My Bypass Story

[MinaKai 2]

Hello everyone. I'll get straight to the point, I never wanted a bypass but i got a botched gastric sleeve surgery and was unable to eat and drink for nearly 3 months. My only option to was having a gastric bypass-it was a necessary revision surgery if I ever wanted to eat or drink again. I'm nearly three weeks out and having a very hard time. I was eating ok two weeks out then all of a sudden i started becoming nauseous and losing my appetite. I have a Gtube and a jp drain tube in-jp comes out Wednesday thank God. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the fact some things I'll never be able to eat again. It saddens me. I would really love to meet someone in the Toledo or Michigan area to buddy up with, or someone i can talk to that's been through or that's going through the same. What foods work for.you what doesn't, etc. thanks in advance

I wish only but the best for you. It will all work out in the end it just might take some time. Hang in there and keep fighting. I know there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel but there always is. It just might take a little longer than wanted to get there. Even though I haven't had my surgery yet I am here for support if you need it. Stay strong!

Thanks a lot. I came here hoping to connect with other bypassers to help me get through this and everyone has been so nice. I'm still having such a hard time adjusting, but it gets a little better everyday. I get my last jp tube out tomorrow and the g tube out next week. I think once these tubes are out, it will make a world of difference in how I feel. I'm also able to hold things down a little better, I'm 3 weeks out and still trying to figure out what to eat that won't make me sick or dump.

Welcome!

Well, they didn't take the drains out. The doctor said there seems to be an infection, he put me on antibiotics and if all goes well, the jp tube will come out next wed and the feeding tube the week after so everything has been pushed a week out. I was so disappointed I cried right there in front of the doctor. He said if he took it out now, I could end up being admitted.

Stay strong you are doing you part and the Dr is doing his just look forward to next Wed. I'm praying for you it going to all come together
