Revised from the VSG to the Bypass

[Titaniumsleeved2014 42]

Hello, everyone I'm new to the gastric bypass forum.... Long story short I had a few terrible complications with the sleeve that I received May 2014 and was just revised to the bypass March 16th. So I'm four days post-op and have some many questions and would really love some input and support.....

Hi! And welcome! My advice is to follow the instructions provided by your surgeon and nutritionist. When you start eating real food eat very slowly, don't drink at all before or after eating and start walking today! You will do great!

Congratulations! I hope that you are recovering well.

I had the bypass in sept. 2014. It took me awhile but I just reached my goal having lost 146lbs.

I would be happy to share my experience and I can help with questions.

You can either message me directly or simply post your questions here. There are many of us on this site that can likely help.

Hey, @@aelovelady & @@Djmohr I'm losing between 1-3lbs a day since surgery and I'm keeping diarrhea should I be concerned.....

Hi! It is still early, I wouldn't be concerned about weight loss at this point, but diarrhea seems unusual. I would check with your doctor or nurse, I wouldn't let it go too long, stay hydrated. Keep us posted!

Diarrhea is very common while on the clear fluids and full liquid fluids stage. Once you start puréed Constipation is very likely.

I also would not worry about the weight loss. The first month or two works like that and then everything slows down to about 10lbs per month.

It's funny because people assume when they go from losing that 1lb or more a day to 1-3 lbs per week, they think they are stalled. A stall is no weight loss whatsoever in 10 days or more.

Congratulations!
