How are you doing with your revision?

Just want to get some feedback on how things are going for those that had revision from band to bypass (this is what I am going to be getting). What kind of progress are you making, how much weight have you lost since surgery? Loving it or hating it? Missing the band ;)? (I doubt I will ever miss mine)

I keep hearing that weight loss is slower after revision vs those that had bypass first time around. When I talked to my psych about it when I had psych eval he said he does not believe this to be the case, which was pretty encouraging. I am not looking for fast weight loss but my weight loss has been always extremely slow to none, so I am nervous.

Thank you for sharing

    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

    No regrets whatsoever...I regret not having bypass from the start!!!

I have no regrets. My only regret is not going with the bypass in the first place. I had multiple complications from the band and I woke up from surgery from the revision with no more pain caused by the band.

That is great. So the bypass is better than the band?

Oh by far! No comparison. I love it. You have to learn what you can and can't tolerate but your surgeon's office should help with that

How much weight have you lost if I may ask

I got up to 259 after I had to live with an unfilled band for a year and I'm at 214 currently. I'm 12 weeks post op

How much did you guys lose on the pre op diet? I am starting my liquid diet next week so just wondering...

I never had to do a pre-op diet. My liver has never been fatty. I did a 24 hour liquid the night before that was it
