The hard part? Being in my hospital bed and listening to the doctors talk about my anatomy. I don't have a gallbladder, uterus and missing 80% of my stomach. They really had no clue. I am just afraid to alter myself anymore. I did this to live and not to become a science experiment!

Well, just seeing this on here? You sound miserable! However, if he will not change? Then you have to! Life is to short. You are both examples to your children. Is this how you want them to live?

My sleeve was done 8/1/14. I had my hernia and esophagus repaired 12/2019. Bypass was the best option. However, not covered by my insurance. I knew this after months of appeals. Now, my surgeons and other doctors would like me have bypass. However, at this point I am not sure that is my best option. My sleeve is "perfect." I just don't want to have more complications. I just want to get healthier and lose more weight. That is happening because I can again barely eat. So, I am going to wait.

I am lossing weight after surgery (hernia and esophagus) repair. I had my sleeve done over 5 years ago. GERD was not really a planned issue. However, it's a big issue for me. I think that revsion is good option for many. However, I am scared. I don't want other complications. I spent 5 days in the hospital due to complications with these surgeries. Every doctor was amazed at the great condition of my sleeve. I still have GERD. I still spent a month in pain. I still need to lose weight. Help!

You are still moving forward. This is a process. Get your life ready for this big change. You are a champion.

Hi just checking and congrats. What made it "rough?"

Great job [emoji41]

I have been through heck. I just go back out the hospital yesterday. I had so much pain in my adornment. I have lost weight. Need to lose more. I am just not sure how to balance it all. "Extremely GERD." I have pills that help me hold food down. However, by not eating I am lossing weight. I have to eat to live! I just wanted to lose weight and be healthy. My head is all over the place.

Change doctors. I have GERD. I just took that nasty milkshake test. I threw it up all over the tech and machine. My sleeve was done 5 years ago. The docs love it. I still need to lose weight. Down still from highest weight by 60 pounds. I had surgery in Dec to help with the reflux and repair a hernia. I guess it did work. Because, I have been in the hospital since last Friday. The only thing I can hold down is one taco and something liquid. I am in sever pain when off meds. I don't regret my sleeve.

Well, I got approved then the denial came at the final stage. Anyway, have you doctor request a peer to peer review with your insurance. I got the hernia and esophagus repaired which so far has helped tremendously. I can't eat a lot. The pain sucks. I working hard to get back on this weight loss journey.

Find another doctor. Be prepared to fight. This is your body!

I am back to weighing one time per week. This will be every Wednesday.

Mind of matter. I am on a full liquid diet as of the 16th. Yesterday was the first day I real wanted real food. However, I am pushing forward by blending foods like "chinese chicken vegetable soup." Also "egg drop soup and wonton soup." What is also helping keeping a journal and walking my puppy. This is my second chance. I refuse to give up on my health.

I on full liquid diet until the 30th. I am lossing weight. I am afraid it's only temporary. I might just keep it this way for 6 months. Then, I should be fine with protien shakes and I low cal meal for lunch.

Do you track your food? I am just trying to problem solve. How many calories are you eating daily? What is was your staring weight, current weight, goal weight and BMI? What have you changed since surgery?

Do you have any medical issues that are related to weight loss? What are you eating? Do you walk for exercise?

To have a lifetime of success? Maybe, stop thinking about this as a diet. It is a lifestyle. Your life style. The way you see food has has to move towards health living. For me it helps. It also has taken 5 plus years for me to get it. That doesn't have to be your story.

I am not take anything for granted this time. I am moving forward one day and one pound at a time. Working out when cleared. My doc told me to slow down and he believes in me. Now, I am learning to believe in myself.

I had to start with a fix to my esophagus and repair a hernia. Now it's my turn to make this work. Before, the foods I was supposed to eat created acid. So I ate the food that didn't create pain. I gain 40 pounds. Now, moving forward with my new revised tool. Highest weight presleeve: 281 by the time I had courage to get on the scale. recorded weight before sleeve: 281 Weight before this procedure: 231 Goal weight: 159 to 161 New year and new plan. Goals set and this time I have help.

Round 1000. Wow, the last few months have been we you know. I will have hernia surgery and sleeve repair on 12/16.

No problem. The sleeve was great for me five years ago. However, at this point it more what I am working with verses what I want. We will see how this goes. I have one of the greatest surgeons in the country. I got scared then felt a little relief.

I hope everything went well today! Don't forget to checkin! Best of care!

I have the sleeve.
