WHY? Weight loss surgery is weight loss surgery, with the same challenges and victories for everyone. We don't need to know someone's race, age, gender, or sexual preference to offer encouragement, advice, and support.

Sounds like you're stuck in the starve-binge-cycle / dieting-loss-of-control-eating-cycle (again).
You might benefit from:
- staying away from stupid fad diets like pouch reset
- stop exercising as punishment for overeating
- eating foods you really like regularly to prevent loss of control eating
- reading the book Brain Over Binge
These are things you can try right away without being depended on other people / having to wait for appointments and that'll hopefully help.

I’m still here. I going on 4 yrs post op.
I’m not on here a lot, but we’re here❤️

I am a VSG to RnY revision but not because my VSG failed me, because of GERD. I didn’t hit my weight goal but I lost 47% of my excessive weight and maintained until my revision. I do know I learned a lot between surgery 1 & 2 and my biggest take away is my surgery didn’t fail me but I definitely failed my surgery. Your tool, or whatever you call it, doesn’t decide what you eat or when you eat. It doesn’t choose to drink while eating or to graze. You get out of it what you put into it.

I had the sleeve 4.5 years ago.... no problems after surgery

Hi everyone.
I’m 4 years post op sleeve. I’ve been getting acid reflux since 6 months after the procedure. Never had it before.
After multiple meds and finally an upper GI done 3 weeks ago i now have GERD. Big deal right? Well, I’m taking protonics 40mg, but, I just heard that causes cancer.
What doesn’t right? Lol I just want to know, is the only permanent relief going to a by-pass?

I’m willing to go through a surgical fix. I can’t stand this anymore.

Such a relief to hear others are going through the same thing. I was sleeved In 2014. About 8 months after I got severe heart burn, had the gall bladder removed. Still heart burn. After multiple meds I got an endoscopy over two weeks ago with some biopsies. I would LOVE to fix this, I don’t care if I need to have surgery.

What makes me successful long term is.... never stop believing in yourself. Corny yes, but helps me. I talk to myself in a mirror ( I know , I know ). But seeing what I’m saying and thinking what I’m saying are two different things.
I’ve been down for a good 1.5 years and was about to say “F this” but, I prayed and prayed and started to believe in myself.

Omg me too!!! I do love how he just tells them how it is. Like that Steven Assanti, that guy is a real manipulator

Hi guys!
I am 3 years out on 12/2/17. This has been the hardest year so far. I have lost my will order over emotional eating and have put in 15 lbs over the year.
As far as the pouch reset? I’m not sold on that.

I don’t see him till December, but I can make an appointment to see him if it gets any worse

It’s been a long time since I was 15 days out. I’m 3 years out and get head hunger daily, always have since surgery. If I counted the times I was actually hungry in a day? Like, 2 times. The rest is in my head. I can’t stand it. Or emotional eating when I get stressed or aggravated. My nutritionist said I need to find out why I go to food as comfort. I see a therapist but, haven’t really pin pointed why I do as of yet.
You’ll get there, work the program like they say and exercise. Because you don’t want to be in my shoes 3 years down the road saying “ WTH happened??”
Good luck to all the new post ops [emoji173]️

I have worried about Barrett’s esophagus. They have been aware of my heartburn since 18 p/o. I’m 3 years out. I’m gonna ask for one. I’ve tried all the meds, I want to know. As you know it burns like hell
