band to bypass - surgery 16jan2016

I lost my weight because I found out I have diabetes.  I think the meds are helping me with weight loss. 

sorry to hear about diabetes. when I meant pain I meant back pain, knee pain, etc...  it hurts to walk but today is day one on shakes!!!! so my pain days are going be reducing day by day

I am a band to sleeve.  I was told the same thing about the revision losing less/slower.  I lost MORE/FASTER with the sleeve than the band.  With the band I only made it down to about 205/210 (198 for two days when my brother past.)  At one point I was higher than surgery date with the filling and unfilling and other issues.  With the sleeve, I had lost lower in two months than I every got with the band in four years.  Two year out and I am down 135 pounds where I only lost less than 70 with the band.

I hope this is helpful even though I wasn't a RNY.

wow!!!! Congratulations... that was worth the fight with the insurance!!! Yes it is very helpful and encouraging. Thanks for sharing!!
