We gained it together now we are going to lose it together!

That is awesome! I became eligible for bariatric surgery based on BMI after 2 years of a happy relationship. So, now it is time to take off all this weight and become happy and healthy. Of course, my fiance has only gained about 15lbs and can probably take it off in 2 weeks.

They told us we can choose but we haven’t decided yet. They said we will follow pretty close either way basically once one goes in they will start getting the other ready. But that’s the idea we will go through it all 100% together

That is so awesome! Must feel amazing to have your other half go through it with you.

Im not nervous at all. I already had the sleeve and that was the easiest thing I ever did so im not nervous plus my surgeon is brilliant. I'm sort of looking forward to it lol

I have had 2 c-sections (last one 5 years ago). My worry is more for scar tissue and pain management afterward! Plus I am a nurse in the hospital where I am having the procedure so of course that gives me a little nerves. I am super excited for the journey though! I can't wait. You are having yours done in Mexico?

July 2nd for me for RNY. Super excited and nervous that it is just 3 weeks away!!

I'm having revision from Sleeve to MGB July 2 cannot wait

I am also on 7/2. Having the RNY! So nervous!

Hello!!!

I am set for 7/2 at730am. I will be having gastric bypass with cholecystectomy.

I would love to be your buddy Looking for one myself. My BMI is 41 currently, and I have no other issues. Basically healthy obese person, just can never lose all the weight I have needed to with diet and exercise!

I hope you can get an earlier date if you want one - if you're anything like me, you're rather eager to have this done and be moving on with life! 🙂

I am super in need of getting this done! I have to fly to AL in August for my doctorate program, and I just want to be fully recovered before... so I’m going for a little earlier. I am a nurse so I won’t be going back to work for 6 weeks.

I'm with you! I don't know if I'll ever hit a "normal" weight, but I know I should still lose at least about 100 lbs if I can swing it. I think the only thing that frustrated me was that originally my surgeon had said I could have either procedure, but then pushed extremely hard for the sleeve at both appointments about it. But I know she's just doing her job and making sure I understand the risks. I also tend to feel uncomfortable pushing back on medical advice of any kind, but... I really feel like the RNY is going to be the better long term tool for me.

I get it totally. Your surgery date is 6/11? Mine is tentatively 6/28 but may be sooner. Crossing my fingers for a little sooner!

Caltania, I totally get it... My provider gave me the option but was leaning more toward the bypass as he states it’s an 80% weight loss on average of excess weight whereas the sleeve is more like 65%. I need to lose about 110lbs so I decided I needed the extra tool as well.

Caltania, why was your provider suggesting the sleeve instead? My doctor is the opposite and feels that bypass is the better surgery...

Hello everyone! I could have sworn I wrote a post already in this forum but I can not find it anywhere!! I’m a June sibling as well and will be having the RNY!

I am 5’9 291lbs and a mother to 2. I am engaged to the love of my life, our wedding is in October!

I’ve had 2 csection... anyone heard how recovery is with RNY post cesarean ?

I need advise on preop diets, and how the heck to decide how to buy a dress!! 🤨

Can’t wait to get to know y’all!
