@@CrissyCakes even minus the drugs as long as it was like my 1st lol the 2nd was unreal amounts of lower back pain ???????????? hehe I would so ask and I 2nd the rest no band you don't want something man made in your body like that for yrs, IMO. Yep, I think I just literally made up my mind, bypass for me I'm 5'5" 1/2 n 300

☆Jeni☆

Lol I threw up severely for mines. I would look at food and throw up. In and out of the hospital...lol but I ended up with a pretty cute kid so it balanced.

I called the coordinator, waiting to hear back. Don't wanna lose only to possibly gain back. My surgeon tried very hard to talk me into band, told me I'd gain all the weight back. That I'd stretch my new stomach. That the band was better, easier. ????????????

My mom had the bypass and she said if she could do it all over again if they had it 10 years ago she would have done the sleeve . Dumping syndrome and gas are the worst for her

Isn't there a way to help with the dumping though?

@@CrissyCakes the dumping is a consequence of what your not suppose to be eating. To much sugar or even carbs n maybe fat I'm not 100% sure have read about it just not sure. If you don't eat that "bad" stuff you should be fine. As far as the sleeve I thought the same thing, you can eat all the stuff you used to just not as much supposing but I don't even wanna have that option as that's what git me where I am now, a bite here a bite there a lil this a lil that n well hello portions for 2 the bypass is more strict n thats what I know I need

So my coordinator told me if I want to do bypass I can, but I'd have to wait until August. Then I looked into it more, and I've decided to stick with the sleeve. Although it's like why not, I know it'll be approved and what's a couple more weeks ????????????

      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!!

        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
