@SCPjourney I had sleeve 2013 Now I am getting RNY

@SCPjourney Which surgery are you getting

I am suppose to be scheduled for the beginning of December but my VIT D levels were low and my dr was going to push surgery 3 months Uhhhhh NO! I had my primary write a letter saying she felt confident by that my levels should not be a reason to postpone So now 36 hours later - I have a date Dec 11

I don’t have an exact day - but my surgeon said - the first 2 weeks of December I am having a revision from sleeve to bypass Can’t believe I am in this place again- where I am nervous but yet excited for surgery

My results came back in 2 days

I am in the same Boat Sleeve in 2013 SW 260 Lowest - 170 Then had cancer - treatment and lots of unhealthy eating Now - hiatal hernia, lots of reflux Revision coming in December My dr said weight loss rate will be the same I’m getting nervous

I had my sleeve in March 2013 Did wonderfully for first 18 months until other health issues consumed my life Since then , I have gained almost all of my weight back I am now approved for a revision to a by pass Have others done this? How was weight loss the second time around? Advice?

Before all of you know it, you will be going to your6 month check up. Feeling A LoT LIghtER

I felt exactly like this before my surgery 3/27. This is a tool that helps you speed up the process of something you could do your own. You will be happy when you are a few months out. It is an incredible journey. It will make you stronger Good luck. If you ever need anything I'm here

I find that this surgery is like having a baby. You can talk to 1,000 people and no 2 people have the same experience. I feel like each person has to find what works for them. I was sleeved 3-27 and have lost 73 lbs since surgery. Not allowed any fruit and I never eat it. But I cheat with carbs. I can eat pretty much anything without feeling bad. I joined this awesome fitness ace called 9 round. I have never had such am awesome workout and it only takes 30 minutes. Tones all those loose skin places except my lower belly. That's my story. So far

4 weeks out now and 32.5 lbs

Glad everything is ok

I have read that they have to go back in if there is a leak. So I will pray for you that it doesn't have a leak. Hang in there. Let us know.

Hold a pillow over ur belly if u have to cough or sneeze. Ur throat will be sore from the tube and dry. Some hospitals have little sponges on sticks that u can ask for. Dip them in Water and rub inside ur mouth until u are allowed to drink. And walk walk walk. Good luck

Only 2 weeks out down 24 pounds . Every pound is equal to 4 sticks of butter. So there are 96 less sticks of butter on my body

Yay patty

I just started soft foods. eggs cottage cheese so far. Only 6 oz a day. Weigh in tomorrow at my first dr appt

Good luck to all of you. I had mine on march 27. Soooo relieved that I did it

Great job ndn rn!!!

Thanks fluffy

Thank you willows for explanation . And thanks joe for article

Can someone please explain to me in simple terms what slider effect is? And does everyone go thru a stall ?

Didn't you have a leak test in the hospital?

Vickysvicory. Have you weighed ourself yet

I had mine at Yale one week ago today. Good luck with yours. Just remember each day is a little different and usually a little better. Walk walk walk as soon as you can and something helped me, Not sure if Hartford automatically oes it. But my throat was really dry and soar from being intubated. My nurses gave me these mouth sponges that I could wipe inside my cheeks. Really helped until I could drink
