Hello, I'm getting the SIPS procedure as a revision from my gastric sleeve. It’s a fairly new procedure compared to other weight loss surgeries. Has anyone gotten this procedure, if so, Pls share your progress and experience 😊

Hi! I had my SIPS surgery about 2 and a half weeks ago at Blossom Bariatrics in Las Vegas. They specialize in helping out of state patients and the whole thing from consultation, meeting with the dietician, EGD, pre-op/post op checks are included in 5 days and you get to go home. The only thing not included was the care companion which I had to pay additional for to help me after my surgery. The care companion is optional and if you have someone who can go with you and take care of you after surgery then you don’t need that. I went alone and everything was included in the price quote plus hotel, transportation, surgery etc.

hope this helps. If you have more questions just let me know

I had my SADI—S 6 months ago. I started out at 393 pounds. I was 368 on surgery day, and as of today I am 269. My surgery went great but I did experience nausea and some vomiting the first few days and had to stay in the hospital 3 nights. After that, recovery was a breeze and I barely had any pain. My scars are pretty small and have already faded a lot.
Most importantly, I feel amazing. I am hoping to get under 200 pounds.
I love the restriction from the sleeve part of my stomach. My biggest problem was always Portion Control and it's wonderful to feel satisfied with such a small amount of food. I am so happy I chose this surgery. I would do again without question!
I'll be glad to answer any questions you have!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
