Well as of now I’m only 12 days out and so far it’s been one of the best decisions I have made! I have not had any heartburn or puking after meals. My pain as been very minimal. The only disappointment I have had is I have not lost any weight but I’m sure once I have healed from the surgery and exercise I will lose. Since I was puking after ever meal or after anything I took in before the surgery my calorie intake was low and now that I’m actually keeping my Protein Shakes down my calorie intake is higher.

Thank you for the info! I'm going to keep an eye out for your updates as i get closer to my decision date.

I'm in the same situation with sleeve in 2013 and now surgeon is suggesting a revision to bypass or LINX to help with the severe GERD. However, they strongly recommend bypass so I'm here to do all the research I can on the experience others have had with similar situations. Would love to have the GERD gone and weight loss would be nice but terrified that bypass will actually be way more painful than I am expecting and have worse side effects like weight gain and dumping and maybe I should just deal with the GERD. Feeling really confused and hoping this forum helps me come to terms with a decision.

I wanted to post this picture b/c seeing pics like this really helped me make this decision and follow through with it. I'm 6 weeks out and down 53lbs(25 lost before surgery) from my weight in the first picture.

The EXACT same thing happened to me. It picked back up after 10 days and I lost 5lbs the following two weeks and now I'm slowing down again in week 6 but i think that's a normal trend. Good Luck!

I love how the baby items have progressed with your weight loss. From bouncer to baby gate. You're little one will never know the old you, they'll only know you as healthy and full of energy. Congrats!

My surgery date is Sept 16th. I have pre-op testing tomorrow. I feel very unprepared for this and am hoping to learn a lot at my meeting with the nurse tomorrow. All I've done so far is ordered samples of Unjury.< /p>
