Yeah I've been perusing the bypass forums, and they're dead. I can't find one crazy lunatic over there. They must all be in hibernation.

I like the new site for 1 reason, I spent almost a year on VST before becoming a traitor and getting RNY lol now I dont have to flip back and forth to keep up on everything lol not that I have made a lot of friends but I do enjoy the personalities on the sleeve forum :)

O btw the band has never ever been a thought for me :)

We have several former sleevers that converted to RnY and stick around on the sleeve forum.

I asked for them to please stay because their stories are important.. So post away girlie :)

We only like them cause they dump and we don't. :P

Then you'll love me cuz I'm the queen of dumping. One of the lucky few. (Seriously, NOBODY. Dumps....I dump off everything carbish.)

If your looking for RNY drama, look up the threads 'negativity' and 'the count down begins for boob job'. Those are the last 2 really stupid moments I remember. Sometimes you just have to step back and think WTF???

Everyone has to decide themselves but they should talk to revision patients. Band 10 years of struggles and still being obese. Sleeve only 2 years but much much better tool. I think many surgeons are backing away from band.

      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. 🤞
