Moving forward in the revision process. I will have my Lap-band removed Feb 5th. Unfortunately my surgeon will not do revision at the same time. I have to wait 3 months for my stomach to completely heal (according to their office). During that time I'll be on my 3 month medically monitored diet. Yesterday I met with the dr, the nutritionist, and had my psych evaluation done....and all was good. Now I have to get cleared from a cardiologist which they're scheduling, and have a pulmonary function test. Then once the medically supervised diet is 3 months in, they will submit it all to insurance and hopefully (fingers crossed), I'll be having my revision in June or July. At least I'm hopeful. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. For those who have done the 3 month monitored diet.....what helped you? What were your go to foods? I need all the help I can get right now!

When I revised I had about 2.5 months between removal of the band and the sleeve. i didn't need to do the medically supervised diet, but obviously I didn't want to gain! I had felt that the band was not working, but after removal, I was incredibly hungry 24/7. I don't know if that is a common occurance, but I would be prepared to meet with your NUT or some other knowledgable person if that happens. I wound up going low carb and did manage to maintain...

Yeah they had to take all the fluid out of my band so right now I have 0 restriction so I already feel hungry all the time. I've gained about 15 lbs since they took the fluid out. But I met with a nutritionist yesterday and I meet with my GP next week for the medically supervised diet. I'm so nervous cause right now I feel like I cannot satisfy my hunger at all. But I've started making healthy substitutions which should help. Just need a little more control. But having to be accountable will be a huge help.
