Wow your the first and only response !! I just had mine done on Feb 12th. I am in quite a bit of pain, finding it a little hard to breathe. Did you have any pain or this much pain?

Hi all, I just had my surgery on the 12th in Mexico. I had a revision from vsg to a bypass. I was discharged the next day. I am in alot of pain still and it's hard to breathe and stand up right. Has anyone experienced this? When can I expect to feel better?

I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. I'll definitely try some of the options you've suggested

Wow thank you for being so honest, I really appreciate that. It sounds like your staying on the right track for sure. Glad to hear you pitched the junk What do you do if your out and want to grab something to eat? Most of the crap out there is fried...I am worried about being able to make a good choice at that point. Have you come across that ?

Awesome. Have you had any challenges ?

Thanks Curvy When did you do yours?

I can't believe it, my surgery is scheduled for Tuesday...I am so nervous !! I fly out tomorrow. I am having a revision from a vsg to a bypass. Anyone else having the same thing done?

Vicki1205 I'm flying to Puerta Vallarta. I am doing this alone, but my family is flying in at the end of the week to spend another week with me there recouping. Thank you for the well wishes. Where did you have yours done?

Thanks Revision in Texas

Hi guys. Is RNY a bypass? Sorry if it's a dumb question but I am having a revision from a VSG to a bypass...my surgery is this Tuesday in PV and I am so scared this time around. Thankfully I don't have severe acid reflux but I didn't really lose much weight at all with the VSG. I am doing self pay in Mexico. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Hi. I am booked for my bypass on Feb 11, 2014. I am having a revision from a vsg. I am very scared I have asked on the forum if anyone else had this done but I haven't had any response I am very nervous about that. Does anyone know of anyone who's had it done? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. What do you mean revision from your bypass? What did they do ?

keish_lorraine the reason I say it was/is unsuccessful is because I have only lost about 40lbs total (that includes 21 lbs lost pre op) I had the surgery a year ago. KristinaRNY I hope they share their story with me...I am so scared of pushing my luck ya know....I am thinking of having it done by Dr. Joya in PV Febuary 11th, 2014. Lovinglife thank you for sharing your story...I hope your pain subsides soon. I had no pain after my VSG so I am afraid that I am gonna be in alot of pain this time

Hi all, has anyone gone from having a vsg to a bypass ? I had my vsg done a year ago and it was not successful. So now my only option is to have a bypass revision.

Is anyone using Dr. Joya for their surgery ? any Canadians on here ?

Whoops I wasn't done ! I was sleeved Jan 21, 2013. I started at 265lbs and am currently at 220lbs...the first 30 were pre op... I walk, swim and am thinking of trying the trampoline...it worked for my kids I feel like a complete failure..I did self pay so I don't have anyone to visit for advice etc...i'm wondering if it's possible not enough of my stomach wad cut out... I am well beyond frustrated at this point !!!

Omg you sound just like me !! I was sleeved JAN 21

Has anyone got some tips on losing belly fat? I'm having a hard time with it. I appreciate any help

Very handsome !! cute and smart

North-chicky I was sleeved in January ;(

Thank you Fiddle man. I appreciate all your words !!!

I'm 6 months out too...I've been stalled for months I thought I was the only one. I am so discouraged at this point. I've even tried going back to liquids for a bit. Still the same so I feel your pain !

Hi all, I am hoping and praying for some help here. I am 6 months out (self pay Mexico) I just don't know what to eat. I don't like fish, seafood or eggs so I am struggling with what I should be eating (balanced). I usually have a small spinach salad with some pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries...I make a dressing of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I snack on raw fruit or yogurt or some goldfish crackers. I still have a protein shake in the morning and try to get in my water, some days are better then others. If anyone can offer any advice I would appreciate it. I have been stalled for months

Thanks for the advise, I guess I'm heading to the grocery store for healthier options tomorrow....and Laura more chicken

Really ?? Omg I messing myself up here, I think I'm going to have to change my meals again. I just figured polenta was easily digestible..
