I just had the sleeve revision to gastric bypass on 6/13/23 and I am a little nervous now after reading a lot of these posts regarding the lack of weight loss.

I recently had the sleeve revision to gastric bypass and I have been going through so many emotions. First, I was really beating myself up about not losing what I thought I "should" be losing. Then I all of a sudden started to feel like my husbands extremely petite new assistant has the hots for him. I read texts... She was just too chummy for my liking but didnt even say anything that bad. Just a lot of LOL's after things that werent funny and asking for favors to fix her boat while she is a cheerleader. He doesnt respond at all the same way and is very short with his answers and they are all professional. And, he is not a cheat. I know that in my heart, but these emotions that I have are making feel worse about myself than ever before. I cry out of nowhere and have fabricated this potentional office romance and can't stop checking the call logs or texts. The one line stands out when he asked her what her jacket size was and her response was "well I am small all the way around but I guess I can take a medium for a jacket". Like just say medium!! I know the way that I am feeling has a lot to do with how I feel about myself and my own insecurities, but I dont know how to stop. Google also doesnt help. I went for my follow-up today, I am 5 weeks out, and she said I was doing great. I asked her if it is common to have these waves of depression and anxiety hit out of nowhere. She said she has seem some patients with the issue and told me to try Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Probiotics Mood+ Acidophilus Probiotic Supplement. She said sometimes with the bypass we are not getting enough serotonin in our systems and this could probably lift my mood. Just wondering if anyone else had any issues like this or if they are taking a supplement with serotonin? I also had a talk about what my expectations were for the surgery and how that could be affecting things. I am beating myself up because I am not seeing things drop as quickly as I thought they would and I am terrified this will be another bariatric sugery failure for me. I didnt realize that the weight loss wouldnt be as quick with a regular bypass before I had it. All of my other health issues seem to be getting better though, except my mental health haha.

Hi Carmen, That is exactly how I feel, just heart broken and sad. What is happening with your skin? I am sorry that you are feeling the same way as I am, but it does make me feel better and a little more normal to hear that I am not alone. When I asked my doc about it she said she has seen "some" patients with this issue, but it didnt sound like too many. She did ask about the vitamin D but my pre-op blood work said it was too high and they told me to stop. I do have a script to get the 3 month blood panel done. You did make me laugh with the baking bread in their mailboxes lol Good luck to you and thank you for sharing your experiences

I just ordered off of amazon and it should be here tomorrow. Hopefully it works and if it does I can update. The one she told me to get was "Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Probiotics Mood+ Acidophilus Probiotic Supplement - Promotes Emotional Well-Being, Relaxation and Digestive Balance - Ashwagandha for Stress Management" It is the one that says 50 billion guaranteed with 16 different strains

Thank you. It was really getting to me and causing me to feel very depressed. I actually went to my doctor today for a follow-up and she says I am doing great. She thinks 5 lbs a month is a good goal for the revision and feels I am on track, it is about the big picture.

That is amazing and gives me hope haha Congratulations. I didnt really lose a lot with the preop diet and leading up to it I treated every meal and glass of wine like they were my last and definitely went way overboard. I put on like 8 lbs and then started the preop. I would be so heart broken if I didnt lose anything. I am going to stick with it though, I just didn't know about the possibility of not losing until reading some of these posts. I didnt know we lose slower either, my doctor never brought that up to me. It is such a weird feeling to no longer feel acid burning 24/7 though. No complaints there 😃

Thank you for your support. So far not getting worse at all but just there and lingering.

Hi all! I had surgery on 6/13 sleeve to bypass revision. I was struggling with the liquid diet and I had some fish (cod & salmon) in small portions but only 10/11 days post op. I feel an aching pain in my left side all of a sudden but am passing stool so I dont think a blockage. I didnt lose any weight on my 2 week marker, I remained the same. Did I damage something? Also having a hard time knowing when I am full. Good luck to everyone out there
