My surgery was last April I had bypass

2013 was my VSG I was 369 before that surgery I’m 240 now. Over the last year or so my Reflux has been crazy. I am not a huge fan of waking up aspirating at all smh!!! I am scheduled for Hiatal hernia repair, partial gastrectomy and Roux Y Gastrojejunostomy. 4/5/22 I am so very ready to be done with this Reflux :)

I had just turned 46 when I had my surgery. I am no 60+ I told everyone I was having it. I told people because either way, it's not up to them, it's up to you. I am so happy for you and your lifestyle change.

Thank you! How are you doing since your surgery?

Surgery scheduled for April 11th. Going for the sleeve. Wife had her's done 2 years ago and has good success. Our surgeon requires a 4 week Preop diet using only their food. 1 week into that and the hunger pains are a huge challenge.

I know it'll be worth it in the end, but man it's gonna be a struggle.

Good morning, if you really think about, it's not hunger pains, because you are eating, it's an adjustment your body and mind is going through. Once you have the surgery, you'll be eating less anyway, so you'll be fine. Stay encouraged.

Good morning, I noticed that you are at 207lbs, and you are having gastric bypass? Was this something your doctor recommended, or you just wanted? Just asking...

I'm doing fantastic. One has to remember, it's a lifestyle change. This isn't a switch you can just turn on or off. Your stomach will reject certain sugars, and mine rejected peanut oil (Chinese food). Once you dump a few times, you'll know what you can and cannot tolerate. My initial weight loss was 197lbs, but I gained 40lbs back over the 15 years since. I don't like the weight gain, so I went back to the foods I ate when I first had the surgery, and I am staring to get back down.

No bypass, I will be sleeved. Though my doc did recommend the bypass at first. I have a few other health issues I'm dealing with so in the end sleeve was the safer option for me.
