I have had this! Lap band to sleeve to Mini Bypass.

Whats with all the judgement? Life happens.

My Bariatric Surgery Book (written/given to me by my surgeon and nutritionist) says that I can eat that one week after my surgery. I had my VSG Surgery on 5/13/19 and have been been eating all of those veggies and fruits since 5/20/19. Everything has gone smoothly for me so far. 👍🏻

I'm 7 days post op & I just ate 2 oz of cottage cheese. *side eyes myself* Except it went down just fine & I'm going to punch myself in the face & throw up if I have to eat another sip of Soup. Am I the only one who's cheated post op & should I expect to die in an hour or two? (kidding) I'm not even craving bad things, I just cannot take soup or Protein Shakes. CANNOT.

Hi everyone, my surgery date is coming up May 2,2019!! I'm so excited to start losing weight and being more energetic!! I want to loose about 115 pounds!! Even though I want and need the Gastric sleeve surgery did anyone experience regrets or miss eating their favorite foods or drinking alcohol??
Thanks!!

Sorry to hear that you got negativity...
Congrats on your journey to get approved I know the struggle it took me 1 year exactly to get approved.. from initial consult to operation date

Hey it's worth a try, after all Nothing ventured- Nothing gained, that's people do say.

Yes, that sounds absolutely correct. You need a BMI of 40 or above OR a BMI of 35 with comorbidities of diabeties, sleep apnea, high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

WHOOHOO CONGRATULATIONS YOU GOT THIS CHEERS TO THE NEW LIFE !!

Thank you so much!! I’m nervous and excited!

Surgery in the morning at 7:30!!

I have been reading some of your other posts. It appears from what you have posted that even though you are from the UK you have not had your surgery there you have had it somewhere in Europe. Also from what you have posted it doesn't seem that you have had a consultation with a professional dietician, that in itself is a worry as is the fact that you don't seem to be having the Protein Shakes that most programs require.
How much preparation was there for you prior to the surgery? What consults did you have? It seems like there may have been steps missing and if so then I'm not surprised you are feeling the way you are atm.

Hi - I'm scheduled for May 14th. The heartburn has been the worst. Thank you for the ideas for a peppermint.

I have severe GERD. With my sleeve, lW 189 CW 218. I have an awkward sleeve. I just want to stop the burn and lose more weight. I worked out. The shape of my body changed but my weight didn't. I got depression. The scale started to go up again. The entire time, I was in pain. Additionally, there is a hernia. My date has changed to May 16, 2019. I am happy, afraid and a little confused. I really didn't know that something would help until recently. My sleeve was done 8/14.

I am scheduled for sleeve revision to bypass May 2nd. Who else is having surgery and would like to support each other?

Not sure if I should just give up on trying to date right now. I found myself confused to say...I'm not myself physically right now. And its frustrating because I haven't been heavy all my life so being turned down for what seems to be my weight is soo discouraging. I know they aren't worth my time however still upsetting.

Are you going through a Bariatric center in the U.S.? With a BMI of 67, you should most definitely do a liver shrinking diet before the surgery. You don't have a lot of time if your surgery is in 12 days. Be careful and make sure you have a bariatric team with lots of experience and knowledge. You should've been given all the tools you will need for both pre and post-op including a list of bariatric approved Vitamins and what can be consumed before and after surgery. Good luck and do as much research as you can in the short amount of time you have.

I started having coffe once a week during the first months postop. Now I’m back to drinking it daily. It’s a light roast though that I add caramel Protein Drink to as a Creamer.

Amazing! You are an inspiration.

Congratulations, keep up the hard work!

Hi All!
I have had my band for almost 12 years and I would like to get a revision surgery to get a mini gastric bypass but have my surgery in Mexico. Has anyone had a revision surgery from band to mini gastric bypass in Mexico? If so how was it and where did you go and do they keep in touch after you get home?

I drink 1 cup fairlife skim mixed with 1 cup fairlife chocolate every morning for breakfast during my commute to work. Have for about 6 months.

HOW LONG IT TOOK AND WHERE I STARTED-
I started in November 2017, my appointments went quickly. I was held back by not doing well enough in nutrition classes. My surgery is scheduled for July 25, 2018. That's 8 months of waiting.

Congrats! Please let us know how you enjoy the event!
Try not to get caught up in the excitement at the start and run at a faster pace than you've been training! My PR for 5k is still the first 5k of the Chicago marathon... burned through a ton of energy and had a great time with the crowd, but it made for a very long marathon lol.
