I had the gastric sleeve in December 2012. I lost 100 lbs but have since gained back 55 Lbs. I have extreme GERD, have been hospitalized for Ulcers. i went and met with the doctor and he recommended doing the bypass to alleviate my GERD and other issues. i am now waiting on my ins approval. Has anyone else had this procedure done? did it relieve your GERD and how much additional weight did you lose?

I have BSBS and I am still waiting for approval. My doctor sent this is in as just a regular surgery instead of a gastric surgery because it is mainly to heal my GERD... They came back and said I had to do all the things of a gastric surgery. So I went and had my psych evaluation Monday and did a nutritional assessment and they have to resubmit it! So I am patiently waiting!!

I too am at a stall! I had surger dec 28th and have lost 71 lbs so far! But for like the last month i have gone up a lb then down a lb!! Its so frustrating! I havent been working out because I just moved and im still getting settles from that plus I work full time and have 3 kids! Glad i have lost this much but its getting discouraging now

Do you have ant more jeans for sale?

Do you have any of the clothing available

Do you have the size 20 jeans still?

Do you still have the dark grey size 22 pants for sale?

I wouldve kicked the doc in the face if i wasnt so high that I was delerious. lol

They just insert this little thing inside you and put dye in it. It doesnt hurt at all!

They did mine in the office with no anesthesia. They gave me 2 Xanax to calm my nerves, 2 percocet for pain, a shot in my hip for pain, and a suppository that had pain meds in it. I could barely even walk into the room to get on the table. The actual procedure was excruciating and i felt everything, I cried the whole time. I havent had problems after the surgery but u need to be really careful for 3 months to make sure u dont get pregnant. If my doc would have done it in the hospital under anesthesia it wouldnt have been an issue.

I had that procedure done in August 2011. It was the worst experience I had went through....lets just say the pain was so bad I would rather have natural childbirth! They give you so much pain meds befire the procedure that you will be high for 2 days straight so I hope someone will be with you for 2 days! I dont know if you want me to explain what they do but its awful and painful and I would never recommend it to anyone. My doc made it sound like the easy way out and it definitely was not!

I am a lilttle over 3 weeks out and I have hit a stall. How do I break it? I have lost 16 lbs since surgery which I feel great about but now that Ive hit this stall I dont know what to do!?
