HEllo family

I hope I have come to the right place for some support and to develop some friendships. I am attempting to have a revision. I was wondering if there is anyone here that has had one, or have any advice for me pertaining to it. I had my gastric bypass in 04 and have gained an ugly 60-80 pounds back. I am so discouraged and disappointed in myself. So happy that I have found this forum. Please family I could use some love right now.....thanks!

Welcome to BAF Mary.  I can't help with advice on revision, just wanted to say

Thanks for saying hello Kim. I appreciate that.

Hi Mary,

I haven't had my 1st yet, just wanted to say hi.

Be prepared - some will be sweet and some are streaight, no chaser.  Some use humor to soften the blow, and some come at you for maximum effect (they want to make no mistake that their point is clear).

All in all, it's supportive, just from different POVs.

oh dayum.  "momma?!!!!  brandy tellin the family business again.   mommma! come quick!"

hi mary    welcome darln.

Whatchu mean, again??? (hands on hips, mouth poked out as I walk off with a thumb in my mouth saying "Momma, Marlo's lying on me AGAIN!!!) 

Mary H;

I had a revision. Lap Band 2005 to VGS 1/30/09. What's your question?

Hey Mary!  I see we are from the same neck of the woods.  I'm down here in the Stamford area.  I had a revision from the Lapband (2005) to RNY (2008)  Not quite the same as what you need to go through but maybe I can be of some help.

I guess the usual. Is it working? What were the insurance requirements? How are u feeling? Perhaps we can chat on the phone since u are so close....let me know...thanks

Mary

The revision has definatly worked for me.  I'm so much happier with my revision... should have done RNY from the beginning.  I only had to see the psych guy and the nutritionist again before approval.  I had always been to follow up exams so the insurance company knew I was in compliance and was doing everything I could to work with the lapband.   I have never felt better in my life since this revision.  I am 12 pounds away from my docs goal and 22 from mine...so I'm very happy.  I'll hit you up with my number on the backline.
