Band revised to sleeve revised to bypass! Please help
Hellie replied to jamiep5's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
@@jamiep5 Ok so I'm not crazy. I have only lost 14 lbs since surgery (5/16) and my doc said I need to watch my calories. I was like what?!? I eat like a bird, if that. Anyways, I am happy I'm not dropping too much weight too soon. I've gone back to eating regularly but watching my bad habits. Also I have ZERO reflux! So all in all I'm not regretting my decision to finally agree to the bypass. Happy to hear you are doing better after all your complications. -

Hi there! I am in the same boat! I am just so exhausted. I feel like a toddler that needs a break for nap time. My doc said it was expected to be tired the first 3 mths. With that being said I try to keep my protein intake up and started with my B12 injs immediately after my post op f/u. Good luck! -

@@jamiep5 I understand your concern. Your story is very similar to mine. I just had my sleeve (done in 2010) revised to the bypass and I was 190lbs. I was terrified of dumping, rapid weight loss, and severe vitamin deficiency. I just had my bypass on 5/16/14 and I am doing well as far as food tolerance. I don't know if it's my sleeve helped with that. I am scared to hinder weight loss because I've already done the whole food progression before and I know what hurts and what doesn't. Lmk how yours is going! -
Sleeve revision to gastric bypass tomorrow

Hi@lulugirl. I just had a revision from the sleeve to a bypass on 5/16. I too chose to do another surgery because of my horrid reflux. Are you 122 lbs now? Are you nervous about excessive wight loss? What were you told by your surgeon? I look forward to hearing from you!
