Hi all! I had my sleeve in 2011, lost 100lb, then slowly gained it all back. After trying every diet known to man, decided to try revision surgery. My insurance wouldn't cover it so I had to pay cash. I had surgery on Dec 29, and have had a good deal of pain but finally feeling better and returning to work tomorrow. I am nervous and having a lot of self-doubt that I did not anticipate. What if it doesn't work? What if the 20lb I've lost so far doesn't turn into 40, then 60, then 100...what if I've put my body through this and my family into debt for nothing?? I've only started on the 3rd phase of post op diet yesterday, pureed. I'm worried that I haven't felt full when I've eaten a normal portion of oatmeal for breakfast and cottage cheese for lunch. What if I end up able to eat as much as I was before?? I definitely have more education and resources than I did the first time around, but I just wish I had the confidence I thought I would before surgery. Anyone else feeling this way???
