Started at a 20 I'm in a 18/16 I want to be in a size 10 dream size 8/6.

I did the sleeve lost only 35lb in 6 1/2 months my Rny is in June the sleeve is the most painful thing I have ever done three 9 1/2lb kids Natural childbirth and my gallbladder removed in the 90's. The sleeve has a 20% Failure rate as well. I wanted the Rny to start with They say the sleeve is less invasive but if you really think about it no its not its removing 85% Of your stomach that is not reversible! The Rny if it does not work slim chance of that btw but it can Be reversed. Don't do what I did don't fall for the fad wls and then have to do this all over again do it right the first time.

That cost is not too bad. Did you have any complications?

I had the band' date=' lost 70 pounds, the band slipped and I had to have it removed. I have gained back the 70 pounds. It is very discouraging to me. My insurance covered the band but will not cover RNY. I am in Cincinnati.[/quote']

My only complication was I didn't loss much weight 35lbs in 6 1/2 months.

I'm a sleeve to RNY revision too... surgery date is May 7th. Would love to be your buddy

We have talked before and yep I think we will be buddy's

9,850 up front and payments on the rest Total 18k. I payed for my sleeve the same way that I will pay for my Rny. Clear balance or credit care are good to look into I'm in Ohio

Hubby and I still go out but now we get one dinner and split it and we ask the staff to do that for us they do it with np. When they ask me what I want to drink I alway ask If they have Coke or Pepsi No matter what one they say I say oh what a shame I'm a diehard so-and-so fan I'll just have Water they never look at me odd at all. We always say I had a late lunch lets split dinner and the staff always does it np at all . When we are out with the kids me and my two younger ones split a "big ppl dinner" it's fun for the kids saves me money and the staff this is so sweet. I was sleeved on 9/26/12 and will get a Rny in June.

I'm looking for a revision buddy I'm sleeve to Rny but lost like a band so that's why I'm doing Rny

I'm 37 5'6 mother of 3 I go up and down from 206/210. My date is first week of June So anyone want to be buddy's

My loose skin is in my face' date=' not on my abdomen. I have fat cheeks, new lines when I smile, and a line of skin hanging from my neck. I am a 49 year old man, is it too early for a facelift and necklift? Would I look like a space alien after getting one? Or should I just let the skin hang and shake however it wants to do so? Is recovery from a facelift and necklift painful? For those of you who have had one, are you glad you had it? Did you have any complications? How about scarring?[/quote']

I would say no it's ok to do a min face lift I think I might have to get one next year as well But a min not a full call around and A lot of doctors do free consultations look into it might even be fun to find info Good luck

I would def hand her one of your surgeons cards!!lol some people just can't help themselves!

This is a fav as well and both something I would so do lmao Man I never have drama at work

Whats that line: " You can never be too rich or too thin." Add that you're working on the rich part!

Ok yeah this is my fave lmao I would so say that with I'm working on rich next lmao

I had the sleeve done in 2009 and I lost about 70lbs but in the past year I have regained most of the weight back. I am now in the process of doing all the pre testing to do the bypass but i have so many concerns that I'm just confused as to weather I should have the surgery. I keep hearing that having revision surgery puts you at a higher risk for complications and gastric leak. I keep telling myself that its just like having any other surgery and there will always be a risk but I'm still scared to death. Has anyone here had sleeve to gastric bypass revision? I hope to here from someone just to hear from someone that had gone through the experience and maybe can share some pointers.

I will have mine in June and not worried at all we had the hardest one already and the most painful. I'm having mine coz I only have lost 35 lbs in 6 1/2 months . The risk is so low it's less then what the sleeve was So when will you be with me as a sleeve to Rny so very few of us. The sleeve is such a fad thing right now I'm sure there will be more of us down the road.

There is a great app called Zombie 5K. I just started it a couple days ago. It is fun and I use it on my IPhone. Suggested by another member and I am gratefull.

Surgery 2/14-217 ' date=' CW 192 GW 140[/quote']

I love that one I'm on my 2nd go on it for the zombie run part

I sent you a email

Yes I have it on my iPhone and pad.

Congrats that's great

I what to know how did you train I want to start running but where do I start

Sent from my iPad using RNYTalk

I just stared running not to long ago I do the free C25k app it's teaches you how to go from walk to run and helps you get into running

I'm wondering if we can drink the V8 energy drink it contains 10g sugar.. my fear is that it also contains green tea?

Is green tea bad for Rny? I know I can have it with my sleeve but getting a Rny in June.

20 min on the elliptical' date='20min Circuit training, 20min walk 10 min jogging. Total calorie burn 777 that was today workout[/quote']

Same I do this 5 days a week I mix up my rest days now and then.

Still on my pureeds nd im a little tired of the cream of chicken soup..

Fat-free refried Beans plain Greek yogurt green packet of sauce from Taco Bell blend it up it's pretty good. Rotisserie chicken thigh no skin a little bit of chicken gravy. Hormel turkey chili a little cheese. Cranberry Jell-O turkey meat dadh of chicken broth. Hope that helps I was a sleeve going to a RNY but the pureed food I think are the same just want to make sure to add that

Ok June ppl lets get to know each other. I have been down this road once had the sleeve 9/26/12. I would like to share with you some of the tricks I learned.

1: Get a ninja blender Or a magic bullet It can make snowcones you just add Crystal light or Dasani Water drops to the ice Blend away and eat it with a Toddler or dessert spoon . Eat as many as you like all day and night huge help.

2: Start playing around with your preop diet now test it out for a day or two see how long you can do it. I did this 60 days before I had to do mine and by the time it was for real it was a walk in the park and I did not cheat .

3: Start playing around with puréed food yep see what's good now. I did this found some good things was a lot easier and less of a struggle when it came to what do I eat it wasn't foreign or new to me because I tried it out first. chicken breast gravy blended up. Hormel turkey chili little bit of cheese blend it. Fat-free refried Beans plain Greek yogurt green sauce packet from Taco Bell little cheese blended up.

4: Start taking all of the required Vitamins now.

5: Protein protein and more protein Don't buy a lot of it your taste buds will change. For the first two or three months after surgery by only sample packs or small sets of protein Again your taste buds will change.

6: Start making a walk routine now. Walk 3 times a day for 10 mins each time. By the time you are done you will have a 30 min walk in.

7: If you smoke stop smoking now this was hard for me to. Soda pop drinkers you might want to cut back coz like smoking Cold turkey Sucks. These two take some time to work out of your life . Ok that's all I have ATM I hope this will help all of us June ppl to have a leg up and do the best we can do

P.s yes I know my typing sucks its this iPhone I think it hates me lol

After my sleeve yeah I can't sleep sometimes. I hope after my RNY it will go away lol.

It lasted for a but I burnt the motor out making shakes lmao. I have a ninja blender now.

Mine will be done here in Ohio self pay as well will be at Sycamore it comes to about the same price I get one year after care with the nutritionist the surgeon and exercise pathologist for the price and it is because I need the metabolic reset of the Rny I lost only 35lbs in 6 months.

Dayton Ohio here and sleeve to bypass in June

Lobster tail 1/4 cup broccoli. Not bad but cooked the lobster to long lol it was frozen. dinner 73 Calories total.
