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 think everyone wants validation and want help with this journey.

I am unsure - I know I've spoken to him in the past but I really was joking!!

I can't be so serious this whole time -- it's a lot to learn all over again being revised than sleeved... It really wasn't a choice I wanted but I had too, I'm too young to suffer for another 30-40 years and would rather do it now, but ... with that said, and like I said above, I think everyone wants some help with this and some maybe, just maybe, are a bit touchy LOL

Maybe he needs to be validated

Things are still moving along. I never did lose my energy which is great except I am still having pain on right side. I still think it is a pulled muscle from not being still. I am giving it until Thursday which will be a week from when it started to call the Dr. office.

I had a scrambled egg for breakfast yesterday and today with no issues. I did have coffee this morning with my fake sugar and creamer and it doesn't appear that I will be a dumper . I have not been sick or nauseated since surgery.

Could someone please tell me what are portion sizes this early out for bypass. I still don't have feeling and the few times I had cottage cheese I used 1/4 cup to measure. I did measure with sleeve the first 18 months but even in beginning I didn't eat the whole portion we were allowed because my sleeve said no. My understanding with this pouch is you don't want to eat one bite over so I have been pretty careful.

Hi Tracy. I would love to chat with you privately. I could use some help/encouragement. I have questions about reflux and revision. Is there a way we could communicate outside the forum?

I will PM you

Ok thank you. I’m on Facebook Grace Garcia Menifee Ca

I weighed in at 174.8 this morning. I am still not feeling any GERD, which is great but I also am still on my PPI for a few more months. Hoping the GERD is gone and the PPI will heal my esophagus.

I am still not feeling hunger but I didn't figure I would since I didn't have much of it with the sleeve either. I am afraid to eat now to be quite honest and it is messing with my head. I keep thinking I have a stoma and not a valve and wonder if I will hurt myself. Hoping I will feel better about eating when I start to have feeling again.

Why did you have a revision to bypass when you weigh so little, just curious

I had to for the erosive esophagitis.

So I went to Sams yesterday to buy a box of premier protein shakes. $17 and some change for a 12 pack. I spotted Fairlife protein shakes for $15 and some change. I bought the Fairlife choclate with 30 gm of protein and it is pretty good stuff. I will be drinking this brand from now on.

I am staying in the 600 to 700 calorie range and getting my 60 gm of protein in each day. I am not having any issues getting in my liquids . I am also on a vitamin regimen which is going fine also.

Still having pain on right side. If I stay still I am fine. Coughing or laughing hurts.

Thanks for sharing!

Weighing in at 173.4 this morning. Yesterday I had scrambled egg, 1/2 slice of bacon, and 1/4 of a biscuit for breakfast. I had no issues at all nor did I feel anything. I do chew chew chew out of fear that something could get stuck or so I have heard. I am trying not to find out, lol .

I can hardly wait for June 23 to go to see Wendy ( NP for the bariatric center ) I need to pick her brain and hopefully I will feel better on what I am suppose to be doing with this pouch. No one ever gave me measurements for food so I have been eating like I did in the beginning with the sleeve but smaller portions because of fear.

I did call the Dr. office on Thursday because of the pain in my right side. I was told it might be from the nerves being cut. I think I pulled a muscle really good. Either way it is starting to feel a little better. It still hurts to cough and laugh.

You are doing well. I really wonder if the lack of full sensation could still be that your nerves need to heal. I get full quickly now on one scrambled egg and definitely feel it. If I eat 1/2 slice of bacon I am only able to eat 1/2 egg without feeling horribly uncomfortable.

I had all of those weird pains in the first few months too. I was fine after I healed. Until what feels like a sore stomach muscle started up. Hoping it is still part of the healing process and not something like a hernia.
