RNY ON APPLE SHAPED.....



Recommended Posts

Hello! I would like to hear from anyone that is or know someone else that is/had an apple shaped body. I am in the process of band removal to RNY. I have an apple shaped body meaning that my arms and legs are already thin but my upper body (torso) is very rounded. It is there on the upper body in which I carry my weight. I know I would probably need plastics on the lower abdominal, but can anyone else relate to what I'm saying? will things fall into place?

That is the question.. I would like to know also. I look through youtube videos for someone that looks like me all the time. I don't want to lose nothing on the bottom at all. I have a short torso and look bulky on the top portion. Good luck and let me know if you figure this one out.

I'm apple shaped. I've had four children and at five months post op, I still carry most of my weight in my tummy area. My arms, too, actually. I will absolutely need a Tummy Tuck or at least panni in the future.

Hello im new here and will be having a gastric band revision on October 29th. I am currently on day 3 of my 2 week pre OP diet. I'm wondering how long your revision surgeries took and how long were you in the Hospital afterwards? Also what was the pain like post OP? Thank you

Well, I was told if you have a large gall bladder scar, then you can not have a full TT. So I know that I'll need a panni and upper arms done. I'm in my late fifties so I need it done like yesterday... LOL. But I am an active person and still want the body that I haven't had since I was fifteen.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
