volsfan17 1 Posted September 11, 2017 Hey there folks. My name is Will. I'm 35 years old and In 2015 I had the gastric bypass sleeve. I have not lost the weight with that that I wanted to or hoped to. I have contacted a surgeon in my TN area and am going to the pre surgery seminar tomorrow night. Then I have my appt with the head nurse and surgeon on Friday. I'm hoping that he will say I can qualify for the bypass. I'm not happy with my current situation. I'm having stomache pain and discomfort and a lot of diarrhea. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated Thanks Will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michelle Ery 29 Posted September 11, 2017 Hi from NC, i had lap band to RNY bypass 14 days ago. I'm here if you have any questions. I had lots of complications with my lap band and vomited daily. The RNY bypass is way different so far. No issues or complications yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if this is even the thing for me to do Do you know why your experiencing stomach pain. Do you have a lot of weight to lose. Requirements were similar to when I had lap band in 2011.
