Revision in 8 days
Hello, I wanted to ask why you are having the revision? I had the sleeve done 4 1/2 years ago and lost 100lbs but gained 50lbs back and have struggled for the past two years with no weight loss but staying on a good healthy eating program. My surgeon is talking to me about a revision now because he said I have been a model patient with no weight loss. Is this your story also? Thank You!
Hi MarianneJ54 yes indeed that is my story I have stuck with my eating plan and exercise routine. I lost 135 pounds but gained back 52 pounds. And have tried everything to get it off. Then I was diagnosed with gerd and I started having headaches again which meant my blood pressure was high. High blood pressure runs deeply in my family I lost my father in 2012 to a heartattack and high blood pressure. And my mother just passed February 10 the of this year from her blood pressure she had a stroke that caused 3 blood clots in the brain. So after talking to my surgeon he suggested a revision after trying to do it on my own after talking to my surgeon but was not successful I decided the revision was right for me. I am on my liquid diet as I write this I went for my pre- admission testing and just praying and counting down the days until May 1st.
Thanks for the reply. I'm so sorry for your lost of both parents I know that can be very hard. I pray that all goes well for you. I am having the EGD done and a Upper GI and after that I will see the surgeon again. he knows I have been very faithful with my eating plan and exercise and now it's time to move forward. You got this girl!! Blessings to you!
Thank You MarianneJ54 It has been so hurtful and stressful losing both my parents. But I try to think positive and know they both are in a better place with no pain. And they would be proud of the steps I am taking to get healthy. And I wanted to thank you for the encouraging words I know you will be successful as well. And if you need some inspiration I am here for you. You Got This Too!?
