I had Gastric bypass surgery in 2010 and lost 107 lbs. I kept it off for 8 years and gained back 60 lbs. I had a different insurance back then and till date no new insurance have questioned that. In September 2024 I started the ZepBound injections and so far I've lost 61 lbs. my insurance covers it with a $30 refill charge for 4 infections (I take one injection weekly). I got approved because of my High Blood Pressure. Since Im loosing weight again now I'm off most of my meds including anxiety, sleeping pills as well as my prescription for the blood pressure medicine has gone down. I still have very little appetite. The most important thing that helped me to lose weight is to completely stop drinking alcohol and no sugary drinks or fried food. Good luck with the surgery and insurance.

It's important to take all the recommended vitamins. I made a mistake ignoring that advice and now my bones are really weak. I fell and fractured my wrist that needed a surgery. The bone was so weak that they need to put two pieces of titanium objects to hold it together.

did you lose anymore weight with the rny? I am thinking about doing thd same surgery I already had the sleeve and gained all my weight back so I am just wondering if you lost anymore weight?

I'm glad to hear you're feeling supported and ready to get back on track with your weight loss journey! Best of luck as you move forward with your goals and reset that ticker!

For most people a revision results in about a 20 pound weight loss. Part of that is from the liquid diet before and after the revision. When we get first surgery they are taking a stomach that can hold the amount of a two-liter soda bottle and reducing it to the size of an egg or even smaller.rr

We learn how to eat enough calories to gain weight, even with a very small stomach. The revision makes it a little smaller but most of us can easily just eat smaller meals a bit more often and weight stays pretty much the same.

If you read the revision board you will see many with high hopes and expectations before revision but very rarely anyone posting success after the first month or so.

The secret to losing the weight again is just to eat less calories than you burn. I found Weigh****chers new program extremely helpful. It took more than two years to lose 30 pounds but it did stay off. I highly recommend you start with the book, The Shift by Gary Foster.

You can lose the weight without another surgery. If you have another surgery, you still have to reduce calories for any lasting weight loss.

Can you tell me what site that is?
