What surgery did you have?What complications, may I ask? P.S. your arms are Amazing! Thanks for the compliment on my arms...it's funny though, I think that's my worst feature, lots of excess skin...I think that might have just been great photography! Lol! Anyways my complications are almost too many to list: large hematoma with drain tube one week after sleeve surgery, severe reflux and GERD, 3 strictures with dilations, 2 hiatal hernias needing surgery, a myelotomy surgery, revision to bypass surgery, central line put in for TPN, then finally 2 weeks ago a jejunostomy feeding tube put in for nutrition. Whew!So you had complications with both the bypass and sleeve...

What surgery did you have?

Wow! You look great!

Wow that's awesome! Congratz

Wow nice! !

Wow how much have you lost?

Thanks!

this is the best chili :-)Great.Can you share the recipe?

I'm having the bypass. Also worried I'll be hungry since they don't remove that hunger hormone with the bypass that they remove with the sleeve. My acid reflux is too bad to have the sleeve.

Wow. I guess I'm worried mainly about gaining later down the road (years). I wonder if you can have too much protein? What surgery did you have?

How the heck did you lose 110 in 4 months? ???

I want my husband to do it with me but he doesn't want to give up beer and food.... which you have to sever your relationship with food. Do you guys have a YouTube???My wife was determined to get the surgery but i wasnt on board for me until my back went out again and went to back surgeon who said if i didnt get weight off surgery would be pointless on my back as would happen again. So that made up my mind. My wife chose gastric bypass, i went with gastric sleeve so if i wanted in moderation to have a beer or some fries etc i could and not get dumping syndrome.. So your husband "could" in theory enjoy some of his favorite items down the road as treats in moderation, but my relationship with food has changed for sure. I eat much healthier choices now, but also not afraid to have some treats. Like every diet in the world, its all about calorie intake and how much you burn. So if i have a treat or drink, i still try and stay under my daily calorie total. Even if you read my horror story and what i went thru post op, im an advocate to others to get the wls surgery and improve their health. Was still worth it for me. Good luckWhere do I read your story?Not sure how to paste it but you can search by posts made by me.. Will be one with over a 100 comments. I think titled prayers needed or something started late last yearI tried to find it but couldn't. Oh well. Did you have bypass?

Did you have the bypass or sleeve?

Cool. Just found out I'm having the bypass instead of the sleeve and wanted to know feedback from people. Is it that much more risky than the sleeve? Anyone have had band to bypass and want to share?

Wow truly inspirational!!

Wow! You look amazing! !

I made a YouTube on my journey now and up coming off you guys would like to check it out. It's under "Holly Linnae".

You look great! What's your YouTube under?

Awesome! ! Can't wait to have mine done. It's crazy the weight people are dropping versus the lap band and keeping it off.

Wow! What was your starting weight and now? When did you have surgery?

Wow!
