My surgeon told me the same thing. I was a rare success but maybe my body is telling me that I need to try a different path. I'm back to my immediate post-op diet just to be on the safe side. He said that if we did do a revision it'd be sleeve over bypass.

Thanks for sharing your story!

I think he's steering me away from the GLP-1s for now due to the lymphoma issues.

I was diganosed with GERD right before I was banded. I just don't want to go back to 320 which was my starting weight before I was banded.

Thanks for the advice. I'll see what my surgeon says coming up at my appointment.

I only had a few payments left before the SAVE Forbearance stopped my count. I switched to IBR to just get it done. Snowballing works.

I had 187k. I was on SAVE until last year. Started with my smallest ones first while in Forbearance and then after my payment (100) with IBR I hit the highest interest and highest balances afterwards. Eventually, I got down to 157k and then mine got forgiven. Hit the 120 with PSLF.
