2012 Sleeve 12/02/202 RVISION TO BYPASS

Starting 296lbs down to 189LBS MY LOWESET FIRST GO ROUND.

Started back drinking Cokes n Nos. Stopped walking and lifting. Over the next 2 years put weight went back up to 240. 2017-2019.

2020 decision was made when I was told about hernia if I had not had hernia like many of you who have chosen to do a revision. I would not have decided for it. Acid reflux was beating me down.

so Sleeve to Gastric bypass completed 12/02/2020. starting 236 lbs 12/20/2020 weight 212.8. Any Killeen/ Temple area folks hit me up no matter what year you come across this we are always trying to stay focus. ☮️

Kempner, TX but working out of the Killeen office with the Texas Bariatric Specialist group. Sleeved December 2018 and had revision to Roux-en-x-y gastric bypass on October 7th, 2020 per GERD/Acid reflux issues causing damage to my vocal chords and creating a cancer risk. Lost 20 more lbs since revision and am happy with results as I was only able to get to 173 with sleeve and now I am 8 bs from goal weight ( Now weighing 153) and finally within reach. I have had no complication and no longer any problems with GERD or reflux and am very happy thus far.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
