The Reality of it all.......Revision????

Oct 12, 2011

 Well Ive been gone for sometime but I lurk more than I comment now a days    I think for me 2011 has been kind of blah for me with my weight loss, well lack there of.  You see I had my Sleeve 3/09/2010, I loved it and still love my surgeon Dr. Carlin but 10/2010 is the last time I had any weight loss. So at first I thought oh im just in a hella long stall, I saw my surgeon at my 1 year appointment needless to say he wasnt happy about my progress and I wasnt honest with him I wasn't 100% all the time but I should have been further in my journey.

Ive done the boring and bland thing like he suggested, tried a protein train here and there, had some set backs but still no weight loss.  Theres no way Im eating as much as I was prior to surgery and I even still have the tendency to throwup.

I just feel like my body got to like 260-250 weight and decided to just kick it here and stay.  To top that all off Ive developed HBP when prior to I had no issues. At this point Im 19 months out and I stopped losing weight when I was 7 months out and dare I say I may have even gained 5 pounds.

So with research and the support of a few(I mean few) friends and my mom Ive decided to look into having a revision of the Sleeve to the RNY.  I can say this time around its totally different for me I feel like Ive failed my sleeve and embarrassed at the fact that I stopped losing weight. Im currently around 258 right now and I could stand to lose 80 or so more pounds. 

Before I was all open about my process but this time I can count on my hand how many people Ive told I just dont think many people would understand my struggle and to have went through the first surgery and STILL be Obese just tears me up.
