allies journey

I’m 9 months out and down 119lbs , I’d like to lose 25 more pounds

84lbs in not quite 6 months. Down a total of 140 or so pounds. Just got below 200 yesterday for the first time since I was around 13 years old or so. Best decision I’ve ever made for me and my family.

Can’t go by this everyone loses differently .Im over a Year out and 86 lbs lost

I wouldn’t go by this at all. I’ve lost WAYYY more than 25-35 in 3 months.

SW: 290
CW:192
GW:160

10 months in and nearly 100lbs down. I can’t believe I made it this far. So close to my goal weight. Never thought I’d see the 100’s.

Agreed. Some people can handle seeing the daily fluctuations and get on with their day, but for some others, that occasional 1/2 pound overnight gain causes anxiety and stress. Know what helps and what doesn't help you, and behave accordingly.
I weigh myself every morning at the same time, wearing nothing at all. lol. Works for me

Good luck with your surgery and your journey afterwards.

Holy shit. Looking Great. Congrats doll 

Omgoodness, what a difference! Congrats! Why aren't you smiling? I'd have a grin from ear to ear with those results!

I’ve seen the mixed opinions as well, and it honestly made me nervous, while waiting for my revision. I was revised VSG to RnY 6/4 and my one month was 29# including pre op diet, 15.2# since day of surgery. My VSG pre op and first month was 29.9# and I weighed 60+ lbs more with my VSG. I’m feeling good about it.

Yes, I went there for my sleeve and I got better care then i ever got here in America! my insurance doesn't cover bariatric surgery so I go to Dr Illan. he is a brilliant dr and the hospital is beautiful.

Im not nervous at all. I already had the sleeve and that was the easiest thing I ever did so im not nervous plus my surgeon is brilliant. I'm sort of looking forward to it lol

And it will be a joy not to reflux, not to have that discomfort or the hiatal pain. And I am praying 🙏for a very smooth healing and an enhanced future for YOU!

from what I've heard/read (from hanging out on various bariatric boards for the last five or so years), it does help most people. Not all - but most.

I sure hope it helps! Scheduled for July 17 and I'm praying for some relief!

I’m nearly 4 weeks out and it stopped my GERD.

I also have a hiatal hernia from the sleeve I'm waiting for my dr to get me approved so I'm just praying it's done soon the hernia is small but painful.

I think I have a vague understanding of why it works from how my doctor explained it to me. The part of the digestive system that creates the reflux is disconnected from the oesophagus and delivers the bile further down the system, meaning it can’t get back up and cause damage.
Please excuse the probably very bad explanation, but that was my (non-medical) understanding of it.
