DS to Rose or lap or sleeve which is best? revison?

.

Wow thank you so much. This  really helps...I am looking for drs in my area that do DRs that do revsions on DS . I cant say thank you enough,.... 

 What Elizabeth said.  A revision from DS is to beef up the DS itself, be it a smaller stomach if it's stretched too far, and/or shorter cc.

Thank you all so much ,I will keep you all posted on what my Dr says. I cant even look in the mirror anymore all I do is cry I am back to BMI of  43...Just Hearbroken ... Michelle

Maybe I've missed something, but are you sure you have a DS? Did you go to a different surgeon than the one you have listed? Because he doesn't do the DS.

Oh yes I had to find another dr due to my hmo.. . My Dr Michael Ujiki. In Evanston Il.  And yes all he does  alot of  revisions..etc.  Is there a place on the site to add your drs name if his name is not on drop down list?

Removed because OH has chosen to share my posts, upload, journey etc. on Facebook without my permission. Moderation that is unfair and prejudicial.

Oh yes the  DS worked just statred gaining in the last 5 years .. So maybe I did stretch it out.. I went  from 270 to 185.. now back to 275..

 What Elizabeth said. And I'd add to that to have your thyroid labs drawn: TSH, Free T3, Free T4. Low thyroid can certainly cause problems with weight gain. 

I know, I know. I'm harping on the whole thyroid thing today. But I have good reason. I've been hypothyroid for a loooong time and didn't know it. Now that I know, I've been learning everything I can. You wouldn't believe all the things that can affect the thyroid hormones. For instance, having low ferriton can contribute to hypothyroidism, as the body needs iron for the cells to take up T3. Since you've had the DS, Michelle, your iron and ferriton might not be right. So, in addition to having your nutrition looked at, have your thyroid labs drawn as well. 

Here's a great site for info on hypothyroidism: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com

Good luck. You can get through this,

PS: It might not hurt to check your cortisol levels as well. Too much cortisol can cause weight gain. Again, go to the site listed above. There is a wealth of information there on not just the thyroid, but on the adrenals too.
