Sleeve after bypass



Recommended Posts

Then why are you here? This whole exchange started because you made an insensitive comment and I called you out on it. I thought perhaps I could provide a different point of view that might cause you to at least rethink your judgement of others.

My mistake...

Why am I here. For specific and factual information for my post op mostly. And as far as my post, I don't need to rethink anything. 1. She got a bypass. 2. she lost the weight. 3. she gained it all back. Those are the facts. The surgery worked. She failed. It happens. My comments aren't meant to judge.

You speak of a different point of view, yet you're indifferent to anyone else's viewpoint. I didn't post with the intention of changing anyone's viewpoint anymore than they would change mine. But the facts are that NO surgery, including the Switch will work without the efforts of the patient after surgery.

It's also possible that if she did choose to get yet another surgery, that stroking her past failure might not really help, but maybe she would try harder just to prove my viewpoint wrong.

Again......you all do what you want and I'll do my thing. That said.. Ya'll have a nice day.

Who said she didn't put any "EFFORT" forth in her past surgery. And if you hadn't missed it many here have had second surgeries and are successful. Hence all the band to sleeve revisions. And RnY is not the most drastic surgery....that would be the DS. There are more ppl than you know that go on to that surgery. Check out some of the other forums. It's what ever works for you. I for one will never go back to where I have been. If I have to go forth and have a second surgery to prevent that...I will. And so should anyone else if they have done all the work for it. If you have done your head work and know what's right for you, why not? Why be judgmental and not offer support to someone who is in a position you maybe in later? Who knows where you will be in 17 years? You may have had the sleeve and be well on your way to regaining a big percentage of your weight back. Wouldn't you want support? Wouldn't you want further options?

Lookin4change,

Well, it looks like my one comment has managed to derail your topic. That was not my intention. I apologize for that and will refrain from any further posts here so it can get back on track. Best of luck to your sister.

Recycled it seems like whenever you come out of the men's room to post you piss of a whole lot of women (and men I'm sure)...

You know when you finally get your surgery, you might understand where these people are coming from a bit more....

Everyone, please remember to be respectful of one another.

OP, to definitively answer your question, yes, it is possible and people have had success with it.

I just love my rosé colored glasses, I'm wearing them right now. In fact, if I didn't wear my rosé colored glasses, I'd be done killed somebody. I think everybody needs a pair of rosé colored glasses.....and a glass of wine doesn't hurt either.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
