I lost the 12 which brought me back down to goal. I wasn't looking to lose more than that. My goal weight was 100% excess weight lost.

Easily manageable is nice to hear. Right now my gerd, is out of control even with pills and tums. So are you saying in 6 months you lost the 12lbs? Or more then that?

Topic: RE: 26 year old VBG DESPERATELY SEEKING REVISION!!

I am almost in the same boat. Scared to no end. I had VBG done 14 years ago. I went from 465 to 200 lbs. Unfortunately, over the last two years (I want to blame quitting smoking, getting married, and perimenopause) I have gained a lot of weight back I'm almost back to 350lbs. My current pcp has referred me to a bariatric surgeon for a revision. But all I keep seeing is a lot of people not able to get the revision. I'm quickly becoming very scared of even trying.

I am doing well. I'm just over a month out from revision. This time around was a bit harder recovery wise but they ended up finding a hiatal hernia also while in there and repaired it. Otherwise I'm doin great! I haven't had any reflux since waking up from surgery.

That is so FABULOUS! Thanks for the Reply. I am thankful to say that I have never experienced issues with GERD, but I can tell you that my Scar Tissue after the VBG, skin removal, and 3 hernia repairs is MASSIVE! It's painful, and I look like I am 8 months pregnant. The scar tissue is so hard, I just hate looking at me! I am however alive.

Take care. Many blessings...

Actually, not crazy at all!!! The reason for my post was that I had contacted Dr. Now's office and they are telling me they don't think they can help me. I have not actually spoken to Dr. Nowzardan but I would think telling me NO before even looking at my current VBG and seeing me in person is not right.

Granted, 26 years ago was a long time, but there must be something that can be done.

Thanks for your reply. I love knowing that I have "Peeps" out there!

Blessings...
