wow that's great i don't even think mini bypass was an option for me . i initially wanted the sleeve , but my insurance only covered gastric bypass 100% was the mini out of pocket? sometimes i get depressed thinking mine can not be reversed, not that i want to reverse it, its a mind game i play with myself i guess. plus going through the surgery and diet and everything on top of trying to recover my natural testosterone is tough mentally i start thinking i cant eat, i cant drink alcohol, I have no sex drive , but I'm down 50 lbs looking good. its a crazy mind game, I'm mentally tough ill be fine.

thanks

awesome thanks for the advice, i get what your saying. My surgeon is very strict and old school and very cut and dry, but a great surgeon, i can ask someone on his team. my surgeon doesn't believe in lifting weights ever only walking for the rest of your life he told me. and my dietician said yes, you can eventually lift weights again. my surgeon is just strict too strict. men with low testosterone, even if they feel great now if they ever tried trt they would be shocked at how amazing it is. obviously before they had gastric bypass surgery its great. thanks

I quit Testosterone Replacement Therapy, after 2 years on it. I was not on steroids !!!! Its testosterone replacement therapy, it makes a man at 40 years old, feel great, high sex drive, etc.. It is not pills and 5 different steroids going to you stomach. Its one low dosage intermuscular injection per week. I do not drink alcohol, or smoke nicotine. I quit cold turkey, ["weaned off, TRT with very low dosage weekly shot"], 5 weeks before my successfully , gastric bypass surgery , I am still currently off TRT probably forever. I am 40 years old, ex powerlifter. I am currently 6'3" 299 lbs , i lost 48 lbs as of today in 3 weeks. I only choose gastric bypass surgery because my insurance covered it 100%, i knew it was not reversible, going in. I was told I could continue TRT for life 4 weeks after post op. but now I read No NSAIDS and no Steroids , and they are to opposite things ???? because they can? cause ulcers in the new smaller stomach, and around the staple line. That being, said I am prepared to quit TRT forever !!! But I don't understand why ? It makes no sense. I know for a fact my natural testosterone will come back in a few months, being off TRT, I am not worried about that. *****These are some things that I cant understand and it makes no sense to me , during 4 week post operation. ******* NSAIDS is an appreciation for "NONSTEROIDAL anti-inflammatory drugs" but then it says you CANNOT take Steroids' either ????? Can someone please explain to me how that makes sense ? One is NON STEROIDAL and one is STEROIDALl ?????? Now on to the Clomid brand name drug name is clomiphene , it can be taken by men or women, i have read many posts about women using Clomid post operation to get pregnant !!! there doctors said it was fine but , as I did further research Clomid is a NSAID !!!!????? how does that make sense ??? Clomid taken by men post cycle therapy off TRT will help a man boost testosterone 200% i have done it before in the past it works bringing back natural testosterone levels. The Clomid comes in crushable form pills and liquid too, obviously because , after gastric bypass surgery, your body does not absorb medication like it did before. This is a serious post for people who know what they are talking about please respond with personal stories or any knowledge or insight that you have would be appreciated thank you.

Sorry for the long post above lol thanks for your response , in a nutshell I'm just trying to understand how women are allowed to use clomid to become pregnant after gastric bypass ? and its a NSAID ? and i don't understand why testosterone injections of a intermuscular is not allowed ? Non Steroidal and steroidal ?? so non steroidal and steroidal are both not allowed it doesn't make sense. I guess my question is are there any seasoned gastric bypass patients that have done trt with out staple line ulcers? I see you got MINI gastric bypass ?? i never heard of that ? whats the difference between the 2 ?

I received my 1st Covid 19 Moderna vaccine a few weeks before my Gastric Bypass Surgery, my 2nd shot was scheduled for the day before my gastric bypass surgery, so i asked my surgeon and it was a new question he never encountered yet. I told him I am not risking the horrible flu like side affects , because if i showed up and the hospital with a fever and flu like symptoms they would put my surgery on delay. So I cancelled my 2nd shot until a later date, weeks after post op. It was not worth the risk. I personal know people who could not get out of bed for a week after the 2nd Covid 19 shot.
