Lisa
I can only speak for myself here. I had a revision due to lack of weightloss, 1yr out from a RNY ( done Lap) I had lost 125lbs and started to gain - Did I push the envelope some - sure I take responseability for that, Should I have had more mental health counseling - YES!! surgery is a tool - learn how to use it . it might limit the amount of food you put in your stomach - but it does nothing for your head and issue's within.
. Seeing that I still had over another 150 to loose - I chose to be revised. My original surgeon would not consider it. I went with another Dr who did an Open procedure bypassed more intestine & created more malabsorption. I wished my Original Dr did this the first time, but that is hindsight .
I was given a second chance to loose more of the weight. I am to this day still loosing slowly. but going down ! I am healthier & happier for the most part. I get labs checked religiously.
the best advise I can give .. Is to talk to your surgeon sincerly about your concerns.

Topic: Milk
I had RNY almost 1 year ago. So far nothing seems to cause me any issues. I have tried most of my old foods in very very small portions and it's good including chocolate.
I do stay away from greasy, fatty ,fried foods.
I would like to have cereal for breakfast to break the boredom. For this I need milk. Has anybody had any success with milk?

Topic: Got a question...
I am still working on the 6-month supervised weight loss before I can be approved for WLS and am looking to get RNY Gastric Bypass.
I have seen several posts about revisions and changes in the surgery people choose...I am concerned and am womdering why a revision would be needed, how often they are needed, and why a change in the surgery? I am wondering if it is a case of not being able to adhere to the behaviors the surgeon prescribes after surgery or is it something else? I am not trying to offend anyone here who has had a revision, really just trying to understand so I can avoid another surgery...please help.
Thanks, Lisa

Topic: RE: Run fast to Costco!!!
Right now I belong to Sams club but there are more of them here. More Costcos or Sams club there?
GailI do both! LOL !
I actually rarely make it to Sam's but if I'm hosting a party or event or friends then I like to hit both since they offer different freezer items. Sam's allows you to buy smaller produce pkgs but overall....I like Costco better.
Sam's: I buy their small plastic party plates. Classy for plastic.
small fruit & veggie options
More refrigerator options
clothing
dog food
nuts
Costco: I buy water, gas, shrimp rings, shrimp ceviche, salads, veggies, jerkey, etc.
Buying pizza or a hot dog? Hands down! Costco is the winner!!!!
C U soon!

Topic: RE: Fills for those banded in Mexico
If Tucson is close enough I'd highly recommend Scott Lopez. He has the lapband fill center located in Tucson. He has lots of training in follow up care and is great; he'll listen to you and help with problems. I've had a lot of problems and he seems to be the only one who will listen to me. He will take insurance or if it is out of pocket the prices are $50 for an apt no fill/ $100 for apt w/fill. 520-882-4200
