I am having a very slow weight loss. I had my first surgery 3/2000 and VBG revised in 2017. I gained 80 pounds and had a gastric bypass on 3/23/2022. Wondering if anyone else had these issues?

Your first surgery was a band? then you revised it to what in 2017? and you just had bypass a few weeks ago? Are you sticking to the program? Following the diets and such? But you are just out of surgery and healing. Some people are slower than others and some loose a ton of weight quick. But as long as you stick to it and follow your programs diets and recommendation you will loose the weight.

First surgery Vertical banded gastroplasty, permanent band. 220 pound weight loss but had much difficulty with nausea vomiting and stricture. Yes sticking to diet now.. just very nervous. Doctor says its because I dont have as much to lose.

What are your current weight and goal weights? it helps if you fill out your sidebar which you can do under your profile section and click on surgery.

It's pretty common to have slower weight loss with revisions than with virgin surgeries.

Thanks. Its what I am hearing. Trying not to be obsessed with the scale but dying to get this weight off!
