For any long term post-op RNY Bypass pts.

Ok. I am now officially frustrated. I had RNY bypass 10/2003. Lost 108 lbs. Was stupid and regained about 70 lbs. before I went back to my surgeon totally embarrassed. We did a revision 9/2008. I've been bouncing between 130-160, but that's not the problem. The problem is that for the past 17 months, I've been vomiting. It wasn't much at first and only copious amounts of very thick mucous, the consistency of Karo syrup. Now it's very frequent and is often food. Averaging every other day; but no real pattern. I can eat 1/2 of a sandwich one day with NO problem. The next day I eat the other half and I heave 1-3 times! Sometimes it's within 30 min. of eating; sometimes it's up to 2 hours later. Conferred with my surgeon and over the past year, had UGI, CT abd/pelvis, abd. X-ray and endoscopy. Finally after 13 months, surgeon thought it was maybe a defect with the anastomosis at the jejuno-jejunostomy. Went in 2/10/15 for laparoscopic revision of that, but it looked fine. So instead, he just took down (loosened up) a LOT of adhesions. Instead of going home the next day, I got an ileus and was in the hospital for 5 days. And I'm STILL vomiting!! 2 days ago, I had another endoscopy. For the most part, I'm paying cash for the surgical interventions. But I'm still vomiting and hurting. I know it happens sometimes when I eat too much or eat too much fatty or fried things. But not ALWAYS. I finally realize that I'm starting to get down about this; and that takes a lot for me. I've done everything I can do medically. I'm trying so hard to be "good". But the symptoms are not consistent. Has anyone else had a similar experience. My surgeon and I and the gastroenterologist are perplexed and after $25,000, I still don't have an answer. Any thoughts, similar stories or words of encouragement would be appreciated. BTW, I'm not even losing a lot of weight from throwing up all the time as the only things that go down are the high carb; high calorie things. Just not fair!!! (lol)

hello! This is my first week researching gastric bypass/sleeve. Can y’all please tell me everything you wish you knew from the start? I have read a lot but I feel like there is going to be some surprising disadvantages and I would like to know now. I think right now I am more interested in the sleeve. Can you please tell me why you chose which one you did? With either procedure are you ever allowed to eat rice again like even after a year? Can you drink alcohol ever again? Thank you in advance

Went to my initial consult with the Bariatric surgeon/ program I chose. Came home with a folder full of information & helpful organization of all the testing that needs to be completed while I complete the required nutritional counseling. She also let me know my insurance typically takes 6 weeks to reply with authorization when submitted, so that puts my potential surgery date near the new year if all stays on track
I felt comfortable with her, in our discussions she agrees that I am a good candidate for the Gastric Bypass. I appreciated the 'introduction' class that was given after the consult with the surgeon where I was given this binder of every referral (from her, not my pcp referrals), & contact information for all the testing needed to make my contacts/calls tomorrow morning even easier
I start my nutrition classes on June 5th, so that's when the clock will start toward insurance approval & getting the tool to help me reach my goals

I am new to bariatric pal and find it a bit overwhelmed .... where to start? I’m deciding between gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, have fatty liver, hyperaldosteronism, hypertension, sleep apnea... I hope to decide this fairly soon and get my surgery scheduled. Glad to be here and getting around a bit. I a 279 and have about 120 lbs to lose as I’m 5’ 7”. Thanks for listening!

15 days until surgery? Congrats! If there is anything I've learned about RNY, its not a miracle cure all. But here's the good news! Prior to surgery I would knock myself out trying to lose weight, with very little results. Now, I work just as hard to lose weight and am rewarded with fantastic weightloss. So, don't think the surgery is going to magically cause the weight to come off. Those whom I observed who think this have very little weightloss. Instead, realize that the surgery changes the playing field, giving you a leg up toward weightloss success, so long as you are still willing to work at it. If so, you will do fabulous. I recommend keeping a log of everything you eat, good and bad, and weigh every single day. By doing this, you will learn much about your body and how food intake affects the sale one way or the other and you will learn the boundaries unique to you and your body alone and what you can and cannot do in order to successfully lose the weight. Best wishes!! 🙂

My ACL revision surgery went great! Surgical center was on point. I did a million things ahead of time (groceries, medication, etc) This time is less painful, better meds and best of all, I have a Cryo Cube. An ice box thing that circulates cold water around my knee to cool it, for pain and swelling. It is the bomb.com! I am not looking forward to PT & it stinks that I am going to lose so much of my summer. Hopefully I can do more stuff, like Tango when this is done. I wish it was WLS surgery, I have to wait until November for that. ($$).

My Bariatric Life before weight loss and plastic surgeries
My Bariatric Life added images to a gallery album in Member Photo Gallery
My Bariatric Life had gastric bypass surgery in July 2003. At that point in her life, she weighed 285 pounds, wore a size 24W, and was on ~10 prescription medications for obesity-related illnesses including diabetes and hypertension. Today My Bariatric Life has a BMI of 23 and wears a size 2 or 4. She is free from hypertension and diabetes and off 9 of 10 of those prescription medications. She owes her life to gastric bypass, plastic surgery, Paleo diet and exercise. -

I "lied" about having surgery for the first time yesterday. I put it in quotes because it was not technically a lie. A volunteer at work, whom I hadn't seen in months, saw me and commented on my weight loss. Then she said, "You didn't have that gastric bypass, did you?" Well, from how she asked, I could tell that she had a negative opinion of surgery, so I just said, "No" (because I didn't have bypass, I had the sleeve... see how sneaky I am?). And then she said, "Oh, thank god... that surgery scares me to death!" I feel bad because I missed an opportunity to educate someone on the facts of WLS, but I have only told a couple people at work and am trying to avoid the judgemental gossip that I know would happen. It may already be happening behind my back, but I'd rather keep it quiet.

5 days in my pre-op diet. Wednesday I will be having a conversion from the sleeve to bypass. I've had a rough go with acid reflux since the sleeve. I have to get my gallbladder removed also because I now have stones. When I started out on my journey I was 275lbs. Since the sleeve back in 2011 my lowest weight has been 223lbs and now I am at 239lbs. I still can't eat much of anything. Please keep me in your prayers as I go thru this one last time.
Good for you on your weight loss !
