Hi All!! I was a revision from Lapband to sleeve to Rny for severe GERD and I knew going in I would lose slower since I was a third timer. I’m satisfied with my loss. Started at 251 at pre-op and now am 208. My way of losing is so odd. I drop to an all new low and then within 1-2 days I’m up 4-5 lbs and then jump up and down in those 4-5 lbs and then stall and then after another time drop to a new low. Anyone go through this as well? Diet stays same, I think it must be hormones...?

3/18 VSG to rny for GERD, pre-op diet starting weight 251 and today I am 216.6. Loss has slowed down and stalled but I’ll take any loss. Good luck to all!

That is awesome news!!! So happy for you and the relief from reflux! Monday is my day and I can’t wait for this to be over. Good luck!!

Had my surgery 3/18. VSG to rny and hiatal hernia repair. Doc initially said up to 6 hours bc of scar tissue. Went in earlier than expected bc the first person canceled. He completed everything in 3.5 hours. He left a drain in me in case of leaks. I went home on Wednesday. Immediately gas was an issue. Felt like someone was hammering my shoulders from the inside. That first day I got up and sat and went the the bathroom. I was able to sip a lot of Water with no issue. Also no GERD at all!!! Miracle!! Following day I was still in a lot of pain but walked more and drank more sips. Same with Wednesday. I’m still in a ton of pain at home but I am drinking well getting in about 50-60 oz of water and yesterday did 40grams of Protein, today I did 50 grams. I’m on a clear liquid (broth & premier allowed) until next Friday; if I’m doing well they will advance my diet and take out my drain. The incision pain is terrible it feels like someone is throwing hot oil on my skin on one that is at my waist and the one where the drain is feels like a cramp. But I was sent home with tramadol and oxycodone and Tylenol and they help tremendously. I can’t bend at the waist and am super duper slow but I’m voiding well, and my drainage is less and less everyday. I gained 13lbs in water weight and am down 9lbs so far. Started at 241 day of surgery, when I came home I was 254, today I am 245. My protein is coming from collagen peptides dissolved in tea or Vitamin water zero, Lono Bone Broth packet and Premier. I haven’t had an bm’s yet, drank some Smooth Move tea today but nothing yet and am also taking a stool softener. I have no appetite, no desire to eat, actually kind of grossed out watching my husband eat. Hopefully I can use that to my advantage. Hope all the other 3/18ers did well!!!

Aww thank you!!! Check in time is 9am, surgery is suppose to start at 11. Just praying the good Lord guides my surgeon’s hands.

Best of luck to everyone else who’s scheduled for today!!

While mine was technically medically necessary, my doctor wanted me to go through their bariatric program so I can learn what life and eating like with RNY. The program was accelerated because my GERD is severe. I began middle of November and was approved 2/1. Surgery is on 3/18. It was worth the wait and I appreciate that they wanted me to be as knowledgeable as possible.

Having this done 3/18!

Hi Everyone,
feeling a little down today. Had surgery on Friday, 3/8, was in the ER Monday 3/11 and diagnosed with a kidney stone. Since then, the pain has been terrible, I’m nauseous all the time, i have no desire to drink anything and when I do, it makes me want to throw up. I know I’m probably dehydrated. I called my surgeon this morning before they opened and left a message w the service. At 5:30 pm they hadn’t called me back, so I called again and got the service. This time a dr called me right back but couldn’t really help and said I can wait to get an appt at their office or go to the ER. so I now have an appt at the ER at 8:00.

🙁

I had it on March 1st. Full bypass. I lost 60+ lbs before and have lost another 15 since.

Pills and fluids have been a problem but hard-boiled eggs have been great.

My date is March 19th and I am excited and nervous.

I had gastric sleeve in 2016 and it didn't work well for me. I gained weight back now I'm having RNY Bypass on March 19, 2019. Getting nervous and trying to get all the Vitamin I need figured out. Frustrating to say the least. Good luck to everyone!
