Anyone Had Gastric Bypass Then A Redo?



Recommended Posts

hi im interested in hearing from anyone who has had gastric bypass surgery and had to go in for a redo ..

i had gastric bypass in 2004 and my starting weight was 493lb and got down to 260lb and i kept it off for 6 years.

but due to a disc prolapse and upcomming knee surgery and heart issues ive put on almost 60lb again .

i saw my surgeon last week and he has put me back on the waiting list for a gastric bypass redo

or for the gastric sleve (whichever he decides to do).

im told i will only be waiting about 12 weeks for this surgery and i am very scared as i have heard it is high risk surgery..

.so id like to hear from anyone who has had the redo and if they had any problems with it...

i had no problems with the first gastric bypass other than needing to be on Iron and B12 injections...

thanx from debz

I had the sleeve done in 2010. I had a couple of surgeries soon after the sleeve that slowed down my wt. loss only got down about 70 lbs. I'm going to have the bypass done on 9/17/12. I'm very nervous but at the same time excited. I will try my best to keep u updated to my progress.

      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.
