Hi Alex,

I'm wondering if there is anything that can be done for someone in a case such as mine who has had two bariatric procedures done?

I had my lap band in May 2013 and still was ~150 lbs lighter when I had my revision-to-gastric sleeve done 2 weeks ago on August 24th... it seems like I'm only able to merge the info together which either makes it look like I had the gastric sleeve done in 2013 OR that I lost 160+ lbs in 2 weeks :lol::blink: while it's pretty funny it also makes my history appear very misleading.

Thank you!

i have seen similar situations on the board

why not try something like

DOS

May 06 2013 - lapband

SW weight

#s loss 150

DOS

Augusts 24, 2016

revision to gastric sleeve

SW 209

(i think i messed up #s somewhere :( )

#s loss

GW

make 2 tickers

first could show # lbs lost with lapband

2nd ticker showing SW with gastric sleeve

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
