Good luck @@zumbapink, I have had not one issue with GERD since the day I had surgery. Poof! Gone. I am two weeks out tomorrow and see the dr for my first follow up today. The first few days are rough but as long as you start moving around and walking in the hospital, the better you will feel, faster.

Thank you @! I think I made the right choice so far. Now let's hope that eventually. I'll be able to get all my fluids and Protein in.

Glad to hear you are doing well!

I am in the process of getting some tests done. Had endoscopy less then a year ago. Getting gastric emptying scan today. Then I just need 1phych, 1nutrition and a upper GI series. All are scheduled next week. Hoping to have the surgery done end of June beginning of July. Just worried about insurance. Ugh. My GERD is sooo bad! I am on 5 meds because of it. Was sleeved April 2012 and now need a revision to bypass.

Hey all! I will be revised from my sleeve to gastric bypass on July 20th due to a pretty large hiatal hernia as well as gerd.. I have lost about 70 pounds and I am over a year out from the first surgery. I have heard the weight loss is slower the second time around and I am just curious on what the weight loss has been for others in a revision. Would love any feedback on weight loss!

Hi I'm new on here. But I too had the VSG surgery in December 2011 and I got pregnant a year after and my pouch dilated a lot and I didn't eat bad things nor did I over eat. My surgeon doesn't want to revise me. So iam about to see another surgeon about doing revision. I'm morbidly obese I'm over 400lbs I have high blood pressure bad joint pains and my weight is crushing my lungs so it's hard for me to breath. My insurance said they could cover it cause my primary is referring it. But I'm afraid the other surgeon may not want to do it either

Mama 11 - I'm also morbidly obese I haven't had my surgery yet. I just want to say, find a doctor who will do the surgery. If the next one doesn't want to, go to another. You deserve to live your life without the pain of arthritis and without struggling to breath.

Thank you Dar200! I'm gonna try. I went to my new appt at the new surgeon office Iam now seeing. She wants me to do weight management to see if I still have a eating problem. And it's gonna take several months. At the first hospital where I had my VGS they had me do weight management for a year and a half. Than he says he's not doing it I'm so tired of wasting my time! But barix clinics said they would do revision to gastric bypass but they very far from my home and my insurance they don't accept

I am doing fabulous! I am down 47 pounds in just under four months post op. 20 more pounds and I will be at my original goal weight! I am still learning my pouch and what I can comfortably eat. The doctor was surprised by how much weight I've lost so quickly with the revision so I must be doing all things well. Thank you for asking! Good luck to all of you!

      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?

      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
