Hi, all! In April 2017 I learned I needed a hip replacement but could not find a surgeon to help me. My BMI is too high making the risk of infection too significant for anyone to consider the procedure. So, after being obese the vast majority of my life, here I am. Time to face the demons.
One of my biggest concerns is failure. My father and his sister both had gastric bypass surgery and both are larger now than before their procedures.
I need to lose (and keep off) 85 lbs to qualify for hip surgery. I've lost 24 of it so far, pre-op. Ideally I'd like to eventually get below 200 lbs.
Surgery is scheduled for 8/7. Today is day 4 of a two week clear liquid diet (which is much harder than expected).

I had a friend that had RNY and never got anywhere near goal and has regained about 1/3 of their loss. They had surgery before I did. I learned from all of their mistakes, and that helped me not make those mistakes and be successful. So think about what they did, what they did wrong and try not to follow in those foot steps.
The things I saw my friend do was, not follow the post-op food steps. Eat the same just smaller (that won't last with time), and fad diet instead of finding a sustainable way of eating for life.

I am thinking of having a sleeve revised into a full bypass. Has anyone had that done? And what we're the results?
-
Are you having problems with your Sleeve? I personally haven't had any revision. But my hubby had his Lap Band for 13 years. It eroded into his liver and it was a mess. He was sick for 9 months with abcesses. Tried again 1 year ago but the scar tissue was amost solid on his right side so they did the Sleeve on him. I had my RNY almost 4 years ago. I have done well. I do hear of others having revisions so maybe someone will read your post. Good Luck

OK so it's been a while since I've been on here. I had a home sleep study November 18th on the 28th they called to tell me I was missing data from my belly belt (meaning it didn't register). I was told to reschedule the test for December 16th. Now I'm sitting waiting for these results to come back. I hope this is the last I hear about a sleep study. I started this journey on September 7th, everything was done by October 16th except the sleep study. I've taken it twice...it's just frustrating to know everyone has cleared and we're just waiting on this study.

Well, I had my last diet visit yesterday and also met with my surgeon and signed the gastric bypass consent form! Time to wait for insurance approval, purchase vitamins and protein shakes/broths, and start getting prepared. I will likely be having surgery some time between February 5 and 16. Due to having surgery in a different city and staying with family for recovery, the only week I would be able to do in January would be the 15th-19th and that would require getting approved within the next 2 weeks, which isn't likely. So.... early February! Between 7 to 8 weeks from now. How did this happen so fast?!

Ok so I Had Gastric Bypass on Monday Sept 24, 2018. The Surgeon said everything went well and that I should be going home the next day. The next day came and by abdomen was so distended I could hardly breath. I was up walking doing everything thing I was suppose to but it was literally the worst feeling ever. My abdomen was as hard as a rock. They kept me an extra day because the bloating was putting me in some pretty intense pain. I felt like I was 10 months pregnant. I guess it was because my intestines had not woken up yet from the anesthesia, to start the process of eliminating all the gas they pumped into me during surgery.
However here I sit at home Sept 27 2018 finally released still feeling full but defiantly not as bad as the previous 3 days.
So I guess my question is. I have had nothing but water and watered down juice for my 3 days in the hospital. How it that I went up almost 5 lbs. Does anybody have any idea Why?
Thanks Faith

At 1.5 years post-op I'm currently going back and forth between 194 and 199. I would still like to lose 25 more pounds.
In hindsight, I should have gotten the bypass. I fight with the fat person in my brain Every. Damn. Day! I am strongly considering a revision for reflux and to make eating sweets a punishment.
I still feel fat, I still hate myself. People are nicer, men touch me 😳 platonically of course, but it still weirds me out. I don't do chips, bread or fries. I do eat ww toast and a taco shell on occasion.
I still have restriction. The bad foods are the slippery ones... but, when you put your mind to it you can eat very little and feel satisfied.
I would do it again in a heartbeat. 💖

Thank you for the update. I'm still on the medication at 9 months out but I find I can go a day in between without it now. My dr thinks I may be able to come off it totally after 2 years post op. It doesn't bother me much being on the meds and he says there is no long term issues with it.
I should have reached out to you sooner. You seemed unhappy last time I messaged you. I wish you felt more positive about where you are. Are you talking to a professional? You've come so far and have done so well that I wonder if you got to your goal weight you would still have concerns.
I would also like to lose 20 or so more pounds and I plan to push to get there but if it crawls back up after I won't let it get to me. I'm 2 weeks away from a breast reduction so I'm going to step up the meal replacement protein shakes and really watch my carbs. Dieting is such a mind game though, every time I try to make a push for weight loss it seems to backfire and I have cravings and eat worse.
Would you consider doing more protein shakes for meals? At least for a bit to jump start weightloss again?

Brain dump and rambling...Here I am 7.5 weeks post op and I am stuck at the same 25lb weight loss that I have had for the last 3.5 weeks. I am feeling down, dejected and frustrated with lack of movement on the scale. I am able to get into a lot of clothes and shoes that were troublesome before so I have had some non-weight related wins, but I am ready to scream about the lack of weight loss. I have upped my calories, lowered my calories, increased my exercising and I am hitting all my numbers for protein. I am still having issues with bathroom visits and vitamins making me feel sick to my stomach. On another note, nothing I eat makes me feel sick other than the aforementioned vitamins, no nausea at all from any foods. I seriously keep asking if I even had the surgery completed because I feel the same. I feel hungry and I FEEL THE SAME as before surgery. I am afraid I am going to be stuck here at 245lbs and not make any more progress. Did I choose the wrong surgery? Should I have done bypass instead of sleeve? Time will tell. Sigh - not a good day for me.

October 31, 2011 was when my new life begin. After the passing of my dad in March 2011, I realized I was an excellent caretaker for him, but not of myself. My weight had ballooned and my health was in trouble. The realization that I had just buried my dad, and if I did not take control of my life, my mom would be burying me. I chose life and had gastric bypass on Halloween last year. My life could not be better. (Ok, so I could have a man in my life, but hey it's very good). My starting weight was 268 size 22 and I wear a size 12 now! Life is good and I am blessed! I don't know what God has in store for the next half of my journey, but I am ready for the ride.

Omg well I got another call from the surgeons office and well he's to going to be back for at least another month. So now they are scheduling the end of November. I asked to switch surgeons again. So now I'm waiting for a call back from the nurse. Uggh I'm so mad that I did everything they asked and now I'm just in limbo. Don't have a surgery date and don't know when I will get one.

I recently watched an episode of Wendy Williams, she had Al Rocker on who had Gastric Bypass. he said he has to take over 17 vitamins for the rest of his life. I honestly dont understand where he came from with that number I take 3 caltrates a day 1 prenatal daily, 1 biotin daily 1 B12 weekly and 1 iorn pill nightly . Does anyone know where he got that number from? 17 vitamin pills a day I'm confused??????
