Awesome. Have you had any challenges ?

Thanks Curvy When did you do yours?

I am lying in the hospital bed waiting to go in for my revision surgery. I am so anxious to get it done so I can move along with my life. Anyone else booked for today ??

Vicki1205 I'm flying to Puerta Vallarta. I am doing this alone, but my family is flying in at the end of the week to spend another week with me there recouping. Thank you for the well wishes. Where did you have yours done?

I can't believe it, my surgery is scheduled for Tuesday...I am so nervous !! I fly out tomorrow. I am having a revision from a vsg to a bypass. Anyone else having the same thing done?

Thanks Revision in Texas

Hi guys. Is RNY a bypass? Sorry if it's a dumb question but I am having a revision from a VSG to a bypass...my surgery is this Tuesday in PV and I am so scared this time around. Thankfully I don't have severe acid reflux but I didn't really lose much weight at all with the VSG. I am doing self pay in Mexico. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Hi. Is anyone going to use Dr. Joya in PV Mexico?

I am looking for a friend/mentor they don't have to be Canadian but it would nice to have someone local to relate to. I am going to PV to have a gastric bypass done. I had a vsg done a year ago....unfortunately it wasn't successful I am really hoping this works !!

Hi. What do you mean revision from your bypass? What did they do ?

Hi. I am booked for my bypass on Feb 11, 2014. I am having a revision from a vsg. I am very scared I have asked on the forum if anyone else had this done but I haven't had any response I am very nervous about that. Does anyone know of anyone who's had it done? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had a sleeve revised to the bypass ?

keish_lorraine the reason I say it was/is unsuccessful is because I have only lost about 40lbs total (that includes 21 lbs lost pre op) I had the surgery a year ago. KristinaRNY I hope they share their story with me...I am so scared of pushing my luck ya know....I am thinking of having it done by Dr. Joya in PV Febuary 11th, 2014. Lovinglife thank you for sharing your story...I hope your pain subsides soon. I had no pain after my VSG so I am afraid that I am gonna be in alot of pain this time

Hi all, has anyone gone from having a vsg to a bypass ? I had my vsg done a year ago and it was not successful. So now my only option is to have a bypass revision.

Is anyone using Dr. Joya for their surgery ? any Canadians on here ?

Whoops I wasn't done ! I was sleeved Jan 21, 2013. I started at 265lbs and am currently at 220lbs...the first 30 were pre op... I walk, swim and am thinking of trying the trampoline...it worked for my kids I feel like a complete failure..I did self pay so I don't have anyone to visit for advice etc...i'm wondering if it's possible not enough of my stomach wad cut out... I am well beyond frustrated at this point !!!

Omg you sound just like me !! I was sleeved JAN 21

Very handsome !! cute and smart

North-chicky I was sleeved in January ;(

Thank you Fiddle man. I appreciate all your words !!!

Has anyone got some tips on losing belly fat? I'm having a hard time with it. I appreciate any help

I'm 6 months out too...I've been stalled for months I thought I was the only one. I am so discouraged at this point. I've even tried going back to liquids for a bit. Still the same so I feel your pain !

Thanks for the advise, I guess I'm heading to the grocery store for healthier options tomorrow....and Laura more chicken

Really ?? Omg I messing myself up here, I think I'm going to have to change my meals again. I just figured polenta was easily digestible..

Oh I've tried fitness pal, but I don't know how to log meals unless there pre packaged, which I try not to eat much of.
