Not a sleeve. I am getting revised from a sleeve to a bypass on the 20th! Good luck!! I am crazy nervous, how are you holding up?




I just found out about 2 hours ago and I've gone from excited to scared to anxious in that short amount of time. LOL! It does not seem real yet. I am planning to get organized this week. I have to make a shopping list, get things in order at work and home with my kids. I'm hoping the distraction will help with my nerves. Can I ask why you are going from the Sleeve to bypass? I considered both but my dr thought the Sleeve was good for me.

I got my sleeve in 2013. Since then I have had constant nausea, vomiting, and reflux which has only gotten worse. I now have esophageal dismotility as well which they are associating with the reflux. I did not have reflux before the sleeve. Bypass should eliminate the reflux and hopefully allow my esophagus to heal

I've known a few people who had this, but not from WLS, where it turned into cancer so I hope you get it done soon. From everything I understand about RNY is it tends to be good at resolving reflux/GERD. Wish you the best.

Ah! I have heard that bypass helps acid reflux. Best of luck to you! [emoji5]

I've come up with all sorts of stuff to say back to my stoner friends making fun of me being in surgery that day.. "you may be taking bong hits on 420 but I'm getting gassed/mainlining some liquid china white -- what now?"

      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!!

      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
