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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
