I had my Sleeve/RNY revision 2 days ago...



Recommended Posts

So I did the deed two days ago. Had it done in Mexico and still recovering in the hospital. I’m so ready to go home I can’t stand it. However, so glad I did this. I went from band to sleeve to bypass in an 11 year stretch. I’ve made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot about my body.

My goals going forward are to take my food addictions a lot more seriously, and love myself enough to continue my level up phase in life. I’ve gained the Covid 19 (pounds) like everybody else, now it’s time to lose those as well as the other 70-80 lbs I need to shed. 😏

I’m looking forward to this new journey. I know a revision doesn’t take off as much weight as a virgin surgery. Luckily I don’t have a lot to lose.

Ok, 8 days after surgery and I'm 8 pounds down. I can tolerate the muchies and have been doing smoothies, Soup, and started taking my Multivitamins. I must say that this is the best I've felt in many months. I'm happy to be losing weight again. Staying cautious is key, but I'm healing quite well and in an overall great mood!

I’m 8 days down as well. They’re allowing me to progress to purées! I put on 11 lbs of surgery weight and as of today lost those pounds and an additional 11 pounds. I am worried that I haven’t had a BM and apparently my doctor did a deep stitch that is causing excruciating pain. I had hoped to be a little further in my pain recovery. How are you dealing with the pain?

      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!!
