August 6th lap band to gastric bypass surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello! New to this forum! I just had a conversion from a Lap-Band to RNY on October 16th. I was released yesterday and had my first night at home. Couple of questions from this newbie, has anyone experienced severe, loud gurgling in their bowels/stomach. Sometime it leads to passing gas, other times I get more than gas with the rumblings. Im wondering if it's a lactose intolerant. I need some feedback. The stomach noises are scaring my children :)

Is there anyone who can give me any feedback with this? It would be great to have support from anyone who is going or has gone through this! Look forward too responses~

Hello! I went band to bypass on 8/11/2014, and it was the best decision of my life. I am 5 months post op and am down 70 lbs! Today I weigh 228 lbs! I am off high blood pressure meds and acid reflux meds. I cannot believe that the 200 lb mark is within reach.

I look forward to reading everyone's stories! God Bless!

Congratulations ForeverFat. I'm with you on the surgery date. I bet I beat you to the 100 pounds lost though. Best of luck with your weight loss journey.

Lol the noises are LOUD and the gas is bad. I blamed it on the poor kitty's until one day I felt so guilty I told my hubby it was me, lol.

22 months later still have the gas. My hubyy calls it gernobile as in nuclear bomb, lol.

At least he still loves me, lol, gas and all.

Keep up the great work.

Kim

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
