REvised surgery



Recommended Posts

Well I go in Monday for a revision on my band. They are calling it a stomach prolapse. So in other words my band slipped-Right? I just hope once they get in there they don't find anything to cause them to take it completely out. I have been vomiting for a few months now and the surgeon hasn't been in any hurry to do anything about it. He completely emptied the band hoping that would correct things-NOT! It has been so bad I sometimes hope they will take it out, but then again have loved the weight it has helped me get off. I know if I would have it off I would gain it all back because I could eat all the things I have been craving and can't eat with the band as it makes me sick-in one bite! So I will keep you posted on what the outcome is-I guess it is out patient surgery! (drive by surgery I call it)

Well I survived a 3 hour revision surgery and feel like my inners may come out-but I haven't had heartburn or burping everything up. Time will heal-my worst fear was to lose the band toatlly and I didn't do that, so I'm happy once I feel better that is. Small sips and pain medication are my friends right now!

So glad you're on your way to recovery. I had a revision 7 wks after my original surgery, so I feel you pain. Rest up and take it easy.

After reading all of the negative posts about the terrible things that can happen once banded, I am contemplating gastric bypass or something a little more invasive than the lapband. Are my fears unfounded or do the statistics hold true? I know there are a ton of folks who post on this site so I hope that statistics hold through. I do not want to be disembowled by a gastric bypass, just too risky. HELP:omg:

Hey Buck!

Welcome to LBT!

This is the sort of thing that you should start your own, new thread for...

Go to the forum page that you want:

support or general, I would think

Once you get to that forum page, there should be a "Start New Thread" button at the top left of your screen.

Click that and you are on your way! (or you can read some old threads of a similar nature. There are always several of the "which surgery to choose" type of threads. **Hint** around these parts, folks almost always say that the Band Rocks!!

Good Luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
