Irene revised due to uncontrolled reflux. I can't recall her screen name, it has diva and Irene in it - she is a great resource.

Hi there. I am in the process of revising from sleeve to bypass. I had lost 100lbs in the first year of the sleeve which was great but then immediately gained it all back. I'm now, right back where I started. Due to my insurance I have to do 6mo physician supervised weight loss attempt. 4mos left to go. I'm hoping I'll be able to revise in July.

Nice to meet someone that's going through this process I only lost 50lbs with the sleeve then my sleeve became non functioning I have a hustle hernia in my sleeve and an extreme case of GERDS that has caused me to have an erosive esophagus... Because I'm in such bad shape it only took my insurance 5 days to approve me I'll be revised on March 16th...I'm excited but terrified at the same time

Following. I had the VSG in 2012. I initially lost 125 lbs. I have gained 25 back. I have terrible reflux. I had an EGD on Friday and the GI doc said he expects to recommend a revision to the full bypass. I have no idea what to expect as far as eating differences, recovery time, and if it is possible to lose additional weight. My surgeon said he usually only sees a 15-20 lb additional weight loss from a revision. Thoughts?

I only weigh 110lbs because I revised from band to sleeve, but now I have a stricture (3months post op). Last night my surgeon did emergency dialation but said if it doesn't work he will have to do a bypass. When will this nightmare end? Is there anyone out there with the same problem?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
