Is this a thing? Can you be re-sleeved? I'm just curious...I thought you can only go from being sleeved to a bypass... -
I believe the increased risk of kidney stones from bariatric surgery is in reference to gastric bypass. However obesity by itself is a cause for increased risk of the stones. Not drinking enough Water is considered one of the main causes. If you are diagnosed with a stone, it is advisable to be checked out by a Urologist as the size of the stone is extremely important as to the treatment required. You don't want to put your kidney in jeopardy.

before I had my gastric bypass I drank often. After surgery when I drank again i got drunk much faster. I soon discovered that I was an alcoholic and stopped drinking any alchohol of any kind. I discovered when in alchohol treatment several other people that also had a bypass done. Be careful and be aware when you drink the amts you drink and reasons for drinking. For me food was not my only addiction.

Hi my name is Crista I live in California and I am seriously considering the lapband..Looking for anyone in California that can give me a referal, ever try the laprascopic docs from san Francisco? I am really interested in side effects, danger, and outcome. What do I have to do to get started with the process? Both of my sisters and my mother had gastric bypass. I am not that obese, I have 60-70 pounds to lose~Do you feel the band inside of you? Any replies would be great! Thank You, Crista from California

Does anyone know how long it takes for state health insurance to approve gastric bypass surgery? I go for my second 2 hour long pre-op appointment and I meet my surgeon. Now they are either going to schedule my surgery then get approval from my insurance or get approval from my insurance then schedule my surgery date. I have Vermont state health insurance and they said it could take awhile. Anyone know?

starting pre-op liquids tomorrow, surgery oct 23rd
rachel_b posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
hey everyone, just wanted to write a little bit about what i'm about to go through and how i'm feeling. I told everyone about my surgery but my boss and co-workers, at this point i don't want any negativity so i'm still undecided on when or if i will actually tell them. I felt through this whole journey that i had alot of support but as the days near i'm starting to doubt that. My fiance was not really supportive in my decision because he has heard the horror stories and stories of people constantly being sick and throwing up and i explained how this is hopefully different from the gastric bypass and doesn't have dumping syndrome issues and since then i thought he was pretty supportive. Now, that i'm scheduled to start my full liquids tomorrow, i'm worried that he isn't going to be as supportive as i initially thought. Tonight was my "last dinner" (that sounds so silly) and he came home late after my son and i already ate, gulped his food down and then out the door to take our son to football practice. I'm sitting here so hurt.... like the last dinner i could have with my family for several weeks and it was no big deal to him that he was late.... am i over re-acting because or are these normal emotions? i just feel like now, i'm going to be alone.... help!! -

Had my mind made up that I wanted to get banded. I went to seminar last month and noticed that the surgeon was pushing the gastric bypass. He kept saying that banding is a thing of the past and I will only lose about half of the weight that I want to lose. He suggested over and over and over again that by pass was the way to go. I need everyones comments!!! I really dont want the bypass... too risky with my life and a huge nutrition factor involved with that. Has anyone else heard of this? I insisted on the banding and now am ready to move on to the next step, which I think is the phsych eval... shouldnt have any problems there. Ive been married for 21 years, if Im not crazy by now... I think I will be okay. lol

He has done around 300 now. My Surgeon spent almost a year doing them in Alabama at UNA, also he has done the gastric bypasses in the past as well he is very experience and a good surgeon. As a scrub tech I spent some time in his OR and I know I'm in good hands. -
I have officially joined the "Losers Club" and I am so excited. I was sleeved on November 10 by Dr. Aceves. From the pre-opt diet to now I have lost 11lbs. Wow....Yah for me! Dr. Aceves and his team were wonderful. I still am experiencing some pain and lots and lots of gas. My only struggle is trying to ensure that I am getting all of my fluids in.

* wks after and wearing any bra still hurts
takenote61 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello - here's a doozy for a first post - every since my gastric bypass on June 17, wearing any kind of a bra causes pain at worst, and discomfort at best right above my pouch. And to give bras a break, I also feel discomfort in that area without any bra. I feel ridiculous because the only thing I can tolerate long enough to wear to work is a sleep bra which does nothing for form or shape, only restricts bounce a bit. And by the end of the work day, even that is driving me crazy. In fact, it's the beginning of the work day right now and it is already moving from discomfort to pain. Will this go away? Ever? Not that I'm a fanatical bra wearer but it really makes me feel very unlike a 'normal' person when I should be feeling more like a normal person each day due to the weight loss. Thanks for any help.

OMG ... Surgery tomorrow and I just started Aunt Flo
sophiepants replied to inarakatra's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just lucky enough to get off the day before. My sister in law however had a bypass a month after mine sleeve and was on her period. She had to use pads. They wouldn't let her use a tampon she was not impressed. I suggest bring some of each just incase. But I think they are ready for anything! Good luck tomorrow you'll do great! -
Hi everyone, Just wondering if any of you are 2 or more years post op? I've only heard from people who've recently had the surgery. My gastric bypass is probably going to be early next month. I have just started to get nervous and am really wondering how my life will be years down the road. My mom is having hers on January 8th and I know she has the same nerves about it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

No I had a hysterectomy then bypass 4 months later. If it could have waited they would have done them at the same time. My pain and recovery was about the same with both. Bypass was a little worse but neither bad

tightness in rib cage area
joy59 replied to Vegasurvivor's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Vega I thought I was the only one with this. It does not appear to have anything to do with eating sometimes it happens late in the evening while watching TV. I had a Gastric Bypass about 4 years ago and this just started about 1 year ago. It takes my breath away and sometimes it gets a little scary. Would love to know if I can do something to avoid this. It doesn’t happen all the time but when it does, does not feel good at all.
