Hi Ellie! I had my surgery on Monday. Stayed in the hospital until Wednesday. I can honestly say, that you can eat more with the bypass than the sleeve. When I had my sleeve, I could barely tolerate 2 ounces. Now I can do 4 oz of cream of chicken soup or an entire protein shake with no problems. The pain has been worse for me with the bypass, to the point if I am no better tomorrow, I am going to the ER.

August 6th is coming soon!!!!!

LoL I start e pre op diet tomorrow. By the next Monday, I will be so grumpy, they will want to knock me out first

I am an August 6th lady!!!!!! Sleeve to bypass revision!

Ok, so looks like I will go first lol August 6th is my date!!!! Congrats to y’all!

Call your doctor.

I am so happy for you!!!! Congrats!

Which surgery are you having rebchief?

I will be converting to bypass from sleeve 8/6 because of GERD. I had the sleeve 4/6/2015. I was extremely successful and then old habits crept back in and I had the vicious regain. My bravo testing was off the charts so my insurance will be paying for the surgery.

August 6th here!!!!!

I am converting to bypass from the sleeve! We have the same surgery date! I am in GA too!

Ladies ... there is a FB group for April sleevers.

Thanks for all of the support!!!!

I know I will be ok once I start the 2 week diet. But until then, I am battling being a pig. I am so excited for food NOT to control my life anymore!

I had to have 6 months of documented weight loss appointments with my pcp. I did that before I ever went to the surgeon. My surgeon requires a 2 week pre-op diet which I start 3-23. Luckily, both of my insurances will pay but I will still have some out of pocket expense.
