hello! I weigh 220 right now and had my band removed 12 months ago. I want the sleeve but afraid of the acid reflux that I've heard may accompany it. It was awful with the band. However, I did lose 45 lbs but have regained 15 lbs back. was anyone else a light weight for RNY?

I weighed 237 and was revised to bypass 7/15/15. I had very bad acid reflux too and that's why my surgeon didn't recommend the sleeve.

I'll be a light-weight when I have my band-to-bypass surgery. I've got a BMI around 36-37.

The day of surgery (7/31) weighed 207.5. I came home the next day weighing 214. (That was a bummer). This morning I weighed 206.5.

@Kaye221 - maybe ask how tall you are? I too am 237 at 5'8" and am going for the bypass but meet with surgeon on the 20th. Md recommended bypass because of my heartburn too. They want me to have a scope first too. I was curious how much you have lost since the bypass recently. Thanks much and hope you are healing well ????
