Hello,

I had the band revision to sleeve on the same day due to GERD and honestly I feel better now. It took me a while to go thru with the surgery but I don't regret doing it. I would recommend to educate yourself and do what you feel is right with your body.

You are right about that, it sneaks up on you, all of a sudden a few pounds become five then five becomes ten then it's so much harder to get rid of it!

Phendimetrazine. I'm down 5 pounds. Returned for 1 month follow up. Been hesitant about this process but blood pressure has remained steady, and I have felt good.

I realize portions had increased and frequency of "small snacks" had been adding calories. Lab results were very good but did show post menopausal - and there are hormonal issues that begin to affect the weight process. Especially inches gather in the abdomen area - which I had noticed but attributed to diet.

Overall - it is going well. He repeated meds for 1 more month, and I return 9/3.

That's what I've realized I did. Portions increased in meals and snacks. I don't snack to snack - but truly feel like I need it for fuel a couple of times a day. I am much more aware now and will stay focused about it.

i had a band removed and six weeks later got VSG. I still get a little GERD but it is controllable if I don't drink coffee - small price to pay. I can't say enough how great VSG is. I would highly recommend it!!!
