How exciting. I am new here and am reading many of the stories. I am glad to see yours because it is fairly new and I can watch your progress as I decide what I can and cannot do. I wish you the best of luck. I know you will do really well and loose all the weight you desire.

for me to loose weight I have to eat less than 1000 calories a day.

I am struggling to get back on track from having surgery in 2002. I had RNY revision bypass. In 1985 had the gastric band done. Lost only 100 lbs with both only to gain weight back. I never got below 202 the first time and with the revision RNY only got down to 222. I was/am hungry all the time. Does the sleeve help with hunger? I have all the side affects of the RNY (can't eat dairy, have BMs 10-14 times in 24 hrs) but the benefits are gone. I can eat sweets, don't get sick anymore and can consume a full meal at one sitting. If I could have a procedure that would keep me from being hungry I would be great. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it.

One of the best vitamins I have found are expensive but they don't get stuck and they disolve very quickly. They are vita 4 life bariatric vitamins. A couple of times when I have tried to swallow them with not enough water and it felt like it might be stuck within 10-15 seconds I cough and you see a puff of smoke and the pill is moved or dissolved. Sounds weird but the casing disolves very quickly allowing the powder inside to get absorbed by you. I do well with them. Don't have finger cramping when I do.

In Washington State we have enhanced driver's licenses. Can we use them to cross the border?? I was under the impression it worked for Mexico.

I had a RNY bypass in 2002. In the last 5 years I have gained most of the weight back. I desire getting back on track. I felt good, physically and mentally, when I was smaller and would like to be there again. Glad to have found this site to help me prepare mentally and see what is out there to help me.
Band to Sleeve/Plication Revision

I'm new here and am reading posts to see what I can do. I don't have a band but a revision RNY bypass. I am curious about the sleeve since I have regained my weight. Didn't know of the sleeve (don't think it was available in 2002 when I had my surgery) and am curious about it. The band I have some knowledge of but didn't know the issue of slipping.
