HELP Revision brothers and sisters!...
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.
I'm so sorry . I just had my revision from band to rny Tuesday so I can't offer any advice, just hope it gets better for you.

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