mhcastellow 16 Posted August 16, 2013 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! 5 Ammariehs mommy, life_after_gastric_bypass, karlam29 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pjb84 1 Posted August 17, 2013 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) Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mhcastellow 16 Posted August 18, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhcastellow 16 Posted August 18, 2013 Congratulations! Your results are awesome! What kind of exercises are you doing to rebuild your muscles? 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
