Gastric Bypass Sucess Story



Recommended Posts

This past year and a half have bee amazing . It feels good to fit on the Rollercoaster with my daughter. It's great to ride the helicopter with my husband and not worry about the weight limit it's absolutely wonderful to be able to do cardio for a full hour without feeling like I'm about to pass out. This choice was the best choice.

25 months post RNY and 135 lbs gone means I am able to fully participate in life and am no longer controlled by food. I eat healthy and well and if I eat something sweet, Like a thin person, I enjoy a few bites and am satisfied. This is the best thing I could have done. Only wish I had done it years ago!

I am now able to sleep without using bi pap! Woot woot!

I have lost 97 lbs in 7 short months and my stick thin sister n law offered me some of her clothing yesterday. She really believes they would fit me! I said what? You must be crazy, you tiny little clothes will never fit me. I am looking forward to seeing if they will but the most important thing is that others are seeing the significant change to my body.

I can workout for an hour a day and I feel so fantastic afterwards. That is a very cool feeling!

The most important wins are, my diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, reflux and stage 3 kidney disease are all in remission.

RNY stands for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. NSV stands for Non scale Victory, such as smaller clothes, off meds, etc.

      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.
