?????????????????????

Not many may know but I require a revision from VSG to RNY. There are several reasons but none are regain or weight related (I've had no regain) I am scheduled for July 15, 2019.

?????????????????????

I can't deny I am slightly nervous because who wants more surgery after WLS that isn't cosmetic ? but I'm taking it day by day.

I will keep updating this thread now that i have a place to keep my story

Real talk: Feminine wipes???? I could have gone my whole life without knowing how you keep your fresh as a daisy sassy self ramblin' on! bahahahahaha! (Although, I did fall down by not thinking to take my sleep mask and ear plugs!)

LololololololoL

I would have settled for baby wipes but these were found first. With so many people touching me, i totally need to wipe down until I can shower

Shew! That's better knowing it's cuz of a Monk thing. Cuz the other...well that's like an entirely different order of magnitude parallel with the mystical flight of the butterfly that no one should ever discuss. The penalty from the female tribe is too great. Death by stoning from the pits of well...stone fruits.

Wow! I haven’t been here much but I had no idea your revision was so soon.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. It is looking likely that I too will need to revise due to gerd:( I am so not happy about it because I know that revisions surgery carries greater risk for one thing. For another I just don’t want a bypass and that is why I went with the sleeve to start.

I am more afraid to revise than I was to have my initial sleeve surgery.

I wish you a speedy recovery and I will be paying closer attention to this thread.

breakfast lunch dinner

Water, broth, popsicle, jello

There must be pretty compelling medical reasons to revise. Stick with the recommendations of yout surgeon

As I'm sure y'all know, I am not hungry at all and it seems my tastes have changed again ?

The broth was bland, never tried the jello, drinking is fine but slow

Thank you. I need all of the support and encouragement I can get.

I did the bravo test a few weeks back and my acid levels are off the charts.

It would be great to lose my appetite. It never happened after my sleeve surgery.

IDK... I didn't have an appetite after my first surgery either so...

Guess who is going home!

Right I am going to keep my fingers crossed and hope ?

either way it will be good to get rid of the gerd

Thanks for the posts. I have made notes on a couple of things to bring that I did not think of. One thing I will bring is Clorox wipes and hand sterilizer. In the hospital, locally, there are signs in the room that say "you have the right to ask the Hospital employees and Dr.'s to wash their hands before touching you". I just have the pump bottle on my near by table and I do ask, with a smile. Also, if friends visit.

Good luck with your recovery!!!!

Day 1 at home:

Working on fluids all day long. Gotta practice what I preach.

But also I notice these photos were exactly one year apart both post op and maybe 10 lbs apart... I'm wearing the same shirt!
