I have aetna EPO. I wonder if I qualify for a revision. Do you have a diagnosis code.

Hello

I hope you are doing. Congratulations on the revision of the Gastric Bypass. If you would not mind sharing the name of the surgeon who conducted your revision in case I experience the same issue and may need to seek further medical support. Are you in NYC?

Misty

Do you dump? [emoji6]

Hi! I had a lapband to bypass revision yesterday and I am home today. I feel pretty good, but the pain when it hits is terrible. Can anyone tell me how long their post op pain lasted?

Hi delphina

I cannot believe that after going through a gastric bypass does that mean that I may have to go through a revision? It is sad that through all the challenges with our weight we still have to battle with weight gain. I too have beem gaining weight. I have done everything to monitor my food intake and still see the dial go up and up.

Missy

delphina can you share your surgeon if you are in nyc.

Thanks

I just had a revision to my RNY that I had done in 2003 where I started out at 325. Over the course of a year and a half, I lost 170 lb. Eventually I got down to around 140. 3 years ago I started gaining weight and I didn't know why; I ran from Dr to Dr and they all just kept telling me to go on a diet. Eventually found my way to the surgeon that I have now (my original surgeon has since retired). I went into surgery at 235 lbs. I had my surgery last Wednesday September 16th where he made my pouch 2/3 of its former size. Had my follow-up with him this morning 8 days post-op and I've lost 9 lb. I really really want to get back to my former weight. I'm hoping, I'm going to work hard at it so we'll see. Once I started gaining weight nothing, I did helped so praying this pouch reset will work.

I'm so tired of Protein Shakes and plain Water. What do you guys add to your Protein shakes and Water. For a change in flavor?

Hello

I try to drink my Protein Shakes straight but for the most part i put it in my coffee too.which prevents me to add coffee.

I had a gastric sleeve. Tomorrow will be one month. I was really excited about not being hungry but for 3 days I’ve noticed hunger so much more. But I had some Protein Bites for lunch and I’m having to tell myself that it’s enough because it’s too early to give in to eating more. I feel at days that hunger is a shameful sensation. I know it’s stupid but it’s just how I feel at times.

Hello

I know the feeling, at times my apetite is bigger than other days. I always try my best to remain mondful & positive. The only issue I have is that my stomach and brain does not communicate. I eat based on sight and time. So what I see I eat. I keep air popped popcorn in the house, fruits, and I meal prep. Alongside to my Protein Shakes

Always treat each day individually. If you fail one day, know your mistakes dust yourself off and do better the next day. Only you can deal with these challenges.

I am here for you.

Hi

If anyone has low calorie meal plan ideas to share do.

Hello, I’m looking for some encouraging words- I’m 4 weeks out from my gastric bypass. The two weeks prior to surgery I lost 20lbs, the week after surgery I lost another ten. But I’ve not lost any weight in 3 weeks. This experience has been really challenging as I had very bad reactions to the pain medication that put me back in the hospital. Then just recovery, it’s been rough. It’s a mind f@@@ when I’m not even loosing weight. I’m doing what’s been told to me to do and yet nothing. It feels like it was all for nothing.

I have been 4 years post op with my gastric bypass underwent in 2016. Since this global pandemic I have gained weight due to the ability of working from home, stress, fear and the lack of exercise. I am slowly trying to fight against the challenges now the past 2 weeks such as discipline myself again to healthy eating, Protein Shakes, Water intake and going to the gym 3 x a week. What exercise recommendations can you shed on me which will allow me to burn fat most, lose weight and allow me to meet my goal. I am so close I can taste it.

Best missy

Hi: Had Sleeve done in Jan 2020 and I lost about 45 lbs. Now I am stuck. I seem to have run out of motivation and wonder why I had this surgery. I don't know how to get back on track. Any suggestions? Marcie

Hi Marcie

First we have to get to the bottom of why you feel it was a waste of time? What is causing you to remain focused on your health and avoid the backslide.

I was self-pay so I'm not sure about the insurance process. Mine has a no WLS clause

Rachel

You will eventually receive a call within 2 to 3 weeks. God willing you will be going for surgery towards the end of October unless if your insurance company requires other guidances in effort to rule out that the surgery is medically necessary.

What insurance do you have? What state?

Hello

Hope all is well.

What type of surgery did you get? How many months post op are you?

Hello all, I am due for surgery in October but I finally finished out the program to be able to submit my paperwork to my insurance as of Thursday 9/17/20 now I'm just waiting on a call from my baratric team to choose what day in October. My program was technically supposed to end October 1st but I got done a little sooner 😅✨ I'm in need of support other than my boyfriend and his family. I'm so scared. but sorta excited. I deal with anxiety and depression so it can be a bit of a struggle some days I think I got the whole WLS thing down and other days I'm just way too overwhelmed by it all! Encouraging words accepted* I'm in need of them.

Much love ~ Rachael

Hi Rachel

I can relate with anxiety and depresiion as a Functional individual. One thing that I can exprezs which i always remind myself each and everyday is that no matter what you do, what you say never have regrets. For the most time through the WLS journey i never regretted anything despite of any challenges.

Thank you! I’m 1 month out and feeling great. I did have a question. Wow 2016 that’s amazing! How do you feel? Any regrets? How do you know if your eating too much? I’m averaging about 700-1000 cals per day and although my weight loss is good I just don’t want to ruin what I worked to get. Any help would be great.

I feel great though i have not met my goal which was primarily my fault. I stalled by eating incorrectly snacking, not drinking Protein. But I have been disxoplined now. Im going to the gym, taking my Vitamins, drinking my Water, doing my shakes. I have no regrets at all. I underwent the first WLS in 2009 and it was the lapband. I loss the largest bulk of my weight from 2009 through 2015. Though i faced a plateau for one year due to an erosion of my stomach i gained some weight back but i still had no regrets. If i ever need to reconsider i would do it again

But this time around I realized that i need discipline so i put myselt on Intermittent fasting.

Hey everyone I made it home today. I’m in a lot of pain but just tying to not think about it. Hopefully I will start feeling better in a few days. I’ll keep posting my updates as the come.

Hey guys,

I’m fortunate enough to have my Mom stay with me to help me after surgery. But my question is, I have a 4 & 2 year old and I’m wondering how long I should ask her to stay? Appreciate the advice!

Hello,

I have been drinking Protein Shakes as a meal supplement and I am having a hard time moving my bowels. What laxative will help me with flow in my bowel movement.

Currently I weigh 390lb or 177kg....am I too large for this surgery ?

Thanks

Hello

I just finished my required 6 months of meeting with a nutritionist. During the 6 months I lost about 5 pounds. She just mentioned that I was expected to lose more, about 10-15 and that the doc would NOT clear me for surgery without losing 10-15 pounds. Now I am 10 days out from meeting the surgeon for my final appointment and to get approval. I need to lose 5+ pounds in the next 10 days and I am feeling overwhelmed. Any tips?

Current stat
5’3 and 245lbs

My RNY was 8/31/20. My starting weight before the 2 week preop liquid diet was 220lbs. My weight day of surgery was 211. Was in the hospital for 2 days. CW is 189. I have lost a total of 31lbs. I am 3 weeks postop. No nausea, just a bit of discomfort when I drink Water. Still on stage 2 liquid diet until 9/22. Starting my walking plan today. My goal weight is 125lbs. Im super excited!!!
