4 1/2 months post-op

[mhcastellow 16]

I never thought it would actually happen. I am 4 1/2 months post-op and have lost 97 pounds. I still have 40 pounds to go. It's all about rebuilding muscle. Best decision I ever made. Have a great weekend!

Mhcastellow,

Hi! I'm new to this forum.

Originally I was thinking about the sleeve surgery. Now I'm not sure if I shouldn't go for the RNY.

What made you chose the,Bypass over the sleeve. (i don't have diabetes but I do have alot of weight to lose)

Congratulations! Your results are awesome! What kind of exercises are you doing to rebuild your muscles?

Hi, my decision was easy. I had GERD so severely I wasn't a candidate for the sleeve. I have also lost more weight going with the RNY. I had a great surgeon and have been blessed with few problems. Best of luck with your journey!

I kayak a lot so that helps, but I'm also doing weight training. I have a ways to go on the rebuild, but I'm happy. I also do a lot of walking.
