Looking for April peeps for RNY (Bypass)



Recommended Posts

Mercy! I am about 36hrs away from surgery time. Getting majorly freaked out and beside myself.

I am 2 days post op and I came home yesterday. Key is to walk as soon as u feel like you can. Really wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
The time I felt really nervous was when I was being put to sleep but the next thing I knew I was in the recovery area.

Good luck with everything, you'll be fine.

April 18th here, I'm having a sleeve gastric bypass. I started my pre-op diet on Thursday and in five days I've lost 10 lbs. My pre-op diet is full liquid, but does consist of two shakes a day for meals.

You will! I have faith that anyone who follows the drs directions will loose what they want. I am still very sore can't wait to be able to go for walks again and then start working out after that I'm so excited for this part of my life and can't wait until this is all feeling normal to me and not like just another diet lol...it's a whole new life and we all deserve to be happy and healthy! If anyone has any questions about surgery at all no matter how "silly" feel free to inbox me cuz I know how I felt not knowing anyone who was just ahead of me I had so many questions :)

Good luck to you! Are you having difficulty with acids? Is that why your having the changeover? I'm scheduled the 26th. Wanted the sleeve this whole time till they found damage from acids

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
