I had my gbp surgery back in 2018 I was 205lbs I'm 4'10 with a very small frame. I was having health issues more than I can count on being in and out of the hospital. So the doc and I talked and decided that this would be good for me, so I did it. I had no issues and I went down to 110lb in like 6-8 months my energy was back I was able to enjoy riding bikes and going to the pool just everything outside including hiking and camping. I stayed that weight for a long time give or take a little. But it's now 2021 and with in the last two or three months my weight went down to 81lbs and I'm always nauseous and I have been vomiting a lot, my energy is down in always lightheaded and dizzy. I'm meeting with my doctor next week to talk about all of this but I feel I'm not getting enough. I'm getting scars cause I look sick all the time. I'm 48 and I'm thinking about having a gastric reverse done. Is this something to consider?

it can be done, but it's a complicated surgery and they normally won't do it unless you have serious medical issues that can't be resolved any other way. I'd wait and talk to the doctor first - they may be able to figure out what's going on and treat it.

      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!!
