Remember this is about HEALTH. If you had to have surgery for cancer would they be against it. My brother died a year ago. he weighed over 400 lbs. refused to go to the Drs. I was having breathing issues and had many times I thought I would die in my sleep. I was band failure and had revision to bypass. I'm not sorry. 7 weeks out 35lbs down.

I would do low carb high fat diet. I'm scheduled for lapband to bypass the 16th. If there is too much scar tissue they may not beable to do bypass then so I will have to stick to that. If it's not on the list to eat in not eating it. Just go to support groups and your Drs office. I failed my band and then couldn't get back on track. 10 Years of it and it needs to go

Mine was Tuesday and it was not that bad. The nurse messed with my IF and that hurt worse
Occasionally I do get a pain in my left side. I had more pain when I had the band 11 years ago.

I added caffeinated coffee back in about week 4 post op I believe. Been at it since, just be sure to drinks lots of Water in the early stages and do drink the Decaf very early in the beginning; it won’t be forever. Just a temporary set back. 😊

I'm 3 days away from a gastric bypass surgery. Needless to say I'm very excited, not feeling nervous at all yet...im sure that will be on Monday morning. It's reassuring reading everyone's posts. I'll keep you all updated on my progress and good luck to all of you!!

Hi! I’m having surgery January 16th too. I am on liquids, Protein Shakes and specific veggies only. Anyone else? I am so glad this was required. I also have been off of all alcohol and on a restricted diet for the last 2 months. Here we go gang! I’m excited!

I have my surgery date and I am so excited!!! Anyone else having surgery around the same time? I need a WLS buddy!!

Is there anyone else with the same date?

I haven't had mine yet. Band to Bypass on 1/16. I am scared. I may have to have open instead of laparoscopic. That's what scares me. I remember being scared before lapband..easy peasy, but now I'm 58 and weigh more. Had a very difficult time losing weight.

I chose bypass for my GERD and also a hernia repair which was part of the problem my GERD made me cough all day long. I am now symptom free. It’s great! I highly recommend the bypass.

I had GERD pre-surgery and none post Bypass. My surgeon suggested bypass over sleeve if you have GERD because the sleeve usually makes it worse if you have it already. Imm5 months out and very happy with my Bypass.

I was advised to get the bypass instead of sleeve because of my GERD. My date isn't till December 5th. Hopefully it'll cured it and give me finally relief. It's actually the only reason I'm going with the bypass.

I had gerd prior to bypass and took Omeprazol every day. My surgeon told me to take Omeprazol for 2 months after surgery and then I can stop it. I haven't experienced any issues and looking forward to stopping the Omeprazol on November 7th. That is the last of my pre surgery meds that I am taking. My by pass has cured my diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and has really helped my ED (the ED issue is getting better all the time).
