If you have had a revision and it is successful 2nd time round,  what do you do differently and what tips do you have.  My revision is scheduled for October 13th.

Polly

HI Polly,
What kind of revision are scheduled for?  I just had a revision 8/31 from lapband to RNY.  I am following surgeon's advice to the letter as far as diet and exercise go. I have lost 25 lbs. since the revision.  Good luck to you and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi there,
I had a RNY 2 years ago and lost 70lbs,  I have regained 30lbs.  My surgeon wants to make the pouch smaller again and this time fit a fobi ring to stop it stretching again.  I wondered how you felt after the surgery and how long it took to recover.
Thanks for your help,
Polly.

 I had a revision to ERNY and consider mine a success....at least to date.  The jury is still out in my opinion until I get a bit more time behind me.  My surgiversay will be 10/3 so I am almost a year out.

2 things I have changed was to focus on protein making up the majority of my diet without exception and to always, ALWAYS, always make sure I religiously take my vitamins.

Good luck on your upcoming revision.  I hope it is everything you need it to be.

Following the rules for the long haul not until I loose weight. Proteins first, drink lots of fluids, always take my vitamins, drink a protein drink at least once a day and most importantly custom smileyNO GRAZING!  only consume planned meals & snacks!  This time around I am more mindful of the fact that I have to make lifelong lifestyle changes. 

The first time around I exercised a lot but I have not been able to wrap my head around exercise this time but I will get there because I know physical exercise is good for me on many levels.

Like you I thought ahead of time how this journey would be different from the first time around.

Change is a Process Not an Event
