Hi all!
I originally had gastric bypass surgery 7 years ago. I went from 24 stone down to 13 stone (also helped by becoming a big addict to spin classes in the gym and dating a body builder at the time!).
Long story short...met a guy who loves food like I do and hates exercise, had an illness, steroids, had a child, had post natal depression, stopped going to gym etc and altogether with increasing bad eating habits its meant I’ve put most of my weight back on
Currently weigh 22 stone
Saw my original gastric bypass surgeon - Mr Shamsi El Hasani over a year ago to ask for a revision but I then got cold feet. now I’ve finally booked it for 1st April this year.
I did have an account here 7 years ago but no idea what email address I used
Anyway hello everyone!
Mr Shamsi gave me 3 options...either 1) get a band 2) have a jejunum bypass or 3) have a band and jejunum bypass.
I was going to go for option 3 (which is both band and other bypass) so this doesn’t happen again but he’s recommended to do just the bypass and if it fails I would still be left with the band as an option. I asked why it could fail and he said it’s worked for most of his revision patients but there are still a few who somehow it doesn’t work for. Kind of worries me
can’t find much info about it online either except for a couple of medical journals.
Anyway sorry for the essay and if anyone has had a bypass revision please speak up!
