Does anyone know how to rest from gastric bypass?

August 26 revision from sleeve to bypass

I have Blue Cross and they just approved my revision due to medical reason

What is 10 kgs

I just got approved from BC for a revision from sleeve to Rny

How do you add the Water reminder on an iPhone

I am interested I am about 25 pounds away from my goal weight

I wish I would of had the bypass instead of sleeve, like you I had mild Gerd before surgery but now after the surgery I am taking two different medications cause my gerds/ heartburn got worst. Some patients it went away after losing weight so I thought that would be me cause I felt the same way you did not wanting to go with a risky surgery go with the safe one.

My Surgery was May 3, and I am down 49lbs. My tool is working for me, I just ignor all of the negative talk about how we should all be losing faster. I feel that we will lose it when we lose it, come off slow makes less of a hanging skin effect, at least I think so.

I had my surgery May 3, 2018 lost 40 lbs having issues with Constipation tired alot
I also walk about 4-6 miles a day.

Thank you very much for posting that.

Can someone please tell me again on the site for trying to see if your insurance covers your Protein Shakes. I remember someone mentioning it on here but can’t seem to find it again.

One of the top three reasons I chose to have the RNY gastric bypass is to get relief from the horrible heartburn that I experienced from GERD and to hopefully (ultimately) get regression from Barrett's Esophagus.
Not daily, but once or twice a week since surgery, I have had worse heartburn then I ever experienced prior to surgery. I am taking the same medicine (40mg Prilosec and my surgeon told me to add 300mg of Zantac after the first week) and my diet is the blandest it has ever been. I literally only eat vanilla OIKOS Zero yogurt, bananas, almond milk, Premier Protein, no sugar added applesauce, plain rolled oats and chicken broth.
I am scared. Could this be an ulcer? A leak? Or is this just a normal part of healing that I will only experience in the beginning and will then live a more comfortable life? I had read so many wonderful storied about how people never experienced GERD again after RNY....many had RNY just to get relief from GERD.
Anyone else out there having issues with heartburn like me?

How much time should you request off after having the sleeve done.

I totally understand what you are saying I am 5'2 at 213 lbs, with diabetes heart problems and high blood pressure that runs in our family. Father and mother passed because of this and afraid of this. I want to see my grand children and my own children live there lives. You need to do what's right for you.

Thank you GassyGurl...I will try it

Does anyone know anything about insurance covering your Protein Shakes?

Crescent City, CA

Thank you for that information...I plan on listening to what my doctor suggested

Saw my doctor yesterday and he suggested I get the band removed and get the bypass instead of sleeve cause of my intolerable acid reflex..will need to

Do research as I don't know if I want to do the bypass

I am getting a revision I was told they will take the band out and then I will need to wait at least six weeks to get the
Sleeve done it also depends on the
Insurance approval

Did you have to wait after having the band removed to get the sleeve..I have to get a revision done.

Had my surgery on Monday. Doing Well, but some pain. Because I was a conversion, more had to be done. I am glad the lap band is gone. I am having a little left shoulder pain, I kind of feel like I have been ran over by a truck, but,
really not that bad.

The surgery will help you but it won't fix your unhappiness and frustration you will need to continue with therapy to help you get to feel good about yourself and what's in you as a person. Feel and talking the way you do just means you really want this which means you will work hard to get there. That's a good step forward.
