Hiii everyone I’m Sasha. I had vsg surgery in 2018 and I will be having it revised to bypass 12/22. Looking for any surgery buddies around that time. I’m also excited to read everyone’s journeys on the subject so that I may prepare and not seem so alone. I hope everyone is well on this Saturday❤️

Hi Terry welcome! How are u feeling?

I actually feel pretty good. No real pain and getting around pretty well. Not having any problems.

That’s awesome to hear..how was it getting your fluids in after surgery? How is healing so far compared to the sleeve?

I haven't had any trouble getting my fluids in. As a matter of fact I wonder if i'm not getting too much. I am not hungry or having cravings. I am tired of liquids. There is just so many ways to change up jello. Healing is going well. No incision problems that I can tell. I guess I'm lucky. I will take it as a win.

Hi there! I’m having my revision on 11/30. Had a nutrition class as review, stuff is getting real now!

Bypass Revision due to GERD

(Horrible Reflux)

Good morning,

Congratulations to everyone on here who made the decision to become a better version of themselves!!!❤️ Is there anyone in the Atlanta, Georgia area??? My surgery date was 12/22/22… looking for my buddy or twin?
I am 5 days post op and the first three days were challenging, but I believe it was to be expected. Just a lot of discomfort.

Sooooooo, Vitamins always First

and about that drinking water and getting the fluids needed. I drink all of my water with

Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier - Lemon Lime - Hydration Powder Packets | Electrolyte Drink Mix | Easy Open Single-Serving Stick | Non-GMO | 16 Stick https://a.co/d/g0ZjYd9 it’s so much easier cold and I sip on it all day long. 24oz and I keep it in a Manna or Yeti cup to stay cold.

I get my protein in with Evolve protein drinks and no sugar yogurts and cottage cheese throughout the day. I don’t have a hunger feeling so I have to try and time it.

(All very high in protein)

Evolve Plant Based Protein Shake, Double Chocolate, 20g Vegan Protein, Dairy Free, No Artificial Sweeteners, Non-GMO, 10g Fiber, 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 12) - (Formula May Vary) https://a.co/d/emMQGGo

Ratio Keto Friendly Coconut Yogurt Cultured Dairy Snack Cup, Keto Yogurt Alternative, 5.3 oz https://a.co/d/6msj2k9

Good Culture Cottage Cheese Organic 4% Whole Milk Classic, 16 oz https://a.co/d/06oD97i

For my calcium I take 3 chewable supplements of

Caltrate Chewables 600 Plus D3 Plus Minerals Calcium Vitamin D Supplement, Cherry, Orange And Fruit Punch - 155 Count https://a.co/d/3a9w3Fn

I hope this helps a little.

Hi, I'm getting a conversion too, at the end of January! I'm trying to give support groups a chance, though admittedly I'm not the greatest at this kind of thing. Thanks for writing. What led you to the conversion?

@lunaticfish the severe GERD/Acid Reflux. My doctor said this would be the best course of action. It has been a challenge❤️but, I know it had to be done. I have finally been able to get a good nights sleep without worrying about my reflux trying to take me out!

Yikes. Seems like a ton of people have GERD; I've been super lucky not to have gotten it myself. I'm glad you're doing better already!

So how's it going for everyone?

Hi everyone!!! I just got cleared (due to a lot of sleeve complications) to have my revision to bypass. I have GERD, gastritis, esophagitis and a TON of polyps I've had to have removed (a surgery every month since January, last one was yesterday) because of the high PPI I've had to take long term due to the GERD. A little nervous about complications, stricture, food getting stuck, etc... How has it been for all of you that had revisions?
