I had mini gastric bypass in august and I wish I could have done it 10 years ago . Best thing I have ever done

I can't even begin to imagine someone reversing from a mgb to a rny. I have only seen it done the other way around. Not sure where you live but Dr. Rutledge or Dr Peraglie will see you as a second opinion. I had a MGB 6 months ago and doing wonderful. The both of them have done thousands of mgb.

I had that annoying pain for almost 2 weeks. It does get better and u will be ok it's normal. I didn't poop for a whole week after and it looked and smelled wierd. Get some poopurie ! Everything gets better hang in there Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I struggled in the beginning. But now I love Syntrax nectar. They are a treat for me. No artificial taste at all. I do the chocolate truffle but they have many other fruity flavors. I found them at Vitamin Shoppe Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery on 8/25/16. SW was 286. Today I'm 238. I did not loose a lb for a whole month. I freaked out! My doc said it was normal that some people had a longer stall than others. The next week I lost 6 lbs in a week. But I have to say it didn't kick back in until I started exercising ! Some people never exercise and keep loosing. I'm not one of those people. I'm finding We have to make those changes for lifelong health. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow! 120 in 8 months ? That is awesome! You are definitely an inspiration. And you look amazing! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's only been 2 months . As the weight comes off your blood sugar will get better. It has already gotten much better I'm sure since you are off the insulin. It will get better. The more uncontrolled the blood sugar , the longer it takes . Everyone is different . Stay positive u will see the benefits Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That is correct not all BCBS are the same. I had BCBS and all was covered except my portion to the surgeon which was $400 I work for a hosp that covered the surgery and our plan is that if u have it done at our hospital u pay nothing out of pocket for the hospital bill. It is covered. They didn't even require 6 month diet and exercise journal for the approval. But like the other person said not all BCBC is the same. They vary by employer!

I had my bypass 8/25 and when I started solids it was painful too. But I have learned to eat slower and have figured out when to stop. It's a process but trust me that uncomfortable feeling will pass and don't think u made a mistake! Give it time! Hang in there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You look amazing!!! So happy for u Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had terrible pain on left side to the point that I had to be admitted for pain management. The pain was up in the left side stabbing pain. It got better after day 8 or so. I was told I might have had a hematoma or it could have just been muscular in nature . Toradol made a world of difference Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had a lot of pain post op but was under control when I left the hosp after just 1 day. After the 2nd day home, the pain under the left lap incision was unbearable. I didn't go home with pain meds. I had to be readmitted for pain control but it got way better after 1 day. It is thought that I may have developed a hematoma on the left . I was virtually pain free after day 8.
