* 6 MONTH UPDATE * RNY BYPASS



Recommended Posts

Hey guys hope all is well.

Now I've just hit the 6 months mark since I started my weight loss journey.

It's been an amazing ride that's for sure.

I started my highest weight of 322lbs.

Today I'm 178lbs; that's a 154lbs GONE in 6 months!

Surgery weight was 257lbs so I'm 4 months post surgery as well; 79lbs since surgery day :)

I never thought I would even get to this weight and now I feel great.

bought some new clothes and noticed some girls actually taking notice of me these days it's a great feeling!!

I have been eating more and trying out different foods lately and I can tolerate more these days; actually went out for lunch the other day for the first time since surgery 😀

BMI is now 24 so I'm officially healthy!!!

I'm not quite as strict as I was the first months so I am enjoying trying out new foods to see what I can tolerate as I need to start thinking long term and maintenance!

Thank you to everyone on this site for your support and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have if you're thinking about the RNY bypass surgery.

Take care.

MIKEY

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
