Hi im new here & have a question...



Recommended Posts

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

      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!
