Hi All, I am new to this thread and was glad to read everyone’s stories and victories. Congrats All. As for me, I got my bypass done on 12/23/20. It was a revision from sleeve which was done in 2017. Had to get bypass surgery for gerd as well as weight loss. In past 8 weeks now, my gerd is improved, but I have lost only 14lbs of weight. I wanted to ask if this is normal. Is there anything that I should be doing to increase my weight loss. Please advice. I am really disheartened at this stage.

It’s been 8weeks for my RNY surgery now and I am only 14 lb down. I am really disheartened now. Have done liquid diet for 2 days now to reset my pouch per my dietician’s advice. Still haven’t lost any weight. I think my decision to get the surgery done was wrong.😔😔

@Castrad01, glad to hear about your journey. It is heartening to see everyone loosing weight. Guess I am an anomaly. Still haven’t lost any weight further. How do you deal with stalls. Any ideas.

Hi, I have hypothyroid too. I got gastric bypass done in 23 rd Dec 2020 and in 6 weeks have lost only 13lbs. Is there anyone else who has lost such less amount of weight. It’s really bugging me.

Hi, I am on the same road. Gerd with Barrett’s Esopighus condition. Belching and acid reflux are common. I also have Hypothyroid. Got my Gastric Sleeve done in 2017 along with fixing of Hiatal Hernia. I was well for a year and half and then everything returned. I gained all my weight back, belching and gastric attacks became an everyday occurance. Went in for 2nd Hernia repair in 2019. My surgeon said he stitched my Esophegus to small size as it had grown too big/wide. That did not help at all. Early this year I had COVID and the side effect is getting out of breath too soon. Shortness of breath along with a gastric/belching attack, this was making my life hell and my insurance suggested that I go for Gastric Bypass. After weighing the pro/cons and consulting 3 surgeons, I went ahead and had my Gastric Bypass done on 12/23/2020. I am 10 days out of surgery, and don’t have trouble keeping liquids down. I am at 45-48ozs of liquid a day only. Do get nausea without eating/drinking anything. Zofron really helps. I have lost only 6lbs of weight in 10 days. Is it normal. Would appreciate any and all support. Thank you all.
