Actually it's "holly's Band to gastric bypass journey". Search for that and you'll find me! Having surgery November 16th or the next Monday!!!

Sweet! Do you have a you tube? I do, mine is "holly's lap band to gastric bypass journey". Follow me! I'm making videos along the way

Medical staff I've talked to make it sound like the sleeve and bypass aren't very different from eachother. I do have to have it due to years and years of acid reflux and was told the sleeve would make it worse

Actually it's under "holly's lap band to gastric bypass journey"

Did you have the bypass or sleeve?

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?

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?

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?

How much have you lost?

Wow! Congratulations. That is amazing! You are inspiring.

I made a YouTube on my journey from lap band removal to sleeve ( upcoming). It's under "Holly Linnae"...

lap band removal and preparing for the sleeve!!

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!

No just waiting for the sleeve to be done. Had my band out august 21st and have to wait 3 months to get the sleeve. I'm sure I'm still gaining.

Wow!! Congratz. You look great! I will be having my sleeve done in a couple months. Just had my band out and trying not to gain too much weight but that's not working very well. Can't wait for my sleeve! ! You are very inspiring.

Wow! I hope I lose that much weight! ! Did you work out a lot during the process?

How long after surgery did you hit your goal weight? Did you work out lot? I hit my first goal around 10 months post op and then felt like I could keep going pretty easily, so I lost another 15 or so pounds after that. I started running around 4 months post op (wish I would have started sooner) and I continued to be an avid runner throughout the process. I am not much of an exerciser that's why I was asking. Maybe when I take off some weight I will actually want to. I had my lap band removed and will have the sleeve done in a couple months but I'm 300 as of now...
