I too was on board with getting the sleeve. However, I have severe GERD. I take two meds for it twice a day and they still don't help it. My surgeon wouldn't even consider doing the sleeve on me. Sure, I was upset that I couldn't get the sleeve, but I want to get rid of this terrible heartburn. I am scheduled to have the RNY on June 25th. I thought I would be excited about being thinner, but I am happier about getting rid of this reflux. Skinny is a bonus. Good luck on your journey!!!
I was in the same boat and I have not had one episode of acid reflux sense my RNY on March 3rd plus I have lose 45 lbs. good luck with your surgery

I had bad gerd prior to gastric bypass . When I talked to my surgeon he suggested the bypass because the sleeve tends to make acid reflux worse. I did go with my surgeons suggestion sense after my surgery I have not had reflux . I would consider the bypass . It will make you a heathy person .

I am having laparoscopic gastric bypass. I am a teacher and am hoping to teach summer school, 6 hours a day, only 3 with kids, then 3 hours in meetings, only 4 days a week. Can I only take one week off after surgery? Would this be doable?
I think everyone is different . I have been off since surgery That was March 3rd . I've been sick with eating food now I might have kidney stones . It will be up to your dr and your body .

Hey! They told me it's "normal" to have more pain on left If they did laparoscopic. But Today when I went to sit down I got a sharp intense pain on my RIGHT around rib cage area. I had been doing fine too! I called and waiting for the dr to call back....
Probably lifted too much.

I broke the stall! Woo! Down two lbs. good thing I didn't give up. However, I did workout too much and hurt my stomach so it's pretty sore now :/ I tried to jog...ugh! Just are puréed egg beaters with some cheese and turkey. Unfortunatly the turkey I used was kinda spicy- tummy Didn't like. Usually it sits well! I got a "farberware" single serve blender/processor and love it!
What kind of workout are you doing ?

Awesome I am still the same . Just started on puree foods yesterday. Such a different filling in side. I have tried tuna and about an hr after after I eat my abdomen hurts. Gonna try different food. And see if that helps.

I was scared to try new foods as well . I am now 18 days post op by the time I was able to eat the soft foods I wanted food . It is so good . The Protein Shakes and my body did not agree all the time. My surgeon prefers me to eat Protein the. Drink . Unless I can't tolerate food . It will get easier .

Tonight is my second night in the hospital and I am hurting. The built up gas in my belly mixed with the pain of the incisions is very uncomfortable. I haven't been hungry nor thirsty, although I am drinking sips of Water now. I started walking the hallway only 2 hours after surgery. How long before this gas passes? How long before people start to feel better?
Mine lasted the entire day I woke up the third day feeling almost normal just sore the best thing for the gas is just to walk a lot .

It depends in you your dr. I had some issues when eating food . Developed an ulcer . I been having testing done to see why I develop pain when eating and vomiting . If no issues 2-3 weeks sounds good . I planned 3 and ended up 8 weeks going nm in May 12th.
