Hi Kimmy and welcome to OH!

I am over 20 yrs post op and I can tell you that this decision was the best one I ever made, even given the fact I have faced regain over the years. All you need to remember is that your surgery is a TOOL. How you work that tool is up to you and how successful you will be. To be successful build your "toolbox" with key components that will help you achieve and maintain your maximum weight loss such as a support system (online and in person), finding healthier alternatives, focusing on portion control, and using meal prep to plan your meals.

Remember that you are going to need to maximize your weight loss during the first 12-16 months, so steer clear of simple carbs and alcohol. Alcohol is a big issue where people find that they regain because they are drinking their calories.

Best of luck to you. Keep us updated once you are home.

I get the same error message too, very frustrating. I use Chrome.

No revision. When I have regain, I go to Weigh****chers. Currently 3 pounds above my 136 goal weight.

Most people lose about 20 pounds with a revision. That is due to a liquid diet before and after the surgery. Before revision the stomach can hold at least the volume of a 2-liter bottle of soda. After revision the stomach is the size of a magic marker. We learn how to put enough food into the tiny stomach so that we gain weight. The revision makes the sleeve a little smaller, but we already know how to outeat the small stomach. The only way to keep the weight off is to eat less than you burn.

Hello. Has anyone had this revision and what is your experience?
