lwyatt reacted to GBLady41 in Those who have had mini bypass
I had mini gastric bypass in Mexico through BariatricPal TeamMX with Dr. Illan on December 12th, 2016. It cost me $5400.00, which I think is determined on your weight, BMI, and maybe your medical history, but I'm not sure. I stayed in the hospital 3 days and 3 nights. I didn't really have too much pain. I had soreness and gas pains. The gas pains were worse than anything else but it got progressively better as I walked more and more. I walked for the first time a couple of hours after I got back to my hospital room after recovery from the surgery.
Dr. Illan is one of the best surgeons in Mexico. I watched my surgery video. Both him and the other two surgeons on his surgical staff handled the surgery with precision and great care. It did not seem like it was a more complicated surgery to perform. Your acid reflux problems should end after this surgery. I had acid reflux and LPRD (silent reflux) and I have had no problems. They give you omeprazole that lasts 14 days, I think. After I finished those, I started retaking one pantoprazole (Protonix) 40m caplet a day just for precaution, and until I go back to my ENT doctor to get scoped, to see if I still have LPRD. I'll probably wait 6 months before I do that. Both RNY and mini gastric bypass have been shown to get rid of acid reflux problems because of how things are rerouted.

I thought this surgery was going to change my life. Instead I feel worse than ever. I never even drank soda before this and now I guzzle it down all day long! Before surgery I stocked my cupboards with all the junk foods I wanted to eat as a last hurrah and I thought I would have no problem with it after the surgery! But the hurrah just keeps going! I ate an entire plate of cookie dough last night before bed.
Now all I can do Is eat candy and burgers, go out dancing and have one night stands. I just found out I'm pregnant from the last one I had the week after surgery! I still had my stitches in and we got it on all night and snorted some #%##% and order room service - pancakes!!!
I just stretch my pouch and then I throw it all up after to I can eat some more. It's crazy! And I never smoked before but since the first cigarette tasted so good and that nicotine buzz feels amazing, I just chain smoke now. I might even try some other drugs, I never knew they were so fun!
I think the surgery did something to my brain. All I want to do is have sex and eat junk food, my husband doesn't even know. He thinks I'm at work! And now I'm pregnant and he has a vasectomy so boy am I in trouble.
My favorite thing to do is lay in my hotel bed and dribble maple Syrup into my mouth and post on bariatric pal about my fiendish bad girl behavior.
Do you think the surgery changed my brain? Before this I was a straight laced schoolteacher with five kids and a pastors wife to boot!
.
Just kidding. Thought you all might need a laugh. I'm totally committed to my journey and all of us seem to be doing amazing, and I am very thankful tonight to have this great supportive board of people to talk to. Happy Thanksgiving.

lwyatt reacted to SMED0308 in JULY 2014 SLEEVERS GROUP
Hey folks. I was looking to set up a thread for July 2014 sleevers. I believe the other threads were originally back in 2013.
I just had my surgery on July 2. I'm SO glad I did this. My breaking point was being diagnosed with high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and a host of other problems. I put on another 30 pounds from October to February of this year. I was a good 185 and quit smoking. I ballooned up to 305. I'm self pay and I got to 278 during my pre-surgery.
Since the surgery, I don't think I've been hungry, but I'm still dealing with the healing process. My first postop is Thursday. My only complaint is the low energy level. I knew it was coming, but wow.
I'd like to hear from those who started their life change this month. I am also hoping this can be a thread we can keep tabs on each other, as well as provide motivation when we need it
