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 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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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... :(
