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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
