Revision

Hi!  My name is Nancy and I am 47 years old.  I had the lap band surgery in 2009.  Unfortunately, I only was able to lose about 30 pounds and have gained all of it back plus more.  I recently went to my surgeon and he has suggested have a revision.  So now I am going to have gastric bypass surgery.  I have gone through all of my tests and have been cleared to have the surgery.  Now just waiting to get approval from insurance.

Would love to hear from others who have had revision surgery and/or gastric bypass surgery.

Thanks

Nancy

Hi Nancy,

I started the process last January and  had the sleeve done in May.  I am down 134 pounds with another 70 to go.  It is the best thing I've ever done for myself.  After decades of fighting obesity, I now have a fighting chance. 

I encourage you to do it.  Its not easy, but its not terrible, and the rewards are so worth it. 

best of luck with your weight loss journey.

Carol
