There is no standard of care - some people get a diet - some don’t - some get a litany of pre-tests - some don’t - it’s so different from practice to practice -

you have to be careful with that that's why they tell you to eat first and then wait 30 minutes then drink if you do both if it didn't cause you to have a dump.

That's one of the things they strongly warn against. Drinking with food causes the food to wash through your pouch faster, making you hungry more often, which then causes you to eat more and gain. Most advise not to drink about 30 minutes before through 30 minutes after.

The gold standard RNY bypass guidelines have always been do not drink any liquids when eating your food, defeating the purposes of getting full from eating your Protein first then veggie and fruit. You need the Protein for fuel more when mealtime. You should be getting full on solid food alone and drink 60 minutes after you are done eating.

Did anyone have to take at least one class before there surgery?!?!?? Jeez I know there are a bunch of "mills" out there that just do bypass and dump the patient after a year.... If you have a good surgeon and good Bariatric office you are a lifer... If you go on the Internet and read the gold standard RNY bypass you will read about drinking with meals, dumping syndrome etc...

Why would anyone opt for this surgery if they are going to cheat or go against the guidelines that were specifically made for this procedure.... I have read tons of complications for this procedure in my everyday job caused by careless patients and some caused by surgery. Sorry I'm off my soap box now....

Yes it is !!!! A little scary too I won't lie. My mom had hers 11 months ago and she has been my biggest cheerleader. She said first couple of weeks can be hard but she is here all the way.

      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
