What kind of surgery did you all have and how long has it been for you?

I had gastric bypass on Sept 12, 2011 DVD I am down 95 pounds. I feel great!

I just thought I'd see if anyone on here was close by me. I am in Smithfield Nc, about 40 min east of Raleigh.

I had roux en y on April 3rd of this year. as of Wednesday I have lost 22 lbs since the surgery. My starting weight was 220 and I currently weigh 198. I have been in the hospital the past few days due to severe dehydration. I had strictures in my stomach and esophagus....I had a dilation procedure yesterday to correct it and I should be going home today. I think my weigloss has slowed down because of my not being able to eat or drink. That's awesome abut your results! I can't wait to see results like that!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
