    Pre op panic!

    I think you will be okay if you have lost weight you are probably shrinking your liver. It just depends on how big it was to begin with I imagine. The smaller it is the safer your surgery will be though so definitely don’t do it again. The more important thing I would be asking myself is if you can do the post op diet without cheating. No judgement here if you can’t but you really need to be certain you are prepared for it because one little cheat post op and you can seriously hurt yourself. If you aren’t ready there is no shame in that. Only you know if you are really ready for the post ip changes. If not, Perhaps a bariatric therapist can help you explore why you are “cheating”.

    Sorry you are struggling. A lot of people struggle early out, and they say it gets better. It will get better. Based on your post, it seems your surgeon disregarded you not being able to eat due to all the other concerns they found. Maybe you should revisit that with your surgeon, even with a phone call. Good luck and I hope you start feeling better soon.

    1. You can get a sleeve if you want to, but it's not necessary. I've had my left arm amputated twice before and have been able to live a normal life without any problems. I don't think it's necessary to have a sleeve. If you do choose to have a sleeve, make sure you're getting one that fits properly. There are some sleeves out there that are way too big and cause a lot of pain. Also, make sure you're having it done by someone who knows what they're doing. 2. You'll need to learn how to use prosthetics. You'll need to learn how your prosthetic works and how to care for it. Make sure you know how to clean it, oil it, and adjust it. You'll also need to learn how to put it on and take it off. 3. You'll need to find a good prosthetist. Make sure you find a good prosthetists who specializes in amputees. Most people who have a limb removed end up going to a doctor who does general orthopedics. These doctors aren't trained to work with prosthetics. A good prosthetist should be able to help you figure out what size socket you need and where to place it. 4. You'll need to buy new clothes. If you decide to go ahead with a sleeve, you'll probably need to buy new clothes since you won't be able to wear your old ones anymore. 5. You'll need to get fitted for a new prosthesis. This means finding a prosthetist who specializes in amputee prosthetics. Once you find him/her, make sure you tell them about your situation and ask them questions about your options. 6. You'll need to start taking medication again. When you have a sleeve, you'll need to start taking medications again. Your doctor may prescribe you different types of drugs depending on what kind of amputation you had. 7. You'll need to deal with depression. Depression is something that many people struggle with after losing a limb. Make sure you talk to your doctor about ways to combat this problem.

    Not to be "that guy" but the procedure is called a Roux-En-Y

    never really heard of people going from bypass to a sleeve revision. dont really get how that works because a sleeve is basically getting rid of 85% of your stomach and giving you a sleeve. Bypass is even more restrictive with a smaller pouch but the other part of the stomach remains. So they just removed that other part of the stomach i am guessing?
