After your revision how much extra weight did you loose after? Did it come off slower than the first surgery?

I’m starting the revision process because of gerd. Can anyone tell me if the pain from the sleeve surgery is comparable to the full bypass??

I’m almost 8 months post op. I’ve lost 120 pounds so far. Since December, ive started to slow down drastically. I’m currently at a stall & I’m SO incredibly frustrated. I’m working out, I get my Protein, I track my foods, I get my Water in. What did you do? How did you break your stall?

One week to go!! Let’s talk pain. How was it? I’ve had two kids naturally, is it comparable? Tell me your experience! ☺️

I go in tomorrow for my surgery. Nervous, Nervous, Nervous and trying to pass the time and keep my mind busy, because it's nothing but fluids today. My husband will be about to enter with me and meet me at recovery, but not allowed once I get a room. This replies are helping me out, like you can't believe.

Yes, me too!!! I'm scheduled for 7/23.... one minute, I am so excited and the next minute, I'm thinking "what the hell am I doing!"

I am 9 days away from surgery. Did anyone feel panicky? I’ve been pretty calm about the procedure up until now. Did this happen to everyone? Was anyone second guessing themselves? Help me 😩

I am 19 days away from surgery!! I have my endoscopy on Thursday. I’m so afraid of pain. What was your pain level? Were you in much pain? This will be my first surgery & my first time under anesthesia.

My doctors office called & I officially have a new surgery date!! July 16th ❤️

I’ve officially been canceled until further notice. While I totally understand, I’m still bummed. I hope everyone is staying safe & healthy! 💕

Yes! I just had an ultrasound last week and the doctor said i had a liver lesion. I’m scheduled for an MRI this Saturday. I hope everything is fine because I’m scheduled for vsg surgery on April 1st.

Define lesion. I have incidentalomas all over me: liver, adrenals, lungs, etc. But they just watch them and they are nothing. The one on my liver is a cyst about the size of a large grape. They called it a lesion on an U/S.

I had my ultrasound of my gallbladder today, while doing it, they found a lesion on liver. Has this happened to anyone else?

What did you guys pack or take with you? Anything you wish you would have?!

Congratulations on your date! Honestly, there was more discomfort than pain. The most pain I had was stomach cramping from gas, but the easiest way to get rid of that is to WALK WALK WALK. You will be uncomfortable, but you gotta. I didn't end up taking any pain meds at all besides what they gave me during surgery, but everyone is different.

As for veggies, I wasn't either, but your taste buds DO change a little. Things you loved before you won't be able to stand, and you'll start craving more healthy foods. I'm eating more veggies now than I ever did before, and I actually enjoy the tastes of them now.

However, you're gonna focus on Protein for a while. My surgeon and dietitian has me on a 2:1 ratio. Twice the Protein to the veggies, and I have to eat the protein first and then finish filling up on veggies.

❤️ Good luck with your surgery! ❤️

I have a surgery date for the beginning of April! I’m so excited and completely overwhelmed. I’m expecting some pain or discomfort? Did it hurt? What was your pain level? I’m not a huge veggie person, so I’m nervous about that too. Anything to help ease my mind would be wonderful!

I do! 04/07!!
