Hi, I'm new to your group & was wondering if this is for any type of bypass surgery or just the ones listed? I had RNY back in 2003 & I would love to be a part of your group. Thanks!

Hi! Many of us are RNYers. There are forums for sleevers, banders, etc., but you are in the right place for rny support!

Welcome! Lots of people that have had RNY. Look at the surgery forums for the one on RNY.

Hi Christy, I see from ur name your in AZ, so am I. Where are you having your surgery done? When are you having it done? I had mine done at St Luke's Hospital in 2003. I originally lost 200 lbs & have been able to keep the weight off. I recently started loosing weight again (not sure why & going to drs to get checked, but I've lost another 20 lbs) I've gone from a sizzle 30 1/2 dress to a 12 at last check may be smaller now.

I've had a few issues crop up they had to move my bile duct connection & I also had a twist in my intestines. I have a B-12 deficiency so I get shots 2x a month & I may need to get IV Iron now also but these things were not something that would ever have stopped me from getting the surgery.

It's a def life change, it's not something to go into thinking it's easy it's a lifetime commitment. If I can answer any questions or you just need someone to talk to I'm here for ya!

Best wishes on your surgery!

Hugs,

Stacey

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
