I had the sleeve done in 2009 and I lost about 70lbs but in the past year I have regained most of the weight back. I am now in the process of doing all the pre testing to do the bypass but i have so many concerns that I'm just confused as to weather I should have the surgery. I keep hearing that having revision surgery puts you at a higher risk for complications and gastric leak. I keep telling myself that its just like having any other surgery and there will always be a risk but I'm still scared to death. Has anyone here had sleeve to gastric bypass revision? I hope to here from someone just to hear from someone that had gone through the experience and maybe can share some pointers.

I'm trying to be positive' date=' my lowest with he band was 163 and I would be estatic getting to that again. I had the band removed and I was at 180 , my surgeon wouldn't touch me for 6 months and I gained 28 lbs to 208. My sugars started to rise and I was eating healthy, I know for me it's all about portion control. I was 208 at prep diet start and 194 at surgery Aug 8th and I'm only down to 182. I have been logging my calories and it says not enough. I am about 800 calories a day.it has to start soon, out of choices.[/quote']

Keep me posted

Maybe we can learn from each other

I pretty much try to follow a high Protein version of the old weight watchers core program. Its basically nothing processed or high in fat.

Lean meats veggies fruits grains and legumes.

It was working before surgery but not now :-(

Hi all! I'm finally out of the hospital as of Tuesday! I was there almost 2.5 weeks. Whew! Being home is such a blessing. No one coming to draw blood, take my blood pressure at 2am, etc.

I was borderline depressed while in the hospital. I've been going through so much since my first sleeve surgery in Aug. I'm finally ready to take my life back. Things are getting much better day by day....

HI Candace... I'm so glad youre home. It only gets better from here. Hang in there.

Thanks for keeping the thread alive mlola... and congradulations Candace (nothing better than being home and getting your life back)

For me... still struggling with weight loss. I'm pretty discouraged at times. Its been 1 month since surgery. If I watch every calorie I put in my body and work out religiously, I seem to be able to loose about 1lb per week. I could do that before the revision. I get really scared I just gave myself a malabsorption/dumping problem for absolutly no reason. Ugh....

I feel quite whiny when I post these thing.... sorry

Are others having this issue?

Omg you sound just like me. I started the pre op diet for two weeks, had surgery, went to my one week appt and had lost 25 lbs. Here I am 7 weeks later down only 4 more. Very discouraged. I bike 5 miles a day and 25 minutes on the elliptical Ughhhh

Sorry to hear youre haveing the same trouble Mary. I was sure hoping this was going to be the last step in getting there.

Youre doing a great job with your activity. I could probably use a boost there. Its easy to get discouraged though.

I keep telling myself that i can choose where i want to be in 12 weeks... I have 3 choices...

12 lbs lost

No lbs lost

Lbs gained

I know it seems a simple mantra, but it helps me stay focused. I have a real hard time staying on track when im loosing 1/2 lb at time.

I am still holding out hope that the weight loss is going to pick up a bit. I sure hope tbe same for you!!!!

If you figure out how to pick up the pace let us know.

I eat lean Protein with veggies fruit dairy and a small amount of whole grains and legumes

Whole foods only, nothing processed.

Take care and hang in there!!!!!
