Band over Bypass Experiences

Hello I am in the process of seeking a revision.  I had the RNY in 200 and I lost 130# over the years I have regained 60#.  I spoke to a surgeon that recommended having my RNY revised.  I haave been doing some research on this site and  a few other and I am really encouraged by the results people are having with BOB.  I know that what I need is restriction to help me with my constant hunger.  I went through a very difficult period two years ago and I dropped 40# simply becasue I was too stressed to eat.  Retrictive diets still work for me however my constant hunger has me struggling just as I did before my RNY.  I would really appreiciate hearing from people who have had a BOB to see what your post op weightloss has been like. 

 
Check out Heathercross. Been very successful with BOB.

 

 Tyler, read my profile, then email me with questions.  Not as good about blogging this time around like I did with RNY in 2002, but, have put a lot out there.  Email me after you read with any additonal quesitons.

After 7 years of maintaining a 122lb weight loss I too started gaining back. I gained about fifty pounds before I realized that I was once again out of control. I had BOB put in 21/2 years ago. I have lost ninety pounds. That is forty less than my all time low bypass weight. I have maintained my 90 pound loss give or take 2 or 3 pounds for two years. I am so thankful to have been given this second chance. I do work my band though....it is not a cake walk any longer. I walk 4-5 miles daily. This allows me to maintain my weight and not worry if I just had to have that cookie, candy bar etc.... I feel like I can now eat like a normal person...OK... a normal person that eats only when hungry....LOL

Thank you both for responding.  HYour stories are very inspiring!!!  I am going to my initial consult for my revision today.   I am so excited.  I have been doing so much research and I feel confident that the BOB is the best options for me. Not to mention the fact that I have a six year old son so I would prefer not be down for too long after the procedure.
