Did you start out with exercise, are you still doing it? When did weight loss slow down.

So you must be struggling, or is there another reason you think you should have had the bypass (acid reflux?)?

Are you considering a revision now?

Two or so days after surgery I was on the treadmill. 0.1 miles the first day, 0.2 the second, 0.3 the third. I just kept adding more. After 7-10 days I started ab work, again very slowly. I still exercise & was on the treadmill this morning. I'm a U.S. Army veteran & being able to move again is one of the best parts of this for me.

The weight loss slowed down, stopped, & reversed direction the more alcohol I drank. Proud to say I haven't had any alcohol in more than 10 weeks.

I definitely have acid reflux. There are lots of acidic foods I enjoy. Champagne, beer, & even fizzy Water like La Croix "repeat" on me. Being a stomach sleeper doesn't help.

I'm passively considering a revision, not actively. I reserve the right to change that answer though!

Friends, I've done some things very right for me like exercising, joining this forum, & quitting alcohol.

But I've also done some things very wrong for me like drinking too much, eating too much occasionally, & not seeking support when I needed it.

I hope this thread is helpful to you.
