still a very big girl and having a revision

My question is probably similiar to some of the other post but..... I really need people to answer this question. Okay to make along storie short.when I had my first surgery I was 466. I was losing good about 30 pounds a month. I got down to like 318 that was still consider very morbidly obese (but I think that was dam good coming from over 400 pounds)

I know I heard people say  the weight don't come off as fast like the first surgery. Since im still a pretty big girl will this be the case for me as well. My weight is still in the 300's.

I just need basically some one thats around my size to share with me their story. Even though I'm hearing all these good succes stories, but I'ts people that had a revision that only need to lose 50 to 60 pounds to get back to their goal weight  ( not trying to step on anybody toes) so please don't take what i'm saying and the wrong way

When I had my first surgery I was almost 450.  I lost down to 231.  Then, my suture line broke and I also had a restriction to food ... my opening was only 8mm and I was throwing everything up.  I gained back up to 262!!  So, when I had my revision I had another 112 pounds to lose.  So far, I have lost 29 lbs and tomorrow will be one month out from surgery.  I think it all depends on you and your body.  If you follow exactly what the docs say and take your vitamins like they say and your protein shakes... I think you will do great!

Please let me know how you are doing.  I am not in the exact same boat but I did start out at almost your size.

I'm here if you need an ear.

I am so glad you posted because i started out at 455 and got down to 295 and now I am at 323 and also seek a revision. I can truly see a light at the end of the tunnel keep up the good work. Is your surgeon in CA?

No!!! Mine surgeon is in indy, but I will let you know how everything is going for me.

I was talking to the first person that responded she is in CA. I notice you werent. Either way good luck to you and hope everything works out. I am in the process of getting to the revision but got to get past just one more doctor.

Yes, my doctor is here in Los Angeles, CA.... Dr. Theodore Khalili... he is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

that's great ....so you have lost about almost a pound a day??? what kind  of revision did you have? They say that is true, as long as you do what the doctor order you will do good. I will like to keep in touch. keep up the good work!!!

LISA... THAT'S GOOD SO YOUR LOSING LIKE BASICALLY A POUND A DAY. THAT'S HOW IT WAS WITH ME THE FIRST TIME AROUND. tHAT IS SO TRUE WHAT YOU SAID, IF YOU DO EVERY THING RIGHT THE WEIGHT WILL COME OFF. I KNOW I'M BLESSED TO HAVE THIS REVISION SO I CAN'T TAKE ANOTHER SURGERY FOR GRANTED. THE FIRST TIME AROUND GOT PREGNANT 7 MONTHS AFTER. BASICALLY I WANNA DO EVERYTHING RIGHT!!!

WHAT KIND OF REVISION DID YOU HAVE? I HOPE I CAN DO GOOD, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
