This is my second time around (revision surgery)...and I still can't help being paranoid! I've had 2 esophograms since surgery (one day after - standard, and one a week after, also standard for revision surgery), and both were perfect. Yet I drink and I think that it's not going down the way it should. I know it has to be all in my head but I am just so nervous! How could anything have gone wrong? I'm 8 days out and have had only Water, broth, and thinned out carnation instant breakfast...

I wonder sometimes if everything is ok too. But I am going to go with my gut... no pun intended... and trust the process. Have some faith and tell your mind to be quiet. :laugh: The tests came back fine and you will do great!!!!

Hi.

I had my surgery on the 24th and I too am pretty nervous about what I'm eating, have I done anything wrong, whether or not i've made the band slip, you name it. I can't see that it's rational though because I'm following my dr.'s instructions exactly.

But still, I'm worried. I feel your pain.

What procedure did you revise from to the band? I am in the process of beginning my revision surgery process. I've already been debanded but I was too paranoid to revise during my removal surgery. I felt as if since the first surgery didn't work none would work and I didn't want to put myself through it physically as well as emotionally. I suppose your feelings are probably normal and you'll get through it. Good luck with your revision, Nancy:smile:.

I discovered a few weeks ago that I had a band slip because I couldn't keep any food down...so I went in and sure enough that's what it was. They scheduled me right away to reposition the band.

Believe me, the thought crossed my mind that I should just take it out and do this on my own...and I was upset that I had to go through another surgery, and what if this happened again, etc, etc, etc...but in the end I just told myself that without this band, I would STILL be hovering near 400 pounds and so if it took a 2nd surgery to get this thing working again and help me to knock off the weight, then that's what's going to have to happen.

I wish you the best of luck with your revision surgery process...everything will work out great. :)

I am feeling better today...it's just the littlest things and I begin freaking out...lol...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
