Sliming after revision
This question is for those of you that have had a revision done from lap band to RNY or DS. With the lap band, there is sliming and getting food stuck all the time. Does this still happen with the other types of WLS? Very seldom do I just feel the sensation of being full, its always the feeling of being stuck. I hate it!

I had RNY in 2001. I never had the feeling of food being "stuck". However, I did have the feeling of being full after just a very small portion of food. Even 7+ yrs out, while I can eat more then immediately after the original surgery (obviously) I still get the sensation of full. But full is a different feeling than what I was accustomed to pre wls. You learn to read your body signals differently.
I can so relate to your situation, I lost for 13 months 130 lbs and stopped cold in my tracks, I researched my Ins and they actually paid for the revision. I still have 86 lbs to get to my goal weight - not the one my original surgeon set - I would never get there.
Even to this day I get foamies and yack it up !!! I have learned to stay away from most leftovers and chicken.
