Hi all,
I had the sleeve done in Sept 2013. I've been having severe GERD/reflux since, with barium swallows showing instantaneous backflow up my esophagus. I'm tired of the constant heartburn, so I'm having the bypass procedure done next month.
Anyone else go through this? How did the bypass procedure compare to the sleeve - pain wise, recovery time, post-op diet, etc?
Also curious about additional weight loss... SW was 234, GW was 155. I reached 147, but CW is now 180 (sleeve has stretched and I admittedly haven't adhered to diet very well).

Finally lost 30lbs!!! It was my first goal
Starting weight 234.4
Surgery date 9/18
Current weight 204.0
5 pounds away from Onederland!!

Just wanted to share... I was sleeved on the 19th and was cleared yesterday to move onto puréed foods. I bought a rotisserie chicken and shredded and blended the chicken, and then added very little light mayo, garlic & onion powder, and salt n pepper, and it tastes like chicken salad... Super quick, easy, something different and gets in some Protein. Thought I'd share for those getting tired of the same old.

Thanks! Ill have to look for it. I've found using sugar free hot chocolate with a little chocolate Unjury isn't too bad. I just got approved to move onto puréed foods so hopefully fruit smoothies will mask some of the Protein flavor. I've also been eating Dannon Light n Fit Greek Yogurt... It's low cal and has 12g of protein so if I have two of those a day it's better than nothing.

You look awesome!! Congratulations and keep it up

You look AMAZING!! And I bet you feel better too. Keep up the great work!!

Good luck!! Keep us updated

Good luck to everyone having their surgery today!!
I'm new to the site, kind of new to this whole thing all around. My nutritionist recommended surgery July 18th, and it's scheduled for next week, Sept 18th. All the tests are done, insurance approved, meeting with the surgeon and nutritionist one last time tomorrow. I can't believe how much my life is changing in just two months.
Luckily I only have one day of liquids-only pre-op. Oh and I'm from Illinois. Looking forward to keeping in touch with all of you September Sleevers out there so we can help each other along
