Revision date Aug 20!! Lapband didn't fail, but after 2 years starting developing aspiration pneumonias. It look 6 more years and a pulmonoscopy to determine it was all terrible reflux! So at age 64 I am having a revision! Anything to not be sick and to stop the reflux & heartburn! Can't wait!!!

I'm the 1st of August and am revising from a sleeve to the bypass for similar reasons. I woke up with a stricture right after surgery is 2012 and the reflux is so bad that it's eroding my esophagus where the stricture still is. I haven't eaten solid food since 2012 and can't wait for the pain to stop. My surgeon is/was worried that I'd develop esophageal cancer without revising and I'm 21. Good luck to you, I hope this fixes our awful reflux.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
