How are you doing with your revision?



Recommended Posts

I am at 46 lbs at 3.5 months since revision. I was told I am just barely under the average. My nutritionist said I should be at 64lbs lost at 6 months. She did say to expect a slower loss than someone who just had the bypass alone. No regrets this has been a fairly easy process so far.

Wow that's awesome! I'd take 46 lbs loss any minute. Can't wait for money beginning! Thank you for sharing, it's very encouraging:)

Since you are the expert, I need to lose at least 3 lbs for Thursday for my last weigh in with the dietitian for my supervised diet, even though I was good on my scale at home I gained 3 so I want to be safe. Any suggestions on how to drop 3 fast?

Hey Pinkgirl!

I actually did well at my weigh in so that was good. They submitted my paperwork to insurance on 3/18 still waiting... Really hoping I get approval first time around... I feel butterflies in my stomach

I just had the revision three weeks ago and am doing very well. I have lost 20 pounds and am starting the puree food stage. I have no cravings, very little interest in food. I am getting all my Protein, Water, and trying to walk enough. I had horrible diabetes and it went away the next day in the hospital. I went home with no diabetes meds!!

I hand my band to RNY on December 28 as you know...the first 3 weeks was tough because my revision was all in one and the band had done more damage...erosion.etc...I now feel great...no acid reflux ,no pain and no port site issues,no dumping.I feel great.I am losing slowly but steadily.I am ok with all foods.No problems.I actually feel really good.I need to get in the exercise and I struggle with getting my Water intake but I just feel great.Overall....all the hoops and steps to finally get this revision is proving to be definitely worth it....get it done...you will feel so much better!!!!!!

Oh i am so happy to read your story!

I'm having revision from band to bypass on April 19th and i am terrified!

My biggest fear is that i will never be able to est "normal" foods again....like a nice salad or grilled fish or beef. I dont care about large portions...just to have the variety.

Please tell me your experiences with eating now that you are about 4 months post op?

Cant wait to hear your story!

Great.I am losing slowly but steadily with a few stalls.I no longer suffer from all the complications and pain that I had with the band.I no longer have that constant ravenous hunger or the pain and vomiting etc...RNY is allowing me to take control.I am on a high protein...Paleo diet plan....sugar is cut out and I feel so clear headed and wonderful .

I had revision surgery on 2/2/16 and I can eat salads, fish and beef. Some people have a harder time with salads but I have no issues. I can't have sugar, especially something that has sugar and is liquid. Instant horrible nausea. I carry anti-nausea meds with me because I'm never quite sure when my tummy will not agree with what I ate. I'm making much better food choices now and I'm so happy. HW 259, CW 214

Has anyone had second thoughts about getting the surgery done? I'm so afraid of what is going to happen. Do anyone have any advice? I'm doing the bypass

I have not had mine yet just trying to support from someone that is going through it or that has had it done already. You see I have no one to talk to about this.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
