Hey guys! I am looking for a surgery buddy! I am being revised to RYN on July 9th due to Gerd

I'm having revision from Sleeve to MGB July 2 cannot wait

what is a MGB? and why are you being revised? GERD?

that and I never lost all my weight with the sleeve. mgb is mini gastric bypass

Does your surgeon think you will have a good weight loss with the revision? It seems to be missed opinions about what to expect

I'm scheduled for RNY on July 3. I began my process in Feb with the seminar, and I'm relieved and excited that my day is finally coming up.

I'll be in the hospital for 2 nights, so I'll be watching 4th of July fireworks on TV in my hospital room lol

I'm in the Chicago area.

Hello!!!

I am set for 7/2 at730am. I will be having gastric bypass with cholecystectomy.

I would love to be your buddy Looking for one myself. My BMI is 41 currently, and I have no other issues. Basically healthy obese person, just can never lose all the weight I have needed to with diet and exercise!

I am also on 7/2. Having the RNY! So nervous!

Im not nervous at all. I already had the sleeve and that was the easiest thing I ever did so im not nervous plus my surgeon is brilliant. I'm sort of looking forward to it lol

I have had 2 c-sections (last one 5 years ago). My worry is more for scar tissue and pain management afterward! Plus I am a nurse in the hospital where I am having the procedure so of course that gives me a little nerves. I am super excited for the journey though! I can't wait. You are having yours done in Mexico?

Yes, I went there for my sleeve and I got better care then i ever got here in America! my insurance doesn't cover bariatric surgery so I go to Dr Illan. he is a brilliant dr and the hospital is beautiful.

I’ve seen the mixed opinions as well, and it honestly made me nervous, while waiting for my revision. I was revised VSG to RnY 6/4 and my one month was 29# including pre op diet, 15.2# since day of surgery. My VSG pre op and first month was 29.9# and I weighed 60+ lbs more with my VSG. I’m feeling good about it.

Had my RNY on 7/2. First two days post op sucked but I feel pretty good today
