I am having revision surgery on May 30th my kids and brother are not supporting my decision at all. I lost weight and did good with the band but my heartburn was out of control and I kept getting growths on my esophagus so they took out the fluid and I now weight what I did when I got the band. I am so over my weight problem and at the end of my rope. I am already afraid I will fail and they only reinforce that because I gained the weight back.
My family is totally against my choice to have revision surgery from band to bypass.

don't let them talk you out of it if you really want it. I would just say ok and walk away. Let them think they won. You only gain because they took the liquid out. The bypass is basically the same thing but it is forever. It will help you will the acid reflux as well. If you really want it, you will not let them talk you down.

Bariatric Advantage has a pretty good chewable vitamin. Ask your nutritionist for vitamin samples. Mine gave my many different kinds to try.

It is called the goodie bag. I got mine on my last appointment with the surgeon. They have alot of good stuff in there. They even gave me my first bowl and little spoon.
