Hi,

My name is Deb and I am 58 years old (soon-to-be 59), physically disabled with spinal muscular atrophy (I cannot walk), and have just been greenlighted by my psychiatrist for the gastric bypass.

I had been thinking of getting the vertical sleeve surgery but my medical doctor told me today that the gastric bypass would be better for me since my main reason for having surgery is to put my diabetes in remission. (Kidneys leaking Proteins from my diabetes and I don't want to lose my kidneys.) So here I am facing gastric bypass surgery.

I look forward to meeting you, fellow-members of the forum. I will try my best to be an active participant in this forum.

By the way, my surgery should be sometime in July. Any other July surgeries out there?

Deb

I actually had my surgery on March 22nd. I had a few complications but nothing major. I'm currently back on a liquid diet until after my endoscopy. Good luck with everything

Sorry about your complications and having to have an endoscopy. If I may, may I ask what you're complications were?

I'm a little concerned about complications but not too too much. My daughter had the surgery six years ago and is basically doing fine. she had to have an endoscopy done recently. Everything was okay but they think she has bacteria in her intestines. she has yet to have that checked out. she is busy with other Dr. appointments that have nothing to do with her gastric bypass surgery.

Thanks for responding...

I am having problems eating. I throw up 90% of the time and they did and upper g.i and said my passageway was too narrow and my pouch was a bit tight...so when I eat the food isn't actually passing through the pouch but sorta sitting on top of the opening which causes the vomiting. I'm so hungry lol...I can't wait til they fix it so I can eat a little something
