Revision on 04/18/16

I am so amazed at how the weight is falling off! I stick to the plan mapped out by the doctor, walk every day (either do the same or increase a bit just a little each day). I see a difference in my face and my clothes already too. Because I had a conversion from a vertical banded gastroplasty to the RNY, I was lectured by the PA at my post-op appointment that this was my last chance and I have been dealing with a small bit of "eating" issues as in no wanting to eat (not sure if that is normal or not) but for the most part, feeling pretty good

I just had the exact same revision on April 28th. The restriction is so different feeling.  I spent so many years with thngs getting stuck and coming back up. This is a whole new experience. Should be so much better!  Best of luck!

This is a bit late, but yes the exact same for me!  I knew almost immediately that the revision was going to make life easier!  No more food getting stuck and coming back up!  Love my new rny revision!  Can eat pork and beef again now too!

Congrats on the revision! That horrible VBG was a torture for so many people. It's great you got rid of it.

It sounds like you are doing fantastic. Don't be disappointed when your loss slows -- there's no way you will maintain this rate of loss. But it's a marvelous start.

Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.

I just had this revision too. I did get my silastic band off about 2 years ago due to continue ugly bringing up food. I think that's why I lost weight as I literally couldn't keep anything down.
Was awful so far feel great with this but is only week 2.
So encouraging to hear how well you're doing with the revision.
