What causes the need for revision if you’re at the goal weight?

I had a hernia and bad GERD that caused me to get erosive esophagitis Grade D.

Same here...sorta...I didn’t want a gastric bypass but had no other option due to large hiatel hernia which caused horrible reflux

Thank you !! I am still in shock, lol.

How are you doing ?

Doing ok. Still on mostly liquids. It’ll be four weeks on the 18th. I’ve only lost 10 lbs since surgery which is not as I hoped but I’m sure it’ll pick up once I move around more. I’m still sore and I can’t move around more than 10 minutes. I get winded and get side pain. Praying I’m better before the wedding on 9-19. My gown is a size 20 and I’m hoping I’ll be in an 18 or less in a month...my tailor is standing by...he’s cheering for me too haha.

You are doing great losing 10 lbs . That is 100lbs in 10 months !! It goes by pretty fast too.

You still have a little over a month for the wedding . I am sure you will be feeling much better. ☺️

Had the revision done at 7 30 am this morning weighing in at 180 my original goal weight. The first 12 hours were horrible. This was a very painful surgery for me and I don't know if it was because they also took the hernia I had. ( I believe they said they took it and not fixed it but I am still on the drugs. ) I have been given morphine to start with then they switched me to dillata because the morphine wasn't cutting it. I am back on liquid hydro now. I wasn't able to urinate either for the first several hours and I am still having a hard time with it. I have been crying through most of the day. Pain, anxiety and lack of sleep have been my companions as they are still not letting visitors in. I cant tell if I still have GERD . The gas pain has been in my neck and shoulders it sucks. I did 3 laps around the ward at 1 am to see if it would help because I thought I had read it helps with the gas. Well I will keep updating my progress here. Good night

I hope you feel better my surgery is september 1st scared cause I know I'll be alone but I know the dear lord is watching over all of us.Hope you feel better
