What revision should I do
Thanks Wings

good luck
Personally, I'd go for a DS ONLY if you think you can commit to eating 100 grams of protein per day for life, vitamins for life, and bloodwork for life. If you can... then, go for a DS. It has the best long-term results in terms of maintained weight loss... plus, I see way too many RNYers looking for revisions... and very few DSers. You don't want to be here again in five years!
Lap-Band June 14, 2001. Dr. Rumbaut, Monterrey, Mexico.
Lap-Band removed after 7 years and converted to Sleeve Gastrectomy on July 7, 2008 by Dr. Roslin. I've had three happy healthy Lap-Band babies.... and one VSG baby. 5 years out from revision to VSG. Gained 55 pounds in past 5 months, now considering DS. :(
Yep your are so right and DS is what I want. I saw Dr. C and he told me same thing about restrictive part of VSG that you are saying. I need malabsorption part because I have 100+ more to loose but the lap band did take 120 off of me with little excercise. What gets me though is I am waling 1 hour 10 min a day (4 miles ) and still have restriction sometimes, well most the time I throw up everything I eat and get stuck and all that other crap that you already know about cause you probably had it too and I stay within a 20 pound range up and down. I have done that for a year. So I don't think anyone can say I make bad food choices all time but if you ask that nutritionist, it is my fault lol. I do not eat 1/4 of what I used to put down before lap band. That is amazing. I already have to take handfull of vitamins a day and right now protien is low so I am doing supplements and they are not that bad and simple. So if I can take 15 min of my time 2 to 3 times a day to take vitamins, minerals and protien supplement everyday than that is a easy price to pay. I already get bld work every 3 to 6 months because I am on provastin and levoxyl.
I am ready for the change just have to put it in Gods hands to bring that change soon.
