Gastric bypass stoma tightening



Recommended Posts

I had original Bypass in March 2003. Only lost 50lbs. I then opted for the “experimental Stomypx” in 2010 lost 12 lbs. so I just had a Haitian hernia repair on 6/9/21. Along with “tightening my stretched stoma of 4 cm to making it 1 cm. My pouch maintained it size since 2013! Since my stoma opening was to big it bypassed my stomach. It has now caused GERD, hernia… well you know…
My question to all the revised ppl is was the weight loss slower? My surgeon said I will loos60% of my body w excess body weight. Did you lose that? Or less or more? I do feel restriction… but still pretty reluctant I will ever reach an ideal healthy weight.
I went in at 228 6/9
I’m now at 215 4 weeks post r revision

I haven't had revision, but yes, I've heard/read that the weight loss is slower with revisions than it is original surgery.

You have lost 13 pounds in a month! On average with dieting people lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. You have gone beyond that point already. Be encouraged and continue to follow your program. You are inspiring! Please keep posting!

I've lost much more than expected, but it has not been fast weight loss. A couple pounds a month for the past 6 months (more in the beginning months after surgery). My surgeon was very please with my overall weight loss when I saw him at 8 months post-op. The revision has been very, very different from sleeve surgery. I'm hoping that the slower weight loss will result in long term success.

I got a lapband in 09 and lost 87 lbs down to 167, was never able to keep Fluid in the band because of an issue with my esophagus. Had it removed and revised in 2015 to RNY because of precessure on the esophagus from the empty band, I couldn't eat anything healthy--only slider foods. I was up to 178 and lost ..... NOTHING! Dr. warned that it would be slow, but I had no restriction, I have never had dumping and I maintained there until I starting dieting and working out to lose. Down to 163, was thrilled and then PANDEMIC, not working and up to 182, having crazy stomach pains. Found I have an ulcer, treating with PPI hope it works because it hurts to drink Water.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
