I am one of the few to have all three weigh loss procedures. I had lab band in 2010 and it was awful. I had no quality  of life and couldn't  keep any food down. In 2012 I got a revision from lab band to sleeve and received  a botched sleeved. My stomach  was never shaped like a banana.  My sleeve  was  more like a light  bulb but extremely  narrow  at the bottom. I could eat anything with my sleeve. I didn't have restrictions at all. With the sleeve and lab band I work very hard and lost  between  12-20 lbs. For a couple  of years I have up and got up to 268lbs. So January 11, 2015 I decided  I was going to do what it takes  to get the weight off. I went to see Dr. FRENZEL and I was 265. He told me he needed to do an egd  to see how  my stomach  looked. That's when we found out about the large pouch at the top of my sleeve. Dr. Frenzel  and i decided I should  have got a bypass from the start and i decided to get a revision. In the mean time I continued to work out and I redid  everything  required  to get insurance  approval. My weight before  the pre op diet was 242. At the hospital May 14,2015, the day of surgery I was 231.6. After surgery  I woke up in pain. I was so sick and vomit all night.I really  regret  having  this revision.  I kept think whatdid you do.  I finally  had the strength  to walk and I noticed  my incisions was leaking. Blood was soaking  through  my gown  and on the floor. The nurses at Forrest  Park are awsome.  They  assured  me every was find and put a bandage on the wound. I have now gotten over my regret  it and I feel better about my decision. I'm excited  to see what the future  hold.
