Hello everyone, Im almost done with the process of getting surgery. I don't know which one I should do. Its between the gastric bypass and the gastric sleeve. I want something that will help me long term , that will help me for a long time. I'm 27 years old. I heard the sleeve could get stretched out. I just want some advice or what which one would pick? I'm leaning towards the gastric bypass. Thank you in advance ????

Just an update. Im 29 years old now. After this post i found out i was pregnant. I had to put the surgery on hold. It was a surprise. Well i had my baby and after i had her i went to see my bariatric doctor and in less then 6 to 7 months i got my surgery done on december 2, 2015. I got the gastric bypass surgery. I was at my highest weight of 280lbs. I am now 170 lbs. I feel awesome. Im not at my goal weight yet. Im kinda stuck on a stall rigjt now. I might try the 10 day pouch reset to see if it helps. I started day 1 today. And i just ate a pretzel. Lol do i have to start over? ???? I want to thank you all for your kind words and advice. I really am happy that i did tgis surgery. I feel so energized and happy with myself. I am also a vegan. For some reason i cant eat meat so i decided to become a vegan. Thank you all ❤❤????????

Im 6 months out and already lost 96 pounds. Im almost at my 100 lbs mark ????. But everyone is different. Results will all be different. 62 lbs is a lot of weight to lose. Try exercising more it may help. Sent from my LGMS345 using the BariatricPal App

Im about a month out of surgery. My question is how much food should i be eating? Im still on clear liquids and mushy food, soup, jello. Etc. When i was in the hospital i was given 4oz of brooth. Im just wondering if thats how much i should be eating of soup or anything. Thank you. I will contact my doctor but i just want your opinions on this.

Hello everyone. I am 13 days post op. Im in the liquid stage. I have a quetion. Is 6oz of protein shake too much for now? My dr said my tummy can hold 4oz for now. But im still hungry after the 4 oz so ill drink 6oz then im fine. Im just so scared that even this surgery wont help me lose weight. Im so depressed with myself. I do feel like im losing inches and maybe some weight. I know i just had my bypass done but i just feel so sad and im scared that this wont help me. Thank you for those who take the time to reply.

The only person i told was my sister and brother. I asked them not to say anything about it to anyone. My husband dosent even know i had the gastric bypass done on December 2nd. He was very against it when i told him about it. So i did it behind his back. I want to tell him. But im scared what he would think ???? On December 2nd i went in to have my gall bladder removed and had the bypass done all in one shot. My husband thinks i just had my gall bladder removed. Its hurting me inside that i cant share this journey with him ????????

Today is the day my life will change. Im getting surgery to better my self and health. Im at the hospital right now and im very nervous. I feel like crying because its finally happening. Im gonna take control of my life and not this thing called obesidy. Good luck to everyone having surgery today. ✌

Hello everyone. Just a little update. I had my surgery on dec 2. After the surgery i had alot of pain. I also had my gall bladder removed. So i was in alot of pain. I couldnt drink anything. I would throw it up. But today seems like its getting better. I can drink 4 oz in an hour. Without throwing up. I will be going home tomorrow. I just hope it gets better. And now the real challenge is here. To eat right and do what i can to keep myself healthy. Im very happy. Thank you all.

December 2nd my life will change for the better, I can't wait to begin this journey and become a better person. Doing this for myself, and for my 2 baby girls. Anyone wanna be buddies? Let me know ????

Hello, on October 21 I have to go see the surgeon to sign the papers to consent for surgery I guess? I want to know what will happen after I sign the papers. Can anyone tell me? Thank you. I'm very excited , I think I'm close to the surgery date.

Why would you not follow the nuts rules? You just had surgery, do you want to ruin your stomach? Smh

I am doing my surgery at Montefiore with Jenny Choi. I'm waiting for my last appointment with my primary doctor and to request the letter of support. Once that is done I'll be waiting to get approved then surgery date. I'm so excited to get fit and healthy. ????

Congratulations ???? I can't wait to post a post like this one. Did you do the sleeve?

@@Cdominguez I am really leaning towards gastric bypass surgery, I heard of many people getting the sleeve, then years later getting a revision for bybass.

Did you all have gastric bypass?

Also, what are some risks for the bybass?
