I'm from Huntsville, AL. I had Gastric Bypass just over 5 years ago. I have lost 110 lbs. since my first Dr. visit. Not having many problems as long as I don't eat to fast or to much. I was your typical obese person, had diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. I am no longer on any meds for any of these problems. This procedure probably saved my life. It at lest extended it. I am ever so thankful to Dr. Mailapur for this tool. I was unfortunate enough to develop gastro/gastric fistulas 3 years after surgery. This required a very extensive and long surgery to correct. It required a complete revision of my bypass and removal of the remnant portion of my stomach. I had an ulcer caused when an orthopedic surgeon placed me on aspirin as a blood thinner after having hip replacement. He did not tell me that he used aspirin for this. Had a great gastroenterologist that treated the ulcer and things are now much better. I would not trade having bypass for anything. We have a fantastic support group here that is sponsored by our local hospital. It is staffed with a terrific nurse administrator and dietician.

      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! 😞
