Hello Everyone! 

I need HELP! I had revision from lap band to RNY in February 2016. I have not lost any weight. :( Partly I know its because i can finally eat food. 

 

A little history, Had my band for about 5 years and I ended up having complications including not being able to eat, everything i ate had to come back up, i also had severe acid reflux and after an endoscopy I found out that I also had major inflimation of my esophagus and stomach at top and bottom. This caused the doctor to want to do the revision ASAP.

 

I am currently 202 pounds. I went through a 2 week period where all I ate was fruit. I was so excited to be able to eat fruit! It had been 3 years since i could eat an apple or an orange and keep it down that i had to eat it. Now I am trying the low carb route and it has made me gain weight. I am at a loss and feel like a looser. (not in a good way...lol) 

 

Anyone else had this problem???

 

Plus on the BM side, i have found that I have blood in my stool... anyone else had this??

 

I am very greatful that i had the revision surgery, i just am looking for insite from people to get me on track.

Hi. I too was revised last week. From nutrition classes I know fruit has a lot of sugar so you may want to limit them. Sorry. I would say go back to square one: protein shakes, limit carbs, drink more fluids.

Lastly, if you have blood in your stool, you should get that checked. Better to be safe than sorry.

God bless you.
