I’ve been hearing a lot about the revision from sleeve? You and I are both at the start weight of 212 did something happen with th sleeve that now you are getting the bypass. I ask because my surgery is April 11th and I’m getting the sleeve.

In 2014 I was 272. The sleeve was my first choice. I was very anemic at that time. The bypass could have possibly killing me.
I am more balance mentally and physically today. Found out that the shape of my stomach is not correct. This alone has cause GERD. I also have a hernia and a few other things.
So, it's time for me to move on, heal and lose additional weight. I am just happy to have this second chance.

So who is on April 4? I know there’s a ton of us. Anyone in the LA area? I’m nervous for my surgery even though I’ve had a sleeve so I’ve basically done this before.

I feel I have so much to learn even though I have done sooo much research! You can get the sleeve done again?

      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!!
