Nice, early NSV! Wtg!

Update: I went back and forth with one of my surgeon’s coordinators today and I had the Single Anastomosis Gastric bypass (aka mini gastric bypass) plus the gastric sleeve which together is the literal definition of the SASI procedure, so it appears that’s the name for it!

Hi. I see you got the sleeve just a few years ago. Why are you getting a revision?

I am scheduled for May 10. Currently on day 6 of my pre op diet…..just counting the days!

Amen!

My surgery is tentatively set for 6/6 pending insurance. My biggest struggle right now is my surgeon wants no protein shakes. All whole food. I don’t know how many eggs I can eat.

If it Feels like you are working at fluids all day then you are doing it right. You are taking small sips all day long vs guzzling large amounts a few times a day. You will get used to it. It just takes a bit of time.

Hi everyone, I'm Kirsten from Vancouver, Canada. I am getting RNY bypass in a few weeks and I am super excited for how this is going to change my life.

It’s good to hear you’re doing well!

Hello everyone I am new here. I found this site and found it very helpful during this process. I got gastric bypass on 4/18. I was so scared before the surgery. Now I wish I had this done many years ago. I would say problems I had were constipation ( no bowel movement for 11 days. I always had constipation but this was extreme. I am on linzess and now lactulose solution 10 ml 3x daily. I also had problems consuming enough protein liquid. I got 2 flavors of isopure. Yuck… I hate it! I forced myself to drink at least 1 bottle per day. Now I am on purée food. I am still trying to figure out what to purée and not. I am not much of a cook so this part is very hard for me. So far puréed cod fish, yam, green beans. Cottage cheese, triple zero yogurt, premiers protein shake….( also yuck! ) I miss my Korean food! I have only lost 10 lbs. pre liquid I lost 13 lbs in 5 days. I am confused why I am not losing any weight at this point hopefully someone can give me some feedback. Thank you everyone for your posts and I am glad to be here.
