Revision completed
Tracyringo replied to Tracyringo's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Revisions are different for everyone. I had a lot of anxiety afterwards because of not having restriction like I had with the sleeve. It has taken me a long while to finally get use to it. Part of that anxiety was me thinking I would have problems with regain because of not having the restriction. I dump and get violently ill from eating wrong thing or too much food, so I am very careful now. You will lose the weight just make sure you follow the plan like you did with VSG. I was at goal with my revision but I lost 12 lbs the first month. I weighed in on Dr scale yesterday at 157. I am down 23 lbs and holding. I will say this. It is a lot easier for me to maintain my weight now then with the VSG and I stay 10 to 15 lbs lower then with VSG. Good luck and PM me anytime -

8 months and 3 days post op. Weight holding steady between 158 and 162 for several months now. I still have Gerd and am on same PPI before surgery. No problems with foods as long as I stay away from the things that make me dump violently🤢. Also I have to be minded about the amount or I will get violently ill too. -
sleeve in 2010 now revision to RNY due to complications
Tracyringo replied to 5boys1girl forme's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Sorry you are having all the issues. I would imagine you will lose the first 2 weeks but bounce back after that. I am able to eat more with the RNY then I did with the sleeve and progressed to soft foods at one week post op. Good luck to you !! -
Revision from VSG to BP
Tracyringo replied to Glorious Release's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I was told to expect at least 20 lbs and I lost 25lbs. I have a friend who revised after not losing all of her weight with VSG and she went on to lose 70lbs I think. As long as you follow the plan after surgery you will lose the weight. Good luck to you !! -

They have kicked the guy off. The comments made were back in June. Good Luck on your journey ! -
After I had the sleeve I would get hot flashes every time I drank coffee with creamer. I am wondering if it is something you are eating or drinking causing it? If not that maybe you are menopausing ?

Feeling the guilt
Tracyringo replied to Horseshowmom's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
- I agree with @novaLuna dont beat yourself up. During weight loss phase I didnt track on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I ate what I wanted and yes I felt guilty but honestly those were the only times I ate off plan aside from my nieces wedding that first year and I still hit my goal that first year. Be kind to yourself and good luck on your journey ! -

I have dumping syndrome and it’s awful
Tracyringo replied to Joce1523's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I have horrible dumping too !!! I am aware of what causes it and I try to be as careful as possible. it usually lasts 2 hours and 1 time it went on for 4 hours. I stay away from certain foods and try to be mindful of how much I eat. -
RNY because of GERD, not weight loss?
Tracyringo replied to AmandaQB's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had a revision on May 23 2020 due to gerd that caused erosive esophagitis D. 6 months later it has gone down to A which is great. I still have burning and am going to have the bravo test soon to find out why I am still producing so much acid since I am still taking 60mg Dexilant, pepcid at night, and carafette. -
You are still early out so I doubt its re gain. Fluctuations of a few lbs are normal during weight loss. Your menstrual cycle, body holding water, ect have a lot to do with those fluctuations . Exercise is only 10% of weight loss is what I have read and I myself did not exercise to lose my weight because of my lower back. Sticking to your plan will get you to the weight you want to be at. Good luck

I am a food addict. And Bypass isn't a cure.
Tracyringo replied to MaybeMeow2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dont forget my favorite CUPCAKES !!! I can have a few bites after a protein meal and be okay. -
Worried that doctor made my pouch too big?
Tracyringo replied to Coexister's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I am the exact same way !!! I dont get the signal either until its too late. I had to start measuring food again because I can eat more with this bypass and it gets me into trouble with feeling like crap afterwards. I have to lay down and I cant throw up either so I suffer too. The sleeve was easier for me because it felt more natural. I knew when to stop. I am sure you will have no problem reaching your goal and more then likely you will go under 145 !! Best of luck -

GREAT NEWS !!!! I had my EGD this morning and I have went from esophagitis grade D to grade A !!!! I am healing and I dont have ulcers !!! Bad news the meds didnt knock me out and I was awake this time !!! Groggy but awake. They said my vitals were dropping and could not give me anymore medication. I went in with a 47 heart rate to begin with and my blood pressure is always low too ...........I dont know what it dropped down to for them to not give me more meds to put me out. They are sending me to the hospital next time to do an acid test since I am still burning and this time they will knock me out ! -

Congrats !!! The recovery time was better I thought with the revision. The pain was worse though after surgery. Glad you are doing well and getting all your protein needs met. -
Diet from program includes bread for breakfast and lunch anyone else
Tracyringo replied to NewWorldMe's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
There is no way a WLS patient 8 weeks out can eat 2 pieces of bread in a sitting and I highly doubt they could eat even 1 piece without getting sick. Be careful and good luck to you. -
They call Greek yogurt full liquids and cottage cheese, scrambled eggs are soft and you will only be able to have 1 or 2 bites and be full. If you are not comfortable eating those things then wait .

3 months post op. Anxiety, head hunger and insomnia.
Tracyringo replied to perfektlynrml's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Same here but in my case I go through days where I have no interest in food and it balances out. -
Healthy versions of junk food
Tracyringo replied to BigSue's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
If you have not reached goal you may be asking for trouble. Watch out for the daily protein bar some WLS patients get addicted to them like candy. They are loaded with calories. I see you are only 4 months out these foods you are considering are dangerous in their own right and in my opinion you would be best to eat them only on occasion until you reach your goal. Just because they say its good for you doesnt mean it is. Good luck ! -
Worried that doctor made my pouch too big?
Tracyringo replied to Coexister's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Are you revising because of reflux, weight gain, or both? Not having restriction wont keep you from losing weight if that is what you are worried about. In fact I lost 12 lbs the first month after revision and weighed 180 at the time. In 2017 I weighed 296 the day of VSG surgery and only lost 14 lbs. You wont overeat because you will get sick and if you dump that is just as bad. ( at least it is for me lol ) I get violently ill and can lasts a few hours. Once it lasted 4 hours. Good luck to you ! -

Yes and I had bad anxiety over all the changes and the things that were happening at the time. I would say by 4 to 6 weeks I was okay as far as tiredness. What do you think about it so far versus the sleeve ? Are you eating solids? Dr. Edwards let me move quickly and at 1 week I was eating soft food. Wendy wasnt too happy if I remember correctly but they moved me the same way when I had VSG so I wasnt to concerned and did fine.
