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!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
