Does it really take 2 years?



Recommended Posts

Well this is not what I want to hear! I'm 310. Probably be 300 day of surgery. You're saying I' only going to go down to 250 lbs? Iff that is true, why am I doing this?




My surgeon said to plan on about 18 months.
I personally do not want gastric bypass.
Dumping syndrome sounds horrible to me.
My BMI is currently 56





I was 333 last July, had the sleeve in October at 287, now weigh 212, still losing, but slower now at 6 months, 6 to 8 lbs a month, would be faster if I exercised. The sleeve has great success if you eat right, Protein and Water are key. I was a size 28, now 16s are loose, I'm 5 ft 10 in. Do the surgery, you will get your life back

@kinipela24, go into your account settings. On the far right, you'll see "Notification Settings." If you click on that and scroll down, you can disable email notifications. That way, you won't get a notification when someone posts. Every time someone responds, your topic will show up as a recent post in the forum, and others will keep responding as long as they are seeing it.

If you are walking away from BP in general, cutting off the email is the best way of separating yourself. You aren't allowed to delete your account; you aren't allowed to delete the post. At least if you don't get the emails, you can pretend as though BP doesn't exist.

Best wishes!

      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!!
