Pictures... Before and after only 5 months out

[mmy 62]

Ok so those are my pictures before and after... They're almost 5 months apart. Had my MGB April 30th and the other picture taken September 29th.. I'm happy with where I reached. Being able to wear nice clothes and still look good in them... I just hope I can maintain my weight and not lose more than few kilos

Mmy why did you have a MGB over a sleeve and/or RnY? Just curious.

I did not!! Where did you get that info from... I was supposed to get a sleeve but my doctor convinced me into a MGB... Never had a surgery before

I think they meant why did you choose the MGB rather than the sleeve or a rny bypass? What was your reasoning?

Well i went for a sleeve initially and 2 hours before my surgery my doctor talked me out of a sleeve and into a MGB. I liked the fact that it's reversible but every other information he gave me about MGB turned out not to be true and now I'm stuck with it regretting it and trying to figure out what to do next..

He said there is less risk of bleeding and leakage with MGB compared to sleeve. Which was true yet I had major bleeding issue after the surgery.. he said its reversible which I'm not sure of because some doctors now say it is and some say it's not!

He said MGB is not associated with more malabsorption compared to RNY and sleeve .. and there is no need for life long supplementation and the only people that require life long supplementation are those who had a dueodenal switch. Obviously I came to know that that's not true!

He said MGB causes a weight loss of around 60% of excess body weight which is the same as sleeve but has a better long term maintenance.. the first part wasn't true as I came to find out that MGB causes more weight loss than sleeve and RNY

He did not tell me of the fact that I will no longer be able to absorb iron!

Last but not least I started off with a BMI of 33.. now almost 6 months out I'm at a BMI of 23.9 and weigh 56 kg. I need to stop my weight loss but I'm struggling with that.. I am following up with a new doctor now and might need either a revision or a reversal soon!

Thanks for the info. I'm not too informed of the mgb. Do you have to take Vitamins for life?
