Ive made the right choice!



Recommended Posts

Hi all I am 30 years old will be 31 march 13th and i have went for my first visit with my weight loss surgeon just last week... I went in wanting the sleeve and once I sat through the class and seen the surgeon I've decided to get the bypass its the best option with all my health problems, and my bmi! So I should be on the operating table by the end of march or beginning of April! Good luck to everyone that is having it and I am looking forward to posting my progress:-)

Good luck to you too Tiffany. I was sure I wanted the band when I went to see the surgeon the first time, and he presented all the data - including the success data. I chose the RNY - and after seeing all the people here who tried the band and then and then had to do the RNY in the end - I think we have made the right choice.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
