Baconville!! WOW!!!! 210 pds is AWESOME!!!!! I'm very happy for u! That is totally life changing! I love to hear success stories like yours!! It really motivates me!!

Hello! I'm scheduled to having a revision from sleeve to gastric bypass on February 27,2015. I'm having mixed emotions about all this. The reason I need a revision is because I didn't lose enough weight with my sleeve. I ended up losing 50pds. Which is good!! But not enough I have 70-80 more pds to go. I've tried EVERYTHING!! Intense exercise I eat what I'm suppose to but I'm allergic to fruits vegetables and all kind of nuts!! So that doesn't help much. If I eat vegetables cooked I'll be alright but if they're raw.. Forget it it'll get ugly!! What I want to know is how the people that have gotten the gastric bypass or about to get it feel about it. Did you also have mixed emotins? What do u like and don't like about it?? Thank you in advance for taking ur time and sharing ur thoughts!!

Yes cupcake totally agree with u!! I'm going to do it for me, I deserve it!! I didn't have much success with my sleeve but I'm happy with what I lost already but hopefully with my revision I get to lose the rest of the weight and get to my goal weight!!

Thank you very much for ur words Shelly!! Yes I know there's risks of complications. But I also know that If I do it I will be a happier person. And that's what I'm aiming for!!????

Hi!! I had my gastric sleeve feb 2013 and sometime next year I'll be converting into gastric bypass Had anyone out there had the same procedure as I am. Can u please share ur story with me . TIA

I only lost 60-65 pds and have gained 15 back. I eat right exercise on a regular basis but just can't lose more weight. . Don't get me wrong I'm happy with the 50 that I'm down so far but I still need 70-80 more to go.

Hi! Sure I'll share my experience with u. I got sleeved 2/16/2013 in mexico my dr is wonderful!!! Never had any problem thank god!! At 6 months I stop losing weight. I lost a total of 60-65pds. But gradually gained 15 back. I'm allergic to fruits vegetables and any kind of nuts!! So that didn't help any but if the veggies are cooked I'll be ok. But regardless I would eat healthy and exercise 5 days out of the week I just couldn't lose anymore!! Plus I eat healthy but I notice I can eat more now. It's gotten very frustrating. I'm glad I've lost 50 so far but I still need 70-80 more to go. I only wish I would've just done the GB instead. But don't let my story discourage u. There's many that do great with the sleeve. .

Thank you!!

Wow!! U look wonderful!! Congratulations!!

It got me so sad/mad/scared when she told me that!! Came and talked to my husband he told me to pay no attention to negative people. He's so supportive and my daughters are very supportive as well and that's all I need. Thank you for ur words

Thank you!! I'm not gonna let negative comments stop me from feeling good again!!

Now I'm scared just yesterday I was mentioning it to a friend and she right away made a big deal and said "u need to becareful I know of several people that have died from that surgery!!" Oh my that scarred me

Congratulations on ur weight loss over 200 pds is amazing!!! Wow I really hope I can get to my goal this time around!!! Thank you for taking ur time and responding )

Hi!! So did u decide if u want a BBL?? I think u should go for it!! good luck!!

Hi!! I'm going to mexico march 28th. For a tummy tuck lipo and butt augmentation. But I'm terrified of getting blood clots!!!! Did anybody ever go thru this? I'm just so nervous/scared ;(

.

Awesome!!! Congrats!! Where is ur dr from? I'm excited about mine I'm just scared cuz it's gonna be in mexico u know away from my lived ones . But my husband will be with me. I'll be getting tummy tuck lipo and butt. So do u have a scheduled date already? Good luck to u keep us posted!!

That's a pretty routine amount of work at one time. From what I've read, that's not at all too much. Have you been on Realself.com? You can post concerns there for plastic surgeons to comment on. You also can review hundreds of procedures. Pretty complete site. Similar to bariatric pal. It's totally normal to have fears and nerves before surgery. I think you can let go of the anxiety and allow yourself to be excited Some of those Brazilian butt lifts are crazy!!! Is that what you're getting? Doesn't sound like it. I would be curious to know how does someone get comfortable after a BBL and TT? I bet they don't combine those two cause you can't sit on your butt...rambling. I'll go ramble somewhere else. Wow!!' Thanks for telling me about that site it's amazing it has great questions/topics!! And the best part is that it PS answering the questions!! I've never seen how they do the BBL but I'm gonna look at how they do it on YouTube. I did see how they do TT on YouTube it's amazing!! My PS and several of his patients told me the procedure he does is common but I was just wondering if it was too much. But that for clearing that up for me:). Was it very painful for u?

Thank u for the advice!!! Idk if its too much what I'm getting done at once or is it normal? My ps says it's gonna be ok but I think I'm just very nervous. I'm getting tummy tuck lipo and some of the fat is gonna be inserted into my buttocks. So I'm gonna have a flat tummy and a big booty!!!! Lol im scared but excited at the same time

Thank u for the advice!!. Is it normal that I'm scared of blood clots? Were u ever afraid of that too?

Yes I totally agree with clothes just don't sit right. And yes I rather get the TT than have all the extra skin. Good luck to u on ur surgery!!! . Don't forget to post pictures.

Thank u!' I sure will post pictures!! And I'll share my experience . I got sleeved in Mexico and the doctors were wonderful hopefully I'll have the same experience this time around.

Thank u!! Dr Delgado in chihuahua mexico. It's my first time going that far into mexico. So yea I'm nervous about the surgery and about the trip as well. But hopefully everything will be ok. I guess u can say I'm nervous/excited.

Thank u very much for ur advice!!. I guess the nerves are normal.
