NBflo Girl reacted to SleeveDreamer in Had VSG now Gastric Bypass in three days
Having gastric bypass this Monday the 12th. I had a vertical sleeve 5 1/2 years ago. Mainly becuase 2/3 of my stomach was up through my diaphragm , between my lungs geaded for my heart. He had to do a sleeve in order to get my stomach back in its place without destoying my diaphragm. The doctor could not put the mesh on to prevent another hiatial hernia because of all the stitches in my diaphragm, so I now have a small one again, and my acid is completely out of control, and also have a small trace of Barretts Esophagus. My only option to stop this horrid constant acid is gastric bypass. I have everything ready for my post op. Had a successful recovery from my sleeve. Not scared and very optiimistic. I have the best surgeon I could possiby have, and that I know cuz he saved my life when he did my sleeve. I lost 75 pounds with the sleeve. I realize that the restriction is ,much worse with the RNY than the sleeve, but I hope I get through it as well as I did last time. Not looking forward to the gas pains in my shouder though!

I am 61 and am 2 years out from having the band.. I am now having complications with the band and am considering the sleeve. I am trying to find information from people that are at least out 2-3 years to see if there are any comon complications.. I am still deciding whether to throw in the towel and get the band out or get the sleeve.. Actually I am on the side of the sleeve so far.. Please respond .. thank you , shar

NBflo Girl got a reaction from ronnie87 in Met a guy three weeks before my surgery...Crap!
Ronnie, why in the world would he freak out about it ?? I don't understand it unless he was afraid for you to have the surgery.. I say, he will either think about it and come crawling back with a better understanding of the surgery or as they others say, you will definately have your pick later on.. wait until springtime.. this will be all behind you and you will be starting to get a new wardrobe and a new guy (s).. you really don't need any negativity in your life at this time.. this was a big decision to make and you made the right one.. take one day at a time.. it'll all work out..
