Sleeve to bypass on August 18th



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve surgery in December 2015, we have a wonderful, active, supportive, and SECRET Facebook group that I still turn to regularly.

I've lost a lot more weight than anyone expected, currently about 113lbs. After having reflux issues, it was discovered that my stomach is twisted, with similar results to a stricture. My surgeon has recommended I have a gastric bypass, which is booked for August 18th. I can't remember much about the recovery from the previous surgery, my surgeon said it will be easier this time because I'm at a normal BMI and much fitter. I'm mostly worried about the recovery, plus doing the liquid diet again will suck!

Just wanted to reach out to my new BP community, I hope to find other August 2017 bypass buddies so we can get through this together!

Hello! I'm scheduled for RNY Gastric Bypass on Aug 18th as well. Originally scheduled on Aug 3 but the surgeon had a family emergency and I had to reschedule. This will be my first bariatric surgery and I'm so excited! I've been on the liquid diet since July 20th because of the rescheduling and it's hard but I think it's good for me, getting me in the right mindset.

      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!!
