Gastric bypass surgery revision



Recommended Posts

I had a revision surgery on the 4th of February from sleeve to bypass due to bile reflux. I keep losing weight and I think I look sick smaller...and darn it I wish I could stop throwing up and having fatigue. My nerves are shot I'm constantly depressed more than before. My senses have gotten more sensitive. I'm wishing now I just stuck with the sleeve. I have been in the hospital 3 days due to low Vitamins...potassium, magnesium and was dehydrated. Will things get better or am I stuck not eating regular food anymore..? I'm scared and hurt. All I can think about is my depression and my regrets. Actually I wish I was large again...at least I wouldn't be sick and could eat what I wanted....please help....I'm tired of pain and sadness and sickness....

I don't have any advice, but I wanted to just say I'm sorry you're going through a hard time :(

Maybe, are you restricted? Has your doctor had any good advice, has he listened to your concerns?

Hopefully someone will come along with some good advice, in the meantime, try really hard to keep your spirits up!

(((hugs)))

I am so sorry you are having a hard time. It has to be frustrating for you.

In terms of your senses being more sensitive, that did get better for me. Those first few months are rough and I do remember the smells and tastes being out of whack.

Has the doctor provided any insight as to why you are vomiting so much?

It would help to know where you are at with your food plan. Does everything make you vomit or just certain things? Are you able to get Water and Protein shakes down and keep them down?

For me, once I was able to really get after the Protein and Water I started to feel better and be stronger.

I hope you get better soon!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
