Gastric bypass twice?



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm new to this site and was looking to see if there's anyone else thinking of getting the gastric bypass a second time? I'm 3 years out and have gained about half my weight back. Is it safe to do it twice ? I would appreciate it if anyone knew anyone who has done it twice and what was the outcome ... Thanks

My 32 year old daughter had a rounY done 12 years ago and gained back about 75% back .. My surgeon told her the pouch is not stretched as much as she thought! She just stopped eating like she should of . She began back on the food plan the day I had mine ( nov 18) and she is losing it right along with me. With all the Protein and fluids she is never hungry.. Just like before . Try doing it like you know.... Hope this helps

I've gained 40 lbs of the 100 I lost. I had my pouch check and they have confirmed that it has stretched so I spoke to my surgeon and he recommended a revision bypass where he goes in and make the pouch the same size it was before but I don't know if that is that best option. I'm never hungry I actually can't eat more than 1 leg of chicken at a time I just eat potato chips all day it's the only thing that doesn't make me sick ... would you do it again if your pouch stretched ?

My mom just had the rny done for the second time, nine years later. (same surgeon) She gained back about 50% of the weight she had lost and stretched out her pouch. She just had the second surgery three weeks ago and already she is drinking soda. I'm scared for her.

I'm not sure of a lot of statistics with revision but I do recall some info about the 5 day pouch test which is supposed to help get you back on track. Good luck!

Wow, does she know the carbonation in soda stretches the pouch. I hag RUN back in 2001, I had sutures left inside and developed a hiatal hernia so they did revision and I'm 3 weeks out and having lots of left side pain still and tired of liquids. But I stopped soda back in 2001

      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.
