9 weeks Post Op progress pictures!

[Moorekat 78]

H​ello Everyone! I just wanted to share my before and now progress photos and a little bit about my journey so far! I am about 9 weeks post-op. I am 5'3 and my starting weight was 243. I currently weigh 203. I am feeling a lot better already! I no longer have high blood pressure and I'm no longer pre-diabetic. I also have not had any issues with my Acid Reflux since surgery. Everything is much easier to do already! I felt like I was losing weight slowly. Maybe it was because I had a 3 week stall but, I'm averaging more than 4 lbs. a week loss even with that! That's not too shabby! It's true what they say. You can lose inches without losing weight! I have lost over 4 feet of inches from all over my body! I cannot wait to see what the future brings! Now that food is not controlling my life, I feel this can be done and I can actually go all the way! The surgery was not easy but the surgery has made it do-able for me! What goes up, Must come down! Ha,Ha! Finally!

Fantastic for nine weeks!

What made you choose bypass over sleeve?

[Moorekat 78]

@ Glene Davison, I have Barrett's Esophagus caused by Gerd. My surgeon said in doing the Bypass, it would solve my Acid Reflux issues! Which it totally has. I went in thinking the Sleeve is what I would get. He said the Sleeve would make my Acid Reflux worse where the Bypass would get rid of it! He really pushed me toward Bypass so I did it!

I too have had reflux issues my whole life. I was also thinking of the sleeve but from everything I've read it seems bypass is the way to go. How are you doing now? I'm about 70 pounds overweight, just wondering with bypass what happens when you lose all that you need?
