I had double hernia repair in 2014 and my surgeon is still proceeding with the RNY June 10th. It might just be the surgeon's discretion on what he wants to do but its doable to have both. I've also had my gallbladder removed and have had ulcers.

I started out with similar issues. I had excellent success by eating smaller portions. I used a very small bowl that fit about a cup of food and ate that over 20mins. I told myself I could go back for seconds if I felt hungry. I was never starving after my small bowl and that was all I ate at that meal. Also, I took that bowl with me everywhere!
Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi All-
For the last few months my doctor and I have been operating under the assumption I'd be having the gastric sleeve surgery next week (June 9th). I've done lots of research and feel very prepared to be successful after surgery. However, in my pre-op meeting today we went over my Endoscopy and medical history results and he now thinks it would be better for me to go with the Gastric Bypass surgery because he doesn't want my reflux to get worse.
I fully trust him and his judgement, it was just a bit of a shock for me, especially since it's only one week away!
To be honest I think I'm just overwhelmed that it's all finally happening. Regardless of which organs they stitch together, I just want to make a decision to live a healthier, happier lifestyle.
Any anecdotes or words of wisdom?
Thanks!
Brittany
