I had my Gastric Bypass surgery in August 2019, surgery was a breeze but have suffered with sickness and nausea for the last year but due to Covid haven’t been able to see my surgeon. Was prescribed Odensetron which helps somewhat. But regardless of the sickness and not being able to keep foods down I do not regret having it done at all. Have lost over 140lbs . Before and after pics attached

I had my surgery on the 8th August and I too lost weight pre surgery and since my surgery I lost 16lbs in the first 2 weeks but for the last 2 weeks I have lost nothing and it is so discouraging as I have stuck to the plan.
Also feeling very nauseous every day
Any suggestions for the sickness?

I also feel the same I’m worried about eating too much as I don’t want to stretch my stomach but I don’t get a full feeling, have never felt sick so am wondering if I’m not eating enough, my weight loss has stalled. I know I’m really early days but it becomes frustrating
Can anyone tell me if they feel really full and how much food would you eat to feel this way?

Hi all, I had my gastric bypass just over 3 weeks ago, I’m now on the mushy food stage. I don’t think that I’m overeating and have never pushed myself to a point where I feel sick but I’m really unsure of how much food I should be eating. I’m not overeating I know that but my weight has stalled and I’m wondering if I’m not eating enough. I have a bit of a challenge drinking my full quota but do force myself . I’m not hungry so also have to force myself to eat. Was just wondering as an example how many tablespoons of food should I be eating each meal time? And if anyone has any tips.
Any help would be appreciated

Yes mine did subside, it was excruciating pain and yes exactly the same I did t feel any pains in my stomach at that time. Apparently it comes from how you are pulled about during surgery. Don’t worry it will go, mine lasted about 3-4 days
hope you’re feeling better now

did you lose 116lbs after your surgery or was some of that pre op?

Hi
I’m on the last stage and just waiting for my surgery date, at my last visit with the consultant he asked me which surgery I was opting for
I was always opting for the sleeve and then decided on the bypass, can anyone tell me if they have had the same struggle with this decision and why you chose either the bypass or sleeve?
I’m so confused and can change my mind as late as going into the operating room so as much info from everyone will help me make that decision
Thank you

Yes that’s what I’m noticing
In the UK they have stopped doing the lap band and introduced a loop which is similar to the sleeve but I was always under the impression that the bypass was the most drastic out of all of them but I think they all carry their own risks
I have told my consultant that I’m going for the bypass anyway
Thanks for your input

Hair loss after ANY surgery is common and even more common when your surgery affects your nutrition.
I strongly encourage you to research tellogen effluvium. https://www.healthline.com/health/telogen-effluvium
It happens, but it's usually temporary.
