Viking 0424, That's awesome but scary fast. WTG and I agree with Mikey very impressive. Good luck with your journey, Allie

Mousecat88, Awesome results. Any tips for those of us who are waiting approval for the RNY?? Allie in SC

Mikey, Seems like men always lose weight faster than we women do. Great goal time frame. Have a great day. Allie

Your doing great. Any pound is a great loss remember none of us got where we are overnight. Even if you lose 2 lbs a week in a year that's 104 lbs.lost.Look at the big picture. Allie

Thanks for the advice. True story I am a jalopy at this point working on being a speed racer. Lol

Hey, I am so glad to see someone who has been through it and did great through the same surgery I soon hope to be going through. I am waiting for approval from the insurance companies to get the surgery done. My reflux is so much worse than when I got the sleeve surgery 0ct of 2016. I am not pleased seeing the Dr.say because of age and it being a revision surgery we will lose weight slowly. I am almost 64 .So I have to get in gear and get some of this weight off before surgery. But congratulations on your success. Allie

Hey , I had severe reflux before my sleeve in October 2016.After surgery only 6 weeks of relief from the reflux and then it was way worse than before to the point of taking 10 pills a day instead of 2. I am currently waiting for approval from my insurance companies for the RNY revision surgery and was just diagnosed with barrett's esophagus due to the reflux getting soooooo much worse. I can't wait to get the surgery done and praying for approval. Congratulations on your journey and your surgery appointment. Keep updating us on your progress. Oh i did lose 87 lbs the first year but gained 22 back. Still fighting to get the extra back off. Allie in SC

Hey momof2, I had sleeve done 2 1/2 years ago I was worried about coming out of recovery in excruciating pain but I wasn't. It was incredibly easy for me and I was walking around the halls within 2 hrs.No major issues at all. I could of stayed 3 days because I have 2 insurance companies but i went home by 2pm the next day. No problem getting up and down from my bed. You'll do fine. Good luck with your journey and i will look forward to your updates. Allie in SC Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey you guys, I am absolutely miserable with my reflux getting soooooo much worse than it was before sleeve surgery and apparentlyhappens a lot with the sleeve. I was told that it would totally get rid of the reflux. That only lasted 6 wks and when food actually got added back to my diet it has gotten so bad. I am in process of getting approved for the RNY revision from my 2 insurance companies due to the fact that it's gotten so bad that I have just been diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus due to the reflux. Good luck with your surgery's. I'm more concerned about this surgery than the first one but it has got to be done. Allie in SC Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok so my EGD results are positive for not only Reflux which I have had since 1987 but new diagnosis is I now have Barrett's esophagus due to the reflux being so bad. Prayers for insurance companies approval for RNY. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah I haven't been able to exercise at all since my surgery due to other health issues. So exercise is a great way to tone up the skin. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey you're not alone at all. Also not your fault. My gastrointestinal doctor should of been consulted before my surgeon decided sleeve was best for me. Right after I had the sleeve surgery my gastrointestinal doctor said I should of had the RNY. I have gone from 40 mg twice a day of Zegrid with Bicarb to now I take that plus zantac 300 mg twice a day, Carafate 4 xs a day and zofran for nausea. Just diagnosed with barrett's esophagus due to the GERD being so bad. I constantly feel sick because of my Reflux. I am sick of feeling like crap too. Good luck with your new doctor.
