wow, you look great...I'm 5 weeks out. Day of surgery I was 183, this morning, I was 174.8. I just feel like crying.

okay, we have similar stats. I'm 5'3". i was 183 the day of surgery. After 2 weeks I was at 173, but nothing since 17 March 2017. I cant eat much either. I actually gt really naseau. I went back to work after 8 days. Im still tired quite a bit,,,,,Some days my body just shut down. Good luck...I get a little sad

Did anyone start with a low BMI? If so, I am curious how your weight loss is going.

I had surgery on 3/4/2017. Sleeve to MGB. Starting weight 190, Weight day of surgery was 183. 3/10/2017 was 190..then scale stated moving. By 3/18/2017 I was 173 and I have been at that every since...as a matter of fact yesterday I was 175. I am so disappointed and scared that something is wrong...How is this? I had hoped to be at 150 by June. At this rate I wont get there. I know I am just at 4 weeks post op, but this was not what I expected.

wow, Im sorry that you are going through all of that.....

Hmmm, I ready about the smell afterwards...I wonder why that is...

you yes, this does help....I am scheduled for MGB on 4 March (Not Dr. Ponce), but I am nervous and excited. how are you feeling today....Hows the weight loss coming.

I was trying to wait to get it done by Dr. R, but I never heard back from him on his availability, so I just moved forward with my plans to go to Mexico.

My surgery is 4 March and I am having some serious anxiety...I am also terrified of IVs. Hoping they can give me something before the IV.....but oh my god this anxiety about the surgery and Mexico.....I don't know which or if it both.....hope I don't back out...

curious....bikerchic...who did you go to in Mexico?

I had the sleeve back in 2012 and I lost a little hair....I am headed to Mexico for a MGB on 4 March 2017. I plan to cut my hair short anyway. I went natural in 2012...my hair is very healthy, but my weight is not...so imma lose the weight and cut my hair short and let me hair grow back and work hard this time to ensure the weight don't come back as it did after the sleeve.....

thank you

I'm being told that the mini RNY and the mini Gastric Bypass are the same, but when I read, it says something different...Can anyone enlighten me? "Roux-en-Y laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, on the other hand, is much more complicated. Unlike mini gastric bypass, with RNY the small intestine is cut and two connections are made instead of one. In addition, the pouch created during the mini gastric bypass is larger ...Dec 31, 2016"

Just take care of yourself. I have been working with a place in TJ for the MGB and I just read my paperwork and it says that I am scheduled for a mini RNY. i don't want a RNY. I've read the dangers.

Just take care of yourself. I have been working with a place in TJ for the MGB and I just read my paperwork and it says that I am scheduled for a mini RNY. Pretty certain they are two different surgeries.....so make sure you read your paperwork and are scheduled to get EXACTLY what you request
