  1. I am going in for sleeve to bypass revision in 10 days.. I am wondering how everyone's weight loss has been after a revision... Please share.. Thanks!
  2. Anyone have a revision from sleeve to bypass? If so how much more weight did you lose? I have lost another 30 pounds to date and my surgeon told me I should only lose about 10.... Worried I might keep losing and get myself in trouble.

    If this wasn't so pathetic it would be hilarious

    I met my husband on yahoo personals 12 years ago. We met and married the same year. We emailed for a whiled then talked on the phone several times a day then he drove up and met me. We have been inseparable since. It does happen. You just have to be patient. Good luck!

    Don't get it

    I just don't get it. I can't figure out my new stomach at all. Most days I throw up what very little I eat.. It doesn't matter what it is. We haven't been able to figure out the triggers.. But today.. It's like I couldn't get enough food.. I ate the most food I have eaten since my conversion surgery today. 1 entire protein bar.. Salad with chicken.. Another antipasto salad.. 3 bites of pizza... And a ton of water! Granted I didn't eat an entire salad but I didn't puke either... Anyone else have these days????

    Don't get it

    I was a sleeve to bypass conversion in August. I do stick to my meal plan and the pizza I should have mentioned was a home made cauliflower crust pizza the size of my palm. Not a traditional pizza. I stick to my meal plan and my volume is non existent most days due to the amount of liquid I have to consume. In my post it was literally 2 cubes of grilled chicken and 4-5 forks of lettuce that was cut at each meal and the pizza was the size of my palm and I only got in a few bites. I am happy I was able to keep that down. Most days I can't keep anything solid down. There is nothing wrong with my pouch, had testing.

    Dizziness one year out

    Have you had your blood pressure checked. That happens to me when my Bp is low. Now that I lost the weight my Bp runs 90/60 as opposed to the 140/80 I was running and I get dizzy when it falls below that but keeping my water up and making sure I am not skipping meals helps.

    Stomach Sleepers

    I will also mention that at 3 weeks out I was completely on my stomach. It was sore but I had too! Revision was 8/31/15

    Stomach Sleepers

    I slept semi stomach at a week. Propped up pillows around me and took pain meds before bed. I wasn't completely on my tummy but it felt great to be in my bed and not a recliner lol

    Gastric bypass and acid reflux

    I never had reflux until I had the sleeve. I had such severe reflux after that and was on 5 medications several times a day that this year I couldn't take it and revised on 8/31/15 to gastric bypass. Honestly if you already have reflux I would opt for the bypass. I have no reflux and my surgeon said its near impossible for me to ever have it again. I am off all medication and love it!
  11. I don't know what kind of exercise your doing but when I felt like I stopped losing I started crossfit workouts. They seriously change your body! Try that and going back to basics. Protein protein protein. Get your water in! Hope it helps. Don't give up!

    You should definitely add dresses to your wardrobe. I love wearing dresses now! I can't wait to rock a sweater dress and tall boots this season!!!!
  16. I just had revision surgery. Sleeve to RNY. I didn't hide it. I was miserable with GERD prior to the revision. A friend of mine had the nerve to say... "Oh man... Gastric bypass people look like bobble heads.. Your going to have a bobble head" Um really? My husband said the look on my face was priceless. Like a cross between did that just come out of your mouth and are you really that effing stupid? My face let's me hide nothing about what I am thinking! Lol

    Before and After Pics

    This was my sleeve. Before 242. A few months ago before revision 182 I have since had sleeve to RNY revision on 8/31/15 and lost another 16 pounds so far. I don't have much to lose and revision was due to scar tissue in sleeve causing severe gerd
  22. I was revised from sleeve to bypass 3 weeks ago and I have had 3 episodes of severe heartburn. Is anyone else still getting heart burn after bypass?

    Going back to work?

    I took 2 weeks. I am exhausted but most of my work I can do from my desk. You will be tired. If you move A lot at your job I would definitely take 4 weeks. My surgeon would have liked for me to take at least 3 but I had compromise with 2 and light duty for an extra 3.
