Anyone Had Gastric Bypass Then A Redo?



Recommended Posts

hi im interested in hearing from anyone who has had gastric bypass surgery and had to go in for a redo ..

i had gastric bypass in 2004 and my starting weight was 493lb and got down to 260lb and i kept it off for 6 years.

but due to a disc prolapse and upcomming knee surgery and heart issues ive put on almost 60lb again .

i saw my surgeon last week and he has put me back on the waiting list for a gastric bypass redo

or for the gastric sleve (whichever he decides to do).

im told i will only be waiting about 12 weeks for this surgery and i am very scared as i have heard it is high risk surgery..

.so id like to hear from anyone who has had the redo and if they had any problems with it...

i had no problems with the first gastric bypass other than needing to be on Iron and B12 injections...

thanx from debz

I had the sleeve done in 2010. I had a couple of surgeries soon after the sleeve that slowed down my wt. loss only got down about 70 lbs. I'm going to have the bypass done on 9/17/12. I'm very nervous but at the same time excited. I will try my best to keep u updated to my progress.

      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! 😞
