my reflux was so bad i would wake up with acid everyday in my mouth. my sleeve was never right from the start. i could never est anything solid. i had bypass, the surgery was tough but wasnt horrible. i was really weak after surgery so i was in the hospital for 4 days. since the bypass in september i have had no reflux and heartburn twice. i can eat basically what i want so im very happy

actually, many docs wont do the sleeve if you have bad reflux. i can tell you that since i had bypass i have had heart burn twice...nothing that I would even call reflux. i used to be on protonix but havent taken it since the bypass. they also do the barium swallow to see how bad the reflux is

well i had the same thing...band in 2008...sleeve in 2010. i had a tummy tuck in 2011 and i had bypass in 2013. i was down to a size 8. i initially lost about 5 lbs with bypass but now ive gained 10 lbs and im struggling to get down to my pre-bypass weight.

i had severe reflux with the sleeve and had bypass in september. i was concerned also about losing too much weight and that hasnt happened at all to me

i ha the bands, was revised to the sleeve and now the bypass. with the sleeve, i had severe reflux and vomited many times a day. that is all gone ive had some other issues with intermittent abdominal pain that they are working on now. but it is still better than what i experienced with the sleeve

i buy my calcium through them

it was my 2nd revision also. the healing went well. i was very weak after, i was in the hospital 4 days but after that everything went well. it took about 6 months to get my energy levels back

i had problems with tuna after my bypass

i use flinstones vitamins (thats what my doctor recommends) and i get my calcium from bariatric advantage and i also take over the counter iron

i wont lie. the RNY was rough. i ended staying in the hospital 4 days. i was very weak after. but it got better fast. i went back to work in 4 weeks

actually i was revised from vsg to bypass and i had the concern and i have not lost much weight since the RNY but my reflux is gone!

well i have had a complicated journey. i had the band in 2008. in 2010 the band slipped and i had the sleeve done. after the sleeve it was pure agony. i vomited basically everyday and had awful reflux. in september i had RNY done...it solved those problems, ive had a few issues since but not as bad as those. i needed to have my gall bladder out. that was done and i cont to have intermittent abdominal pain. the pain is severe but doesnt last long. my surgeon thinks i may have an internal hernia. he wants me to have a diagnostic laparoscopy to rule this out. i am so much better since the RNY

i had my rny sept 19th but i wont lose too much. this was done due to a complication from the sleeve. ive lost 10 lbs and would love to lose 5 more.

i had my gall bladder out december 7th. honestly the gas was worse before having my gall bladder out but im still having episodes of abdominal pain...not sure whats causing that

well i spoke too soon...the gas is back,,,like a long lost friend,,,NOT!!!!!

omg...cant nelieve i found this thread....i had RNY in september and i had so much gas, i couldnt believe it. i never knew a person could have so much gas. well in december, i had my gall bladder out and now no gas! i dont know if it will come back or not

i had my gall bladder out on the 7th...im still having pain....its kind of random, the dr said it was cuz the gall bladder was attached to my liver and he had to use the cautery to detach it. it seems i get the pain at night. last night i was vomiting with the pain....now im starting with pain again...this is so frustrating

im not nauseated...alot of discomfort today. i think i waited too long to take the pain med. im glad its out cuz you are right you never know when it will act up!

i am really sore today. yes it was easier than rny but still painful. i guess i would say the pain is moderate today

i had my gall bladder out yesterday. much easier than the rny

i seem to be eating more...having some nausea and abdominal pain, but im having my gall bladder out this week

same here

that doesnt sound tight that you cant have a TT if you have had your gall bladder out. costs for a TT will vary by where you live. my ps originally quoted me 4500 if i was all self pay, but my insurance co did cover the panni, so i ended up paying around 3000

i was banded march 2008 and revised to a sleeve in 2010. i lost a total of 100 lbs and had a TT in may and they took 6.1 lbs of skin. prior to my TT i wore size 10-12 and now i wear 4-8, depending on where i shop

i have been a nurse for 27 yes, i was banded in 2008 and revised to a sleeve in 2010. i lost a total of 105lbs and last month had a TT which removed about 6 additinal lbs
