@@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

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'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? 🤷‍♀️
