Hi I'm in reading. I was planning on the sleeve, but now my dr recommended bypass due to reflux. So now I'm going crazy trying to find out more about bypass. I was so focused on the sleeve. Hope it goes well or you.

My dr recommended the same thing, as I had horrible reflux. I knew from the start I didn't want the bypass though. I still went with the sleeve, and I couldn't be happier. It's been almost 9 months, I'm down 100 lbs, I still take prilosec daily as a preventative measure, but reflux hasn't been an issue.

Hi everyone. I am getting sleeved on Thursday, Nov 29 in Harrisburg at Community Hospital. Dr DiMarco from Pinnacle Weight Loss Center is performing

Operation. So far Pre op has been a breeze. It is getting so close, only a couple of days, many mixed feelings but mostly anxious for results. I started at my high

Of 307, dropped to 302 and now two days prior I am at 295. I am looking forward with a positive outlook to a new life with dealing with food responsibly.

I had Dr. Ceppa and yes, I live in the area... Exeter to be precise. I would love to have someone to talk and walk with! I feel amazingly better today, but it's been a little rough up to this point. How about you? Tell me all!

Done! But I haven't told anyone, nor do I intend to tell anyone, that I've had this done, so please don't mention it on my timeline. :)

We have a mutual friend... My son's girlfriend!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
