I have a lapband and have had it for almost four years, I have never been able to find the sweet spot, Im either too full or not full enough, I get heartburn and reflux and have to back down the fluid then have not restriction, I have had two upper GI;s the band has not slipped but the position has shifted, I was at 55 degrees horizontal and now at less the 40 degrees, I would like a revision but not sure if its needed or if there is something else I can do. I get food stuck even with the smallest of bites. I hate my band I have pressure in my abdomen most of the time. I either can or cant eat depending on the day. Im miserable, I have talked to the doctor and he has said that he doesn't know that revision is necessary but if he did revise it would e to gastric bypass ( he recommendation I should say). Need advise?
I share the same date as you do. I had my VSG on June 8, 2010. How is year journey in post-op since having your RNY? May I ask? I hope you had a success with your RNY. I know I had a success in my weight loss surgery. I'm sure (might be wrong) that you had some ups & downs on your journey in post-op. We all do. I am really enjoying life now. I wish you all the best cristal09.
I posted my yearly update on a seperate post with photos. :)
Hope all us "Junies" are enjoying our surgeries with minimal complications...I know I am!
Warmly,
Jackie
Before I was almost 300 lbs with a BMI of 50.2+ and wore a size 30. I was wheelchair bound and was on nearly 20 different prescription medications.
Today I am down to my goal (155 lbs) I am an amatuer female bodybuilder and very happy and healthy. I LOVE my RNY, and it's not bad for a 47 year old formerly obese woman who had two autoimmune diseases and is a cancer survivor. No, I have not had ANY plastics, that is ALL ME, Baby! That is some serious pumping at the gym (and swimming) and loving it.
I am strong in my heart and soul and that is the whole reason I had this surgery. To be happy, healthy and STRONG.
I wish ALL of you well on your journeys regardless of where in your journey you are.
(((((hugs)))) to you all. (Lots of Photos-Before and after) to follow!
Warmly,
