I've had 4 c-sections, an appendectomy, a cholecystectomy, and a laparoscopic hysterectomy. I am extremely nervous about possible scar tissue and the sleeve being a lot harder because of it. For those of you that have had the sleeve already did your procedure take longer? Was your recovery harder? I think it was easier for me to get up and move after my 1st c-section because u knew that moving would help my recovery move along faster.

I’m planning a revision from the sleeve. I look forward to keeping up with everyone’s journey

Hello everyone. I’m so glad to see this forum. I’m planning a revision to the mini bypass as well. I was originally sleeved in 2013. As with everyone else, I’m plagued with heartburn and weight gain. I’m planning to self pay and return to my original surgeon. I’m hoping to have my surgery sometime this summer.

I had sleeve to bypass, but not because of GERD. My sleeve was so stretched out, it was useless. I'm happy to answer any questions about the process.

Hi March Bypass Buddies! My surgery was almost a year ago - March 5, 2018. I had GB RNY. I was nervous - didn't know what to expect, but determined to get healthy. Now, almost one year post-op, I am 5 pounds away from my goal (though if I stayed right where I am, I am perfectly happy). I have my eating under control - I work out 3 times per week (mostly toning and light weights) - I'm in a size 2 or 4 depending on the designer (from a size 20) and my hair is slowly growing back (I am wearing a topper in the new picture).
Pictures are worth 1000 words - so here you go!

Look forward to watching your journeys over the next year!

I had my resleeve done at mexico bariatric center in Tijuana. My cost was right around 5800.00

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my fellow February 2013 sleevers! What an exciting year this has been! So much change but also, of course, some struggles too. May your New Year be filled with joy, continuing weight loss success, improved health and happiness!

Sleeved 02/26/2013 by Dr Fernando Garcia in Tj Mx. Down a total of 57.8 pounds. SW 232, CW 174. scale will sometimes slowly move back and fourth. This is the frustrating part. Keeping under 1000-1200 calories. Trying to exercise 2-3 x week. I feel great just wish I were losing a little faster. Oh and I'm 5'1.

One thing about it running from pokey should keep you in shape.

Back on January 9th, a group of Pekin , Illinois bikers were riding west on I-74
when they saw a girl about to jump off the Murray Baker Bridge .
So they stopped.
George, their leader, a big burly man of 53, gets off his Harley, walks
through a group of gawkers, past the State Trooper who was
trying to talk her down off the railing, and says,
"Hey Baby.....whatcha doin' up there on that railin'?"
She says tearfully, "I'm going to commit suicide!!"
While he didn't want to appear "sensitive," George also didn't want
to miss this "be-a-legend" opportunity either so he asked …
"Well, before you jump, Honey-Babe...why don't you give ole George here your best last kiss?"
So, with no hesitation at all, she leaned back over the railing
and did just that … and it was a long, deep, lingering kiss
followed immediately by another even better one.
After they breathlessly finished, George gets a big thumbs-up approval
from his biker-buddies, the onlookers and even the
State Trooper and then says,
"Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had, Honey!
That's a real talent you're wasting, Sugar Shorts. You could be
famous if you rode with me. Why the hell are you committing suicide?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."
It's still unclear whether she jumped or was pushed.

This is hilarious!

I decided to take pics this morning, but did a side and back angle. SW: 248. Current weight: 145. Goal is 130.

Jan3. 344. Sept 3. 224. Still a work in process!!

Thanks, this is so challenging sometimes and you have to try to stay focused. This is a tool and sometimes I slip up but I'm loving my sleeve. I've lost about 63 pounds which is great. 100 would be better, lol
