I'm turning 21 too

And yeah she got the bypass! Sometimes I wish I got the sleeve -.-

[steveelea 61]

Oh wow what date is your Birthday??

Did her surgeon recommend bypass?

From memory you said she had a lap band and that had slipped or something??

Maybe it had damaged her stomach too much to have the sleeve??

[nerms 237]

March 25th!

Yeah she had a band that eroded into her stomach and there was a lot of scar tissue so another band wasnt a good idea. The surgeon dr Ian michell didn't want to do a sleeve because he said he didn't know enough about it long term and recommended the bypass because he does a lot of them.

[nerms 237]

There was a woman on the same day as my mum that got the bypass and she was crying for cake and screaming wanting to know why she wasn't allowed to eat anything. It was very strange because it was like she didn't even know she was getting weight loss surgery.. I hope she's ok and didn't go home and eat a cake or something

[steveelea 61]

Was she just out of anesthetic?? I know people can say and do weird things when coming out of anesthetic

Every surgeon is different to what they prefer and what they are comfortable with.

I know with the sleeve they do say you can gain weight again if you are not careful as you can gradually eat more and more and sort of stretch your stomach again.

Not sure about bypass??

[nerms 237]

I've seen a few tv shows with failed bypasses, failed sleeves, failed bands.. Any weight loss surgery you can gain weight if you aren't careful. That's why I hate when people say only 10kgs???! Hahaha yes and I've worked for hard for that!

She was awake for an extra day and the whole 4 days was asking for food, and she actually ate something and the nurses were freaking out, I'm not sure what she ate. And her son was begging the nurses to give her chocolate milk in clear fluids phase and they did... I dunno just seemed unprofessional

[steveelea 61]

So strange for someone to go through that surgery then cry for food all that time.

And yes weightloss surgery is not a cure or a quick fix its a helpful tool.....you still have to work bloody hard and hey 10kg is a huge amount!!!!

Hey guys......Happy New Year to you all

I have been away and only just gotten home....wish I was still away but there you go and back to reality

@@nerms LOVE the tatt....just gorgeous!!!!

Way to go losing over the Summer break

@@Bellarose100 So excited for you to finally have your date....not long now.

I haven't lost anything at all so I am a bit disappointed but not surprised.

I think that I drank a lot of calories and wasn't as active.

Being away you eat a lot of foods that you don't at home and way too many carbs so at least I haven't gained.

Better get moving again to get this weight off as I don't like stalling.

I can't remember if I mentioned it but I have a new job starting when the kids go back to school

Starting at Subwey....so excited for this year

I haven't been out to work for the longest time and we so desperately need the money so looking forward to it

Welcome back hun happy new year!!

Congratulations on your job, exciting times ahead!! ????

Yeah! Crazy world we live in.

Some people were saying that one can go in to get say a cyst removed near the intestines and the surgery won't go as planned and they wake up with a bypass. Not as extreme as the normal one, but still pretty extreme to wake up finding that out.

I'd say it would sound like that scenario is spot on, but she was talking to my mum and she knew she was getting the surgery but didn't know that she wasn't allowed to eat. I'm assuming one of her kids really wanted her to get the surgery and translated whatever the surgeon said a bit differently so that she would get it.

How is everyone doing? No weight loss for me so far, disappointing but definitely expected. Had a gain and got back down to 78 point something so that's a start.

I'm in Warrnambool at my mums eating better food and feeling a lot better. I'm off to Sydney at the start of feb and Turkey in April. Gotta get a move on!!!
