Before / After Gastric Bypass Surgery Pictures



Recommended Posts

My name is Angel. I want to have the Rny done. There are a lot of complications for me to have it done. I have primary pulmonary arterial hyperestion for which there is no cure. The pic I put up is me weighing in at my most 452 I'm down to 372 on my own I have to be @ 350 before they would discuss it any further. ALMOST THERE thank the Good Lord. If anyone can give me any pointers it would be great. Ty

That is so awesome Angel. This pre-op weight will REALLY help in motivating you post-op, at least from what I hear from folks who have had the bypass. I had to lose some too for the band and I haven't been told to lose additional for the bypass schedule July 9. I'm hoping too lose at least about 10 lbs before surgery to help jump-start and get me more motivated. Your story (and the others on here) are definitely helping me stay focused. How did you lose your weight so far - protein/low carb/portion control/exercise? Bottom line - you are doing so well!!!!!!!!! I'm sure your surgeon and medical staff will be super excited too.

This is me at 372. I really just been eating a lot of salads and trying to be more active. I need to have a total knee replacement as well. But I can feel a lot of difference in my knee since I have lost weight. It's hard being as active as I WANT to be. Because of the PAH but I give it all I have. Now that I've found this I have support from those who UNDERSTAND! Weight problems. TY all for being here for me and being with me at the beginning pre. surgery. Ty a lot .

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! So awesome. thanks for sharing :)

Here are some of mine. My revision band-to-RNY is schedule for July 9. Liquid-only starts June 25. I'm super excited and this social networking support site has been SO helpful. Thanks to you all.

pre-Lapband (2008 = 365ish)

around op day band (318ish) - - lost weight pre-surgery as part of the insurance requirement.....which was a good jump start!

post-band (lowest 2010 = 270ish)

pre-revision band-to-RNY (May 2012 Now 318ish)...I just keep reminding myself that at least I haven't gained what I lost pre-band! :)

I'll post some pics BEFORE surgery on July 9. I'm hoping to lose some weight before then...and I'm assuming the glorious liquid diet will help ;)

Your a good looking guy "Shhhh don't tell my hubby" lolz... I can see the difference you even look younger now.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
