My bypass is scheduled for the 26th. [emoji4] It was interesting eating a Thanksgiving meal with abandon. That is the last time. I did enjoy it. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using BariatricPal mobile app

I am a good addict, too. I've already decided I will be staying in psych therapy for quite a while. I won't do this surgery without seeing a therapist weekly. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! 🙂

I'm feeling a little stupid here. I cannot, for the life of me, find where I can update my stats.....specifically my current weight. Thank you for help! 🙂

In google app store, just look for Baritastic. It'll come up.

Here is a link to my latest YouTube video explaining why I had to be changed from sleeve to bypass:

Thank you! Dah! I've looked everywhere but there!

Hi Pam, I'm having bypass on December 26. I'm 56 years old. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using BariatricPal mobile app

My sleeve surgery is cancelled, but I can have RNY. The RNY is the best route for a mid to large hiatal hernia. This is what I've learned: with a 4cm hernia, the typical repair that comes with a sleeve is often inadequate. Under the pressure of the sleeve, the hernia often returns and GERD is worse than ever and can be a life changer toward the negative. With a 4 cm hernia, a patient is better to go the RNY route for a host of very good reasons: the nature of the procedure itself pulls the stomach pouch down, thereby putting the esophagus and upper stomach back into proper position; the hernia opening is fixed; the pouch of RNY is not under pressure, a greater greater greater chance the hernia will never resurface and the GERD is cured. At my original post, I was upset because I did not know I still had options and I was uneducated on the physiology of the RNY, having focused Dooley on the sleeve. My surgery date of December 26th still stands, just a different procedure. I believe I'm in the best of health. [emoji4] Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using BariatricPal mobile app

Actually, my surgeon is continuing to hold the 26th of December for me. Apparently, there are no stampedes for that date! [emoji16] Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello, I'm wondering if any of you bypass patients have gone through what I've just gone through. I was working toward getting a sleeve, but was just notified today that a sleeve is out of the question due to a 4cm hiatus hernia found yesterday. My surgeon says no sleeve, it will have to be bypass. Has this happened to you? If so, please let me know I have company. I am a bit disoriented, now.

Ok, first, everyone, thank you for all of your encouraging responses. I've had a rough day of it because of this. However, my surgeon called and she talked about all of my options and the bypass seems to make the most sense. It's a bit tough, though, because we are self pay and now we've got to come up with $8,000 MORE! Maybe I should set up a Go Fund Me account!
