I understand. I would swear they didn’t do the surgery if it weren’t for amount I can eat . I don’t notice any of the rearranging wtc HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

A few days with bypass.... a few weeks for it to be completely notmal HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

... and about a week to recover to get eating down HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

My bypass wasn’t invasive at all- 5 small incisions in a circle around belly (about half inch size incisions) Bypass surgery eliminates reflux and maximizes weight loss. I would also check out Home many people end up having additional surgeries from sleeve to bypass - not sure why but it seems like a lot? Good luck with whichever you choose!

Don’t feel by different- just can’t eat or drink much. Otherwise I’d swear they didn’t do surgery hahha HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

You’ll do great! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Congrats!! Amazing! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

How are the Massachusetts folks? HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Take some deep breaths and try to take your mind off. You’ll go to sleep and wake up a new person (ok after a few hours of gas pain) Keep us update! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Surgery was great for me- just some really bad gas pains for about 2 hours after surgery. The rest of the time has been sore but nothing that would ever make me rethink. Best decision ever HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

I tried barre for the first time last night! I liked it and stomach and butt are a bit sore today HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Hi My whole process took 6 months. It only took insurance a few days to process but it was about 1 1/2 months before surgery HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

You will be so excited that you did it. Relax- it is worth it! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Thanks! I did a happy dance at onerderland HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Great to hear all! I think I hit a stall or something—- or def possible that I’m overreacting . I haven’t moved the scale since Friday. I started more exercise yesterday and upped the protein/ calories to 700 so hopefully that helps?? First stall for me. @Lilly... not sure other than only eating protein even though cleared for all foods. I heard advice to stay at this stage for as long as possible bc you can’t go back once you start with carbs and sugars etc?? Don’t know- making it up as I go along . Haha HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Hi I had bypass and was super easy with 5 very small incisions (about 1/2 inch). Bypass eliminates heartburn and maximizes weight loss which is why I chose it. Recovery super easy - gas pain was a bit much for a day or two but then was just learning how to eat slow and in small amounts, liquids etc. If you have specific questions, happy to answer! Good luck with your decision HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Almost same stats here too- didn’t think that’d be possible so excited to read that too! following you ladies HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

I had bypass and didn’t have one. It may be individually based.... ask your surgeon HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

How is everyone doing? HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Astrocat- Best decision I ever made- and was much easier than I anticipated. Go for it, you won’t regret it! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Relle2190... if you follow what we are supposed to or doesn’t happen . Don’t let that stop making this decision— it’s amazingly life changing HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

I’m using Mederma- and the little ones have faded but the main one is still purple too. Figure that’ll just take longer HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Hot / warm water is MUCH easier for me. A bottle of cold water takes me forever but tea is a breeze HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

Ha- sorry. I thought it was weird that you have to. Good luck! HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 196 GW#1- 199 GW#2- 175 5’6”

For me it only lasts as long as it takes to spit it up. I went back to work after 10 days but could have after maybe 5. Was grateful to have a few more days just to get the eating Rhythm down HW 242 SW 236- December 20, 2017 CW 197 GW 160
