Question for Revision Sleevers-Please HELP

October 20, 2011

Hi Folks,

First let me introduce myself. My name is and I live in Alaska.

I have not participated much on this board but I do enjoy all the valuable

information gained here and the sharing of everyone's amazing success.

I was banded by Dr. Aceves in 2006. I was a success in terms of weight loss

(loss 70lbs)and maintained sufficiently for 3 years. This past year, I began

experiences on going problems with the band that resulted in me making the

decision to have a revision to the sleeve.

I had the revision on 10/12/11 and so far so good. Dr Aceves and his team are

wonderful! But oh how I HATE the liquid diet once again (smile).

My questions to my fellow revision sleevers are did anyone have thier revision

done with a lower BMI? I gained 20 lbs this past summer so my weight on my

surgery day was 162 lbs (5'4). I know this sounds silly, but I am afraid of

loosing too much weight. I have already lost 9 lbs in one week! I'm so scared

of becoming a walking skeleton!

Your feedback will be so appreciated.

Thank you.
