Actually, the only difference is there's one anastomosis instead of two. The weightloss, Vitamin deficiency etc are the same as RNY. However, the surgery time is reduced and they are less complications, again because of the one join instead of two. Pre-surgury. HW: 126.3 kg (278 lbs) / CW: 123.8 kg (272 lbs)

Hi All, Trevor here from Australia
I had Lapland surgery in early 2010, I had good success with weight loss, but had lots of band complications, so I had a mini gastric bypass one week ago yesterday, currently I am not too heavy, I am weighing in at 112kgs (247lbs) just before the surgery last week, I had been down to 92 kgs (203lbs), I was at 104 kgs (224lbs) before the band was removed 3 months ago
I am looking forward to continuing the journey but with a different route

Hi Everyone,



How did all the Biactric beauties go in their first week post op?



I got home yesterday and was happy to be home



Please tell of your stories so i can see if we experienced something similar. I went in for the RnY but i came out with the Omega loop bypass.



At first i freeked out bc after researching in my hospital bed it was commonly called the mini bypass and i thought instantly oh no less weight loss!!!



My doctor assured me that the weight loss for both RnY and Omega are essentially the same and that he can not ell weather a patient has had one or the other until he checks their files so im ok with this.



He has also said there is less chance of bowl obstruction or twists but a slightly higher chance of reflux but worse case scenario he can do a very minor surgery to correct this. Also dumping is less apparent with the Omega loop im glad about that and i did not need a band to support my pouch and my pouch is a bit longer and has enough resistance alone without the band. All in all im ok with it.



Coming out of surgery in recovery was very bumpy for me and i wanted pain killers STAT. After that was sorted my pain leveled out quite quickly and althought they were giving me that oral morphine pill i felt that Panadol or Tylenol was enough as the hillbilly heroin was making me feel very sick and head floaty (im not sure how ppl become addicted to these pills they make me feel yuck).



So im on day 4 evening now and im basically pain free but feeling nauseous wen i eat and i am very very tired often. I think im doing ok but i am very aware of every feeling that happens to me.



I am getting over a liter of fluids in per day and seem to be reaching my 60g of Protein ok with the powder supplements and the Optifastshakes.



Im very interested to hear how everyone else went

Congratulations on your surgery. It will take a while for everything to return to something approaching normalcy. I think I was at the 6 month post-op mark when I reached my happy state and most of the problems were resolved.

I went from 330 down to 200.
I had heaps of loose skin, But have been very overweight for a long time and my skin tone was poor. Everyone is different, don't let the fear of Loose skin worry you. The benefits far out way it.

Hi
Not from Sydney but 4 hours south in Regional NSW. I have been banded for 9 years and has lost 60 kg, keeping majority off. Having a few issues lately and have gained 14 kg back.
My surgeon suggested changing over to a sleeve. So here my journey starts again. I am to have my band removed on 15th August and then I will be Sleeved on 5th December. I'm feeling extremely nervous about removing my band, but understand for my own safety it's needed.
