Okay, I want my sleeve revised or maybe not? I have to go through a 6 month process. I am beeing seen by one of the top bariatric surgeons. So here are some positives:

(1) I have not gain all my weight back.

(2) Having another procedure does not guarantee my GERD will be completely eliminated.

(3) I will work with a specialist for WLS patients with GERD.

(4) Following this lifestyle, I can get healthier and lose more weight.

(5) I am willing to do this for at least 6 months.

(6) My hernia will continue to be monitored.

(7) I will increase my exercise.

WTG! Sounds like a great plan! Be sure to contact them if your symptoms get worse!!! Make em document EVERY little thing. I've never ever ever heard of anyone being made to wait 6 months for a medically necessary revision. Especially one involving active GERD that could cause Barrett's or erosion or ulceration, etc...at any time. I'd be that darn squeaky wheel they want to move along in the process!!!! ((hugs))

Thanks! I had the same arguments. However, I looked at some of his studies. He is one of the first doctors I can trust, "well a little." Tips so far, "eat slower, move more (I been counting my steps for awhile) I had stopped pushing forward and remember why I did this in the first place. Well, I added the last one. I will tell him if things get worse. They are monitoring me monthly starting Tuesday. I have an appointment with gastroenterologist bariatric specialists. This is my journey:

People lose their regain without more surgery! It IS definitely possible!!! You can do this!!!

Especially since re-surgeries don't always have as much success from a weight regain as the original virgin surgery. And weight loss they say is slower for re-surgeries. Don't know if any of that is true or not, but I've seen MANY MANY MANY vets successful lose the regain by going back to their old low carb forever diet they followed right out of surgery and getting active again and planning, weighing/measuring/reporting-logging every bite that goes in their mouth.

It's quite inspiring. I wish you well and will be cheering for you. Maybe it's even possible with weight loss, the GERD will calm down.
