Seeking Information on Mini Gastric Bypass



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I had the band about 7 years ago and the sleeve in Tijuana about 3 years ago. I have been a very slow loser with the sleeve and can't seem to get rid of these last 30-40 pounds. I'm considering having the Mini Gastric Bypass later this year. I can't find a bunch of information anywhere else, so I thought some of you may be willing to share your experiences and your weight loss. I am willing to consider Juarez or Tijuana. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you in advance!

Google Dr. Rutledge. He has a ton of YouTube videos on MGB. I was a sleeve to MGB and my weight has been going down since surgery on July 28. My sleeve was not successful either. I used BariactricPal MX for my surgery in Tijuana.< /p>

FloraBama - I see it's only been a few months but are you happy with the revision so far? I am going for a sleeve revision Tuesday. Although I lost with the sleeve, I stopped losing way short of goal and am now slowly regaining. I'm torn between MGB and regular bypass. Thoughts?

I would recommend the MGB for less surgery time and less complications. It has gotten rid of my acid reflux and I am losing weight again. With the sleeve I had easy regain and couldn't pay to

lose any of it. I measured food, lifted weights, did cardio and would lose nothing. I am at 203having regained to 239. So I have lost 36 pounds since the start of the revision process.

I would be losing more but I have a bad knee that swells and hurts when I exercise. When I get

below 200 I will see about getting my knee fixed. It is bone on bone.

I am also interested in the MGB. I thought I would be getting the RNY but the MGB was suggested to me. Now to start all the research on that!

Goggle Dr. Rutledge. He is the original doctor that developed the MGB. He has a lot of YouTube video.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
