Bypass instead of sleeve



Recommended Posts

I had intended on getting the sleeve but after my scope we decided on full bypass. I am still very excited and nervous but can't wait till the day i can buy normal size clothes and have more energy.

Why did you decide on bypass -- what did the scope show? (if you don't mind sharing...) -- I'm still trying to decide between sleeve and bypass -- thanks!

Scope found small non cancerous nodule thats getting removed next week just for precaution but my bi op showed severe acid damage to lining of stomach. So my doc said with the reflux issues the sleeve could cause me worse issues with more reflux,nausea and possibly vomiting. I trust him very well so i said ok lets do it lol

Well had a long talk with my doc today and the risk of my nodule returning later on down the road my options now are having the sleve and staying on omeprazole or getting full by pass and him removing the remaining stomach since i will need yearly scopes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
