I regretted it right after because of all the pain and I literally did not think i would mourn food but I did. It was the Spring and I couldn’t enjoy food and never realized how much of an impact food had on my social life. Needless to say as time went on , it did get better. I had only minor complication of an ulcer and for the most part over the last 5 years it has been ok although having doctors keep you on a vitamin regimen so that you your not anemic has been a challenge. Over the last year I noticed I was having issues with food getting stuck and throwing up and finally went in for an EGD, turns out I had a hiatel hernia and needed a partial gastrectomy . Had that on 9/19 and I was put on a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks. I am so sorry for what you have been going though and for those of you whom had severe complications , I think sometimes it’s all about the surgeon , the support staff , and the follow up the helps us recover. There are also genetic and hereditary factors that are beyond our control. I would so do it again . I started out 5 years ago at 298. I have been maintaining 178 -182 for 2 years . Because of the recent liquid diet, I’m at 170 . Good luck and prayers for everyone

Pure protein tropical fruit punch clear water was amazing and the best clear liquid I have ever had. I had my original gastric bypass in 2013 along with a hiatel hernia repair And sept 19th I had to go in and have another hiatel hernia repair with a partial gastrectomy . They put me on a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks and I remembered the first time around with this and thankfully there has been so many more tasteful products out there to stay clear but get the protein in . I also use unjury unflavored protein in my orange juice .

I had gastric bypass and i no longer have acid reflux because they were able to repair hiatal hernia . They told me that they could no repair it if I had gastric sleeve. I am 5 years out and no reflux !!!

Hi there , I had my surgery in March of 2013 and lost 100lbs in 9 months. I lost so much weight they actually wanted me to gain weight . I am in the same position you are with what I can’t eat but what I can eat isn’t very healthy. People think I’m crazy when I say I can’t eat greens , certain fruits , and meats. You are not alone.

I was at 18 months post op and 9 months consistent with my weight when they did my panilectomy. I definitely recommend getting it down when you are at your goal weight and you have continued to stay the same weight.

I had a panilectomy to remove the extra skin. It was covered by the insurance cause I was getting rashes and lots of UTI’s and yeast infections. It seems weird because of where the extra skin is located but when they pull skin up and pull skin down and cut off the extra skin , it seemed to reduce the amount of UTi and yeast infections

I did 4 weeks so that I was close to the toilet until my body was adjusted to everything and it was the perfect amount of time to see what I could and could not tolerate as far as foods and what would put me in the bathroom. It really is a personal decision but I think your body needs that to recover from a major surgery. I also know it depends on how much your covered financially for missing work. I only got paid 70% while I was out, but it was worth it to come back to work and know that I wouldn’t have to run to the bathroom and have a routine on my meals.

I am 4 months out and I don't feel hunger but I don't feel full either ... I can tell when I should eat and I just stop on my own when I think I should be full... It's hard because that was why I wanted the surgery cause I never felt full
