Hello Everyone,
I just got my surgery date set for August 26th, 2020. I am having the Gastric Bypass surgery. I am feeling a bit nervous but I excited at the same time. I am new here so any tips or general chats are welcome [emoji2]
Hey there...mine is on the 17th. I am doing a revision from the sleeve to bypass. Have you started on your preop diet yet? What state or city are you from. I am kinda nervous here.

I have not started my pre-op diet yet. I have 2 weeks before surgery until I can start. I have been eating less for about a week and a half so that hopefully it I won’t be so hungry when doing the diet. I can eat one meal a day. 150g of Protein and no more than 30g of carbs is my goal. I am from Atlanta, GA. Where are you from? We can be nervous together 😂

I start my diet this upcoming week. When I had the sleeve done, I couldn't stand powder Protein Shakes since they got got me nauseous. I end up on Isopure premade Protein Drink. It worked out just fine and they are I find them to be tasty. Also, if you do not mind me asking whats you current weight, height, and BMI...and what is you targeted weight?

Awesome I will have to look into the Isopure because I really don’t like power Protein either. My Current weight is 306lbs, Height 5’3 BMI is 54. My goal weight is 160lbs. Why are you choosing bypass now above the sleeve?

I just got notified yesterday of my approval (wow that was a long process as my insurance required 6 months of nutrition visits first) and my surgery date for sleeve surgery is August 27th!

Hi PerezL84. I am scheduled for the Gastric bypass. The pre op is tough. Been hungry and tired but hoping that passes, just day 3.

Best of luck. I got the sleeve 6 years ago. I suffered from GERD and the sleeve was dialted causing me to eat more. Now I am doing the RYN Bypass.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
