I am pretty flipping enthused- my insurance came through and I finally got my date for revision (rny -> DS).

I had my rny in 2006, maintained well until I had a spinal fracture and subsequent issues.

How do I get one of those cool tape measure things in my profile?

My only real concern is that I have to be at school for half days on Sept 3/4/5. No full days until the 9th. I figure I can have help setting up my classroom - not much to do (fingers crossed).

I had RNY about 20 years ago, went from 260 lbs to 180, then eventually gained back up to 315. Now I am considering a revision called Long-Limb, which extends the channel from the pouch to the intestines and removes the old unused stomach too. My consult is August 1. Has anyone had this done? I had been interested in an endoscopic stoma-reducing procedure but the surgeon thinks long-limb will be better at my BMI (49). Thanks for sharing any personal experience you've had!

Hello. Kinda new here. My question is. How long after revision from a sleeve to rny could you lay on your belly comfortably? What about getting into a spa or pool?

I have a spa weekend/massage I won, the date is already set, I will be just 6 weeks after revision. Deciding to keep it and go or push my surgery out til after this trip

Thanks

Oh, I understand now. Thanks!

Do your research on converting from a lap band to a sleeve. That is exactly what I did originally. I was told today by a very knowledgeable person that studies are showing now, if you had problems throwing up with the band, you will probably have the same problem with the sleeve. Again, do your own research and make an informed decision. Good luck
