I was pretty much set on sleeve and my surgeon thought bypass was better for me. You have I see what other health concerns you have if any and what you are comfortable with. I ended up having bypass and am happy with my results.

I also have a desk job. I had my surgery on a Tuesday and was back at work the following Monday. No problem. At my job I am able to eat and drink at my desk and take a few minutes away if needed. So it worked for me. I couldn't afford to take any more time off than that.

Yes! I can eat pizza without any trouble. Only thing is I now have one small slice where I used to have three or four large ones. -
Why does everyone think that RNY = eating vitamins for a living?
jacileggs replied to SugarFreeMe's topic in Rants & Raves
I take 1 prenatal vitamin and 1 calcium supplement a day. My labs results are all normal. I wouldn't be able to handle taking a bunch of pills a day. -
OK Girls.. what the heck is the story
jacileggs replied to intelirish's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Yes cup size is the difference between around your rib cage under your chest and the largest part of your chest. So a 36C is much smaller than a 44C. -
To me this was not nearly as bad as my c-section. Didn't need hardly any pain meds.

14 lbs...31 lbs... 24lbs... what's wrong with me?
jacileggs replied to HYCIERRA's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Yes. "Lightweights" lose slower as they have less to lose. I am also a slow loser. But better a slow loser than not a loser. -
Miss Bean, how did you find your skin removal surgery? I am contemplating having it done also by possibly the same doctor. I hear he does amazing work and great minimal scarring.

Are you actually physically hungry? Or is it head hunger? -
realistic weight-loss expectations, question for older veteran female
jacileggs replied to onestepforward's topic in WLS Veteran's Forum
I am 6 months post op gastric bypass. In my experience with my clinic I have lost 80% of my excess weight so far. I plan on losing the rest of it also. A lot of people do lose more than the average. That's why it's an average. It depends in you and your commitment and dedication. -
This pretty much sums up my experience also.
-
A good idea. But personally I won't date someone who doesn't live locally. So I'm pretty sure it would be a waste of effort.

I have always been a fast eater and I still am.

jacileggs replied to maggie.alvarez's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Also the excessive sweating gets better as your weight goes down. Mine is pretty much gone. -
I six months post op and my hair loss is finally back to normal. I had super thick hair before and now it is just right. I'm hoping it doesn't grow back all the hair. Lol

Love and prayers for you and your family.

Head Hunger driving me insane
jacileggs replied to supremeh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm six months post op. Head hunger is still a big issue for me. Of course after surgery it wasn't for a few months but now that I can eat fairly normally it's back with a vengeance. I have to be very vigilant to keep an eye on it. -

Is it working for you
jacileggs replied to dtrujillo67's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was leaning toward the sleeve and decided for bypass also because of gerd. Don't regret any of it. -
Experiences with Phentermine?
jacileggs replied to RellaBelle's topic in GLP-1 & Other Weight Loss Medications (NEW!)
I took it about 17 years ago. Worked amazingly. But then I got pregnant again and divorced and I gained back a huge amount. Finally had surgery this January. No more ups and downs for me. -
