery? / BEFORE surgery? •Has anyone had experience or success as a bipolar candidate? /// What did your surgeon think or say in the matter? •Has anyone had electroconvulsive therapy ( ECT) and Bariatric surgery?? -
Anyone had full bypass surgery??
allies journey replied to allies journey's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Wow that is awesome news. Sounds like you are doing a great job. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I realize that everyone's surgery and experience is different but knowing what others have been through really does help. When I had the sleeve I had absolutely no problems at all and some people have a really hard time. I have a very high tolerance for pain thankfully. Please keep me posted on your journey and good luck. I had a EGD WITH BRAVO test this past Tuesday and am hoping it is going to be enough for the insurances to get approval for the RNY revision surgery and that it won't take too long to be scheduled for the surgery. Thanks again, Allie Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
7 weeks out from Sleeve to RNY...what are you eating? How many calories??
claricey posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm curious about what others may be eating at about 7 weeks out from surgery. I'm around 700 calories per day with a 50% protein 20% fat 30% carb ratio. I had a revision from sleeve to RNY and after the initial 20 pounds lost the rest is coming off extremely slowly. Its hard to get the 75-90 grams of protein in without relying on 2 shakes a day. I'm looking for tips on what to eat to get my protein in with eating 3-4 small meals per day. (1/2 a shake or no shake if possible) Thanks in advance for sharing! -

Revision of RNY
Losingit2018 replied to Notthe1sttime's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I am going to follow this as I have not yet heard of a bypass being revised. Good luck in whatever you choose. The weight loss battle is a very difficult one. -
So, here's the deal. I had RNY gastric bypass 20 years ago. I probably lost about 80lbs, I remember distinctly never weighing less than 200lbs. In the last 20 years, I've gained all of the weight back. About 5 years ago, I found out that WLS could be revised. After some research, I recently decided to pursue a revision. I have a consultation with a surgeon scheduled this Friday. I would like to hear from anyone who had an RNY gastric bypass revised. What was the experience like? What procedure did your surgeon choose for you? Tell me about your outcomes. Thank in advance

Maybe a revision to rny? Sorry for your loss!

Why are you doing the revision? What is your BMI? What type of surgery did you do previously? I am working on the samething. For me it means more testing. Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was denied in 24 hours for my revision. My surgeon stated that she is going to do an appeal however she used a different word was to upset to remember the word. I know it starts with a P. Oh well life goes on time to get some diet pills.

Anyone have blue cross blue shield (federal) that has had revision or going thru the process? I am trying to get options/opinions.. I have about 6 months before I will be able to do this (pregnancy) but my gerd has been a monster for the last year and even worse with this pregnancy.. I have only gained 7 lbs so not worried about weight loss issue, although it will be helpful after my pregnancy to lose the additional baby weight.. called my insurance today and I think they were confused on what I was asking.. I just want to know what I have to do to be covered by my insurance to have revision done??

My date was April 22nd Revised from band to sleeve 🤓

My information was submitted to my insurance company today for my revision from sleeve to bypass. I am praying that I get an approval fast, so ready for this surgery to work this time. I graduate in July with my BS and hoping that I am well after the surgery to walk across the stage. Praying I get approved and have the surgery in May. My surgeon stated that my insurance company takes about a month for approval praying it doesn’t take a month for approval.

So I won the lawsuit against SLIMBAND IN TORONTO how do i collect
Travelher replied to ppaja60@gmail.com's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Kiko1970. Just go to your doctor and get a referral to have it removed. I know lots of people who’ve had removal and revision to bypass through ohip (bariatric network). I paid to have mine revised, privately , because I couldn’t wait (was aspirating in my sleep). But former banders make up a significant number of the patients in the Ontario bariatric network. -
Hi had my revision from band to bypass April 1st. Having issues with amount I should be eating.

I'm sorry you are having a tough time. I second @ProudGrammy's advice. Give your pouch a second chance! Work on your head right now, not healing from another surgery. Weightloss after a revision isn't a slam dunk. Go to therapy. Go to group sessions WLS support groups locally, go to OA (overeaters anonymous). Find a way to get your head back in the game and refocus on losing your present regain. Go back to the basic rules of your forever diet from your surgeon. Many vets here lose all of their regain! You can do it!

February 2019 weight loss buds
taylormomto6 replied to TheMarine79's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I know I would be able to increase the amount I can eat. I have to be vigilant making sure I keep portions low or I don’t lose. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a revision or some other stupid reason. Froufrou- I seem to have to keep calories low, between 600-700 to lose well. I may do better if I were even lower, but I can’t seem to get it lower and get 50-60g of protein. I think I’m going to buy the unflavored Genpro powder since I hear it has 30g of protein and only 60 calories for about a tablespoon and is nearly tasteless. As far a what you’re supposed to be eating...protein first, then veggies and they say carbs last, but I don’t do a starch on my plate as a rule. I have however had the tiny corn tortillas in street tacos a couple of times. I think they have 7 carbs in each one. Street tacos come with 2 tortillas and I have tossed one, so only eating one of them but honestly they are a waste of calories/carbs without much nutritional benefit. We are supposed to only be eating things that have good nutritional benefits at this point. I am finding that I have to stay focused or I will push the boundaries far enough to just maintain my weight. I have a hard time with my fat brain at night, urging me to eat something, never bad stuff, just yogurt or cheese and almonds, but still calories I don’t need because I’m not hungry and definitely don’t need to eat before going to sleep. It’s an ongoing struggle for sure. -
Gastric Sleeve to Bypass revision
CharlotteWebb replied to Chaelove0810's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I am super stoked that I am Revising from VSG to RNY this coming Friday. I am not doing it for weight loss alone. I have terrible bleeding reflux and 2 hiatal hernias. I am optimistic this will fix if not eliminate the majority of these issues. After the VSG I experienced esophageal strictures as well as 2 bowel obstructions. Ready for the VSG nightmare to be over! -
My surgery was on April 23 and I am feeling great (compared to what I expected). I had lap band done in 2009 and did great with it....until I didn't (it slipped). I decided to have a revision to the sleeve. My husband has been very supportive throughout the whole process. Tonight while I was talking post op diet with him, he kind of "confessed" that he was worried that we were not going to enjoy our nights-out ever again. Our kids are leaving the nest and we were enjoying our date nights and trying different restaurants around town. I think he was enjoying the feeling of DATING AGAIN! lol! So to help ease his mind, can I get someone to weigh in on what it will look like for us to eat out from this point on? (after the liquids are done of course). Will it be similar to lap band? If so, I was able to eat out and enjoy myself. Can I enjoy a glass of wine with my man? Some of the posts we have read are almost like, "FAREWELL FOOD, we are breaking up!" Like food isn't going to be a part of my life anymore. I know logically that isn't true, but I'd love to hear what those of you who are 6+ months post op are eating at restaurants? I'm traveling to the Bahamas when I will be 2 months out... will I be able to eat there?

Sorry I hit send. Does anyone have any idea if dumping is worse with revision. ? -
I’m scheduled for revision May 3rd. Mint makes my Gerd ten times worse. I love my sleeve and did so well with the weight loss but the GERD is brutal. Very nervous about the Bypass.
