I had sleeve surgery in 2015, 6 months later I stopped losing weight, and felt no restriction. I am still obese and need to lose alot of weight according to several of my Drs. and A1c and other bloodwork. If you've had revision are you happy with RNY. Is it worth another surgery? I have an appt next week to discuss with WL surgeon.

My Dr. is talking going from my sleeve to bypass because my sleeve stopped working at 6 months. I've only lost 65 lbs in a year and a half. Has anyone gone from sleeve to bypass and been happier with the change?

Okay lipsticklady! Seems Ive struck a cord! Are you stalking me? Really you have to comment every couple hours on my post? I get what your saying OVER AND OVER again! Just leave me alone already! And there is a difference between somebody being mean to someone else and someone voiceing the wrong in that! I was voicing the wrong in that! Now Im done with this site and people just like you! Grow up! I don't need your comments day after day comeing at me! You said your view now shut up about it and leave me alone! Funny how when someone stands up for themselves the bullies get sooooo upset! Go get a punching bag to let off your anger and mean streak Ive seen from you not only on my post but others, because Im so done with you!

I'm not saying everyone here is a bully! I'm just saying there are those small few that ruin it! I mean for someone to laugh and say mean things because of the way I worded something and call me dramatic is mean! I was really serious and looking for advice! Most here are very helpful but there are some that are mean with their answers! JUST SAYIN!!

Just to let you Bariatric Bullies know--when someone posts a question here it is because they truly don't know or want constructive criticism! Not to be laughed at or made fun of or be answered condisendingly! Some of us know more than others and that's why we are here! You are not supposed to be a BULLY about it! I for one have been talked down to and literally laughed at for my question about protein!! I was new an knew very little about it and thought I was safe to ask anything here! BOY WAS I WRONG!!! There a quite a few Bariatric Bullies here! Grow up and be an adult already! I wondered why children bully and now I see its adults as well! =

Yes that is true--she does see only the troubled cases, and not the successful cases that out weigh the bad ones. Thank you for that point. I appreciate it! I'm a RN too and getting my sleeve was one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. Your daughter works as a CNA at a hospital? I guess I can see where that would cloud ones perspective on bariatric surgeries. People go to the hospital because they're sick and have problems.. she doesn't see the majority of people who DON'T have issues and are successful with it. She only sees the bad cases, which I'd be willing to bet are only a small percentage of the good ones. If you've done your research, you know that WLS isn't a quick fix. It still requires work and commitment on your part. As with anything, there are potential complications.. but you can look at statistics and make an informed decision as to whether or not surgery is worth the risk to you. I know for me, at least, it definitely was. Like I said.. best decision I've made in a while.

Getting my sleeve in August. I was on a 6 month Dr. supervised diet with my regular Dr. which he tried me on diet pills and exercise and watching what I ate with a food diary, kept track of my weight and Id go in every month. I also had a sleep study done. It was easy, but I felt like I didn't sleep a wink--LOL! Good luck to you!

Welcome and after a lot of research and reading, I finally decided on the sleeve, mainly because of the extended release meds I take, which you cannot take with the bypass. Also felt better not messing with my plumbing, but not against others doing it, it just wasn't right for me. You have lots of time to make an informed decision. Best of luck to you on your new journey to a healthy new you!

N-style id has tons of bracelets and id necklaces and the prices are awesome, I found them after I bought from laurenshope because laurens hope was expensive and I needed to get another id for my hubby.

I was finally approved May 27th!!! I was and am very excited. Yet still a little apprehensive because my 24 year old daughter who is a CNA is against me getting the sleeve! She says she helps patients that have bariatric surgery and its not good. She is trying to be supportive and offered to help me diet another way, But Ive done all the diets out there numerous times. Everyone else is supportive of my decision, but I guess Im dwelling on her feelings about it because she does work as a CNA in a hospital. Ive done so much research and reading about the sleeve and feel I am well informed and not going into this blindly. Just curious about others thoughts on this subject and their family members feelings towards you getting bariatric surgery? But she is scareing me a bit!

Its been 2 weeks since my paperwork has been submitted!! Congrats to you for getting approved so quickly. When I call insurance to check my status they act as if Im bothering them, but I so anxious to be approved, Ugh so annoyed at this point with this process! Happy for you and you getting a surgery date!! Awsome!

My 23 year old daughter is a CNA and she is against me doing the sleeve surgery ! I have done my research and feel very good about my decision to do it. I know its hard when a loved one is not on board, but there are just some decisions as adults we just have to make for ourselves. I know its out of love and concern they have their views. Just know you are doing this for your overall health and continueing to live an overweight lifestyle can be bad for you too. Good luck to you, hope things start looking up for you and your daughter

I was thin most of my life and just started being overweight in my early 40s, (im 45 now), And comeing from both sides as far as thin and FAT--- I can say I prefer thinner, because I can shop for clothes a lot easier and paint my toe nails easier, not sweat as I try on clothes for heavy people, and be just plain as day--- Healthier! Ugh I cannot wait to lose my weight and be happier and healthier

I have a ninja and love it! It will blend all frozen friuts awsomely!!! I use it everyday for fruit / kale smoothies!!! Good luck!

Not that I've found! I tryed everything. I wish there was a delete option!
