ebonymc 52 Posted August 2, 2015 hello! I weigh 220 right now and had my band removed 12 months ago. I want the sleeve but afraid of the acid reflux that I've heard may accompany it. It was awful with the band. However, I did lose 45 lbs but have regained 15 lbs back. was anyone else a light weight for RNY? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaye21 46 Posted August 2, 2015 I weighed 237 and was revised to bypass 7/15/15. I had very bad acid reflux too and that's why my surgeon didn't recommend the sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

losing_the_band 133 Posted August 3, 2015 I'll be a light-weight when I have my band-to-bypass surgery. I've got a BMI around 36-37. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hubbark1 14 Posted August 4, 2015 The day of surgery (7/31) weighed 207.5. I came home the next day weighing 214. (That was a bummer). This morning I weighed 206.5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anxious2beme 93 Posted August 4, 2015 @Kaye221 - maybe ask how tall you are? I too am 237 at 5'8" and am going for the bypass but meet with surgeon on the 20th. Md recommended bypass because of my heartburn too. They want me to have a scope first too. I was curious how much you have lost since the bypass recently. Thanks much and hope you are healing well ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
