I was still losing from the sleeve because i was only 5.5 months out. My doctor said it could be 80-100 pounds more from that point.

A lot of pain and discomfort unfortunately. I am returning back to teaching today though. Can't take off any longer.Awww Piper I hope u feel better soon Sent from my Z981 using the BariatricPal App Thank you! It was a lot less painful to have my sleeve surgery.

Just had my revision from sleeve to bypass done on Tuesday. It would be a lot better if I wasn't allergic to narcotic pain medicine!

Had my revision done this afternoon. Exhausted and achy but it's officially done! Sent from my VS995 using the BariatricPal App

I am only 5 months out from gastric sleeve. I go on Tuesday for revision to gastric bypass. I'm very nervous. I had surgery in the summer so I didn't have to miss work (I'm a teacher). Unfortunately, with an hourglass stricture and a pouch above it holding my food, I am throwing up undigested food. I'm freaking out about the recovery. I only plan to take a week off of work because I'm still a newer teacher without a lot of leave. The note my doctor gave me to bring in states 2-6 weeks. Ugh! I had no pain after sleeve. They said it should be a similar recovery. It wasn't for you guys? We need our own forum for sleeve to bypass!!!

They found a stricture in the middle of my stomach this weekend. Because it had been there awhile (despite the fact that I kept having problems and contacting the surgeon), I developed a pouch above it from it stretching to hold the food. Now they're considering more surgery. Anyone out there have anything similar happen? This isn't your normal stricture because it didn't occur where the esophagus joins the stomach. Thanks!!!

I am scheduled for a conversion to bypass on December 16. There is no other option at this time. I will be having the surgery done by a different surgeon as I did not feel comfortable going back to the other one.

My doctor gave me a lot of options but only 2 are practical. To be honest though, I'm really feeling overwhelmed. A part of me says just convert it to be bypass but the other part says, I didn't want that which is why o didn't get it. I need to do some research. Thanks for the information!

@@Pipergurl no problems here, but wanted to respond sorry you have the stricture you called doc a few times about prob he didn't do anything - thought you would be alright?? they are thinking of another surgery? would they change to gastric bypass 2nd surgery would be covered due to your excessive problems?? hope things move a long in the right direction DOS sooner than later when were you sleeved? good luck kathy I'm not quite 4 months out. The doctor has been telling me since I was one month out that it was all in my head. Talk about screwing up on his part. I want to get a second opinion but no one wants to operate except the one who did the surgery. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I use genepro so I don't have protein liquid to include. I'm dragging but keep praying it gets better. Friday I'm going to Virginia and I'm petrified that I'll become dehydrated, 7 hours from home! Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I do. I am 2 weeks and two days today too. My doctor's office said I should be getting at least 40 oz by now. If I don't, I'll get dehydrated and continue to be exhausted. This could be your energy problem. And just because I am saying that's what the tell me, doesn't mean I'm good at it! Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I'm two weeks post op today and having a hard time getting enough water in. I'm dehydrated almost every day and that's making me tired and dizzy. Here's to hoping this week is better!!! Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I use genepro at least once a day. I also drink skim milk and eat ricotta for my protein. I'm only 2 weeks out today. Wednesday I can start trying soft foods as per my surgeon. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I give you so much credit for the camping trip! I don't think I could do that on full liquids without being incredibly jealous of everyone else and end up feeling down. You rock!!! Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

If you order it from GNC, you can return it if you don't like it. I'm finally able to put full scoops in my pudding so between the and my milk, I'm getting 64-70 grams of protein in a day Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

Genepro was the only one I can kinda stomach. I have to do it in half scoops though because anymore than that I can taste. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I tried that but it just didn't appeal to me so instead I add it to my sf pudding and my glasses of milk that I have. I'm on full liquids but am an extremely picky eater so all I eat each day is SF pudding, milk, and water. I'm 8 days out and have to do this for 13 more.HW: 324 SW: 319 (no pre-op diet required, only clear liquids one day prior) CW: 303 6/20/2016 Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App
