Here's my before and after 100+ pounds...love the loss, hate the complications 3 years later.

What surgery did you have?

What complications, may I ask?

P.S. your arms are Amazing!

Thanks for the compliment on my arms...it's funny though, I think that's my worst feature, lots of excess skin...I think that might have just been great photography! Lol! Anyways my complications are almost too many to list: large hematoma with drain tube one week after sleeve surgery, severe reflux and GERD, 3 strictures with dilations, 2 hiatal hernias needing surgery, a myelotomy surgery, revision to bypass surgery, central line put in for TPN, then finally 2 weeks ago a jejunostomy feeding tube put in for nutrition. Whew!

So you had complications with both the bypass and sleeve...

Yes ma'am I certainly have...double trouble for sure! Still awaiting one more surgery to stretch my stomach once I'm healthy enough again to go thru surgery. Not looking forward to that one at all!

You look great, but complications like what? And 3 years later? Really?

I'm so sorry to hear that. It sounds like a nightmare.

Good luck!

I sure hope everything works out for the best this time.

It's so scary to hear this, I just got sleeved 11/11/15.

Having some problems but mine sounds pretty petty and minimal compared to yours .

I too have a problem with acid reflux sometimes and had to go to ER Sunday night because I was dehydrated from vomiting after trying to mix the Greek Triple Zero yogurt with my carton of Premier Protein shake. And I mixed it with my little ninja like blender and it has a lot of bubbles afterwards and I think that's what starts it. I feel a rabid dog foaming at the mouth and my throat tries to close up. Second time, so that's it for me , never again.

Good luck though, I pray it gets so much better.

Yes, girl, whew...brings back memories! Just concentrate on eating the yogurt when you're able to and just drink those Protein shakes continuously...I still do for my protein! What do you take for your reflux? I take Dexilant 60mg and it's great for me and does much better than any other over the counter or prescription that I've ever tried. I'm sure your sleeve will work for you and you'll do great! Just keep doing what the dr says and never stray! ????????

I had my surgery last Monday 11/16/2015

The picture one the right is from the day before 11/15/2015 and the picture on the left is from yesterday 11/24/2015

This first week has not been easy, I was almost regretting my decision and when I look at this picture I feel better. I've lost 20 pounds in 9 days!
