Revision Surgery

 Even though that is a sad face my hope is alive again.  I had Gastric Bypass surgery March of 2002.  I was 340lbs to 198lbs then I got pregnant.  I was only a little over a year out.  I had my baby June 2004 and went up to 250lbs I also went through a major depression.  I got pregnant again in 2005 had a miscarriage then got preganat again.  I had my baby May 2006.  My body has been though the ringer.  I was again faced with depression after the birth.  I looked in the mirror after getting put on Lexapro and I was 330lbs again.  My heart dropped.  So now I am looking into revision surgery, Has anyone else had it? HELP I see Stickler June 16th I hope i get my second chance. Shannon

Hello,  I hope you do get a second chance. You have really been through it the past few years. I am just now beginning my wls surgery journey. I have first consult on June 13. Just though I would send you a response to let you know I am here to help with support.

Thank you Melinda I will cross my fingers for you as well.  I just hope Dr. Stickler will do it.  I am not sure if he has done any yet.  I know Dr. Shin has done some and I would love to talk to them.  GOOD LUCK and keep me posted.

My cousin went to Dr. Shin. She sings his praises. Keep me updated on which dr. you find is best for you.  I am personally going to Dr. Nease in Huntington.

I can't help you on the revision question, but just ask Dr Stickler when you see him.  He's my surgeon and will answer any question you ask him.  I couldn't ask for a better surgeon! I have a 6 month appt on the 16th for my 6 month follow-up.  Maybe I'll see you in the waiting room!
