revision
Maureen,
Have you talked to Dr. Aranow about a revision? He is my Dr. also and I just wondered if you spoke to him about it and if so what did he say. I am classifed as obese because of my BMI. I have tried everything else and as a last resort I would do a revision if insurance would allow. I get so depressed. I can't concentrate at work and sometimes I turn into a real B_ _ _ _.
My co workers keep telling me I need meds but they don't understand that meds aren't going to help me unless it's a super duper diet pill. Keep in touch and thanks,
Cindy

Hi Cindy, I feel your pain. I will talk to Dr. A. about revision options when I see him in September, but I have already asked Lois if he performs these type of procedures and she told me no, he does not. Dr. A. is all about the initial surgery and resulting success, after that he is the quintessential parent eagle who pushes the fledglings out the of the nest - and that's how it should be! We are responsible for our own success - however, if something physiological is preventing us from sustaining that success, than it must be addressed and options must be put on the table. I am hell-bent to get this weight off that I've gained since my surgery (between 20-25 lbs.) - but then again, I've been hell-bent my entire life to lose my excess weight (between 350-400 lbs. most of my adult life). I turned to surgery when I finally accepted that I couldn't do it on my own - why then should this period of my life be any different? Be well, stay in touch - we're in this together! Maureen
Hi Maureen,
I wish you the best when you see Dr. A. I don't see him until November and maybe by that time I may have some of this weight off. i just don't know what else to do. I go to the gym, I swim, I lift weights and nothing. I don't always eat right but most of the time I do. I guess I'll try the low carb diet one last time and see what happens. I'm like you I'm hell bent on getting this weight off if it's the last thing I do. WLS was my last hope and I'm not going to give up. I lost a total of 70 lbs and gained back 15. I'm going to eat better and go to the gym more often maybe bump it to 5 days a week instead of 3, although I did that and it did nothing.
Oh well I'm going to keep trying and you keep trying too.
Thanks for your support.
Stay in touch.
