Hi there!

I am scheduled for Revision from lap band to gastric bypass on Dec. 12th. I am sooo nervous! I'm self paying so I'm going to Mexico, alone, for the surgery. Can anyone give me some information on how you are doing after your revision, like the recovery period and how much you have lost.

I'm really nervous because I was a complete failure with the lap band and I don't want another failed surgery.

I have not had my surgery yet, but I can relate to how you are feeling. I had lapband surgery in 2009. I struggled to lose weight, but at least I was losing. I started having problems when the band was adjusted (fluid added or taken out). I finally had the band taken out in April, but I had gained all the weight back by that point. I am now scheduled for RNY surgery on Dec 21st. I have so many questions too about recovery and rate of weight loss. Hopefully it won't be too bad since I do not have to deal with healing from the port (it was awful when it was taken out). Please keep us updated on how you are doing after your surgery.

Ok 😕 thanks for asking. These days are hard, but I’m sticking to it. 3 more pre-op days to go. Just trying to remember all the reasons I have for doing this when I’m starving!

I'm so sorry it is so tough on you. I'm glad you are able to focus on why you are doing this, so the time will hopefully move faster.

Thank you for your kind words! Did you have any surgery?

Not yet...I have my surgery on 12/21. I'm living vicariously through everyone else until it is my turn. I am learning so much by being on this forum. So many questions I had are being answered. The support is amazing!

Thank you! This forum is so different from FB. I'm so glad I am a part of it. I can't believe our dates are coming up so soon. I am trying to just take it one day at time so I do not over think the process. To be honest, my biggest concern is if and when to tell my extended family.

I completely agree!!!! I haven't told mine and I"m super nervous about it. I have been a huge person my whole life. I have also been an athlete until my late 20's so I fear that they may try to use that over my head by saying, "how can a person that was an athlete all their life end up needing weight loss surgery". That's my biggest fear. They don't understand. No one in my family is even close to my size. I am a freak of nature that is no longer a great athlete. I need help and this program and surgery is gonna help me with that. I sure hope they understand. Time will tell.

I sure wish you all the best of luck with your surgery and start of your new life. Go Git'm!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
