i had gastric bypass surgery 4 1/2 yrs ago started at 402 now at 145 am at stable weight best decision i have ever made
Hi Teresa,
Congratulations on the weight loss! I’m considering the bypass myself. Can you share your experience a little if you don’t mind.
I am seriously considering this surgery. I’ve already met with my doctor. I’m 38 years old and 301 pounds.
@@travisricks3436 same, currently going through the pre op requirements before getting a surgery date. Very nervous but excited to move past this phase!
@@sharmenl196 good luck to you!! I’m nervous too. Not about the surgery, but about after the surgery what my life will be like.
@@travisricks3436 thank you! Going through the exact same thing, not so scared of the surgery but the recovery and life after.
I had RNY at 5'9 and 320. Im remaining at about 165-178 for years (did have a tummy tuck and breast lift if matters) all done in 2009. Now we KNOW more. I had the "Cadillac of surgeons" at the time good at it and no bedside manner - I had friends and didnt need a new one. Both parents had and both regain and not me. But ANEMIA (iron deficiency). I was told to take "Flintstones" at the time. Im sure at this point I am well on my way to death. Not because Im suffering but from lack of knowledge at the time and direvtly after. im grateful for my health I do have. Im avtive and slim enough I dont hurt. But the anemia issues can and DO become debilitating. Ive already had many infusion but STILL am honestly feeling I complain about success in surgery but KNOW this isnt great... somewhere. In Houston, Tx any recommendations for even where to start looking to get the most recent research, testing and supplement that is truly needed this far out? Even others (not poster) please tell! Ill seek it! I know I don't feel 40 and "healthy" despite appearance...
Please address the likelihood of hyperinsulinism that results from this surgery. I had my gastric bypass in 1993 and I am dealing with it to the point of it being very problematic. I would still do the surgery again because I know what gave me a second chance at life, but I wish that I had known about this risk when I had the surgery. In all honesty I don't believe that the medical community was aware at that time either. My blood sugar has crashed to a lowest point of 20 while I was at home. Fortunately my husband was here with me because I may have lapsed into a seizure at that point. I could not even medicate myself with glucose tabs to bring my blood sugar up because I was shaking so badly. I average about two episodes a week with blood sugar readings that range anywhere from 20 to 45. My regular blood sugar reading levels at between 70 and 80 most days. It doesn't matter whether I cheat and eat sweets that day or not. When it happens it happens, and most days I can feel it coming on but sometimes I can't and those are the times that scare me the most.
I had a Roux-en-Y bypass that has been a nightmare now. Bleeding ulcers, non absorption or minerals and nutrients, fatigue and worst of all incredible pain.
I am having this done on 11/21/2023. I’m nervous.
What about the mini gastric bypass surgery? What are your thoughts on that one
I'm having this done due to my acid reflux and my surgeon believes this will help me in the future with my weight as having mental health issues I put on weight and he believes this will help I'm so scared but I know I'll be ok
How does this affect someone's energy levels?
Is it possible to have gastric bypass surgery, after bariatric which was made 13 yaers ago but patient stil gained weight .
Is there a revision to the roux en y?
Did u get an answer ?? From somewhere
I had my surgery March 2014. Does the unused stomach and tube leading to the old intestines get removed with this surgery does it remain inside of your abdomen?
It stays. They explain the reason on other videos, but it stays.
I have mild Gastroparesis, severe acid reflux and a failed nissen fundoplication. Surgeon recommended I get this type of gastric bypass. My problem is really the reflux that's really bothering me... killing me slowly even. Would this surgery fix it? How much acid is there left in that small stomach pouch that's left and would it not just continue to go back up?
I was actually wondering the same thing
I was in your same boat. I’m 9 days post RNY and happy to say NO REFLUX! It’s GONE!!
@@superuchic3153 I was in the same situation with severe reflux, Barrett’s esophagus, gastritis and esophagitis. I’m 9 days post op and NO REFLUX!
Does this effect a person whose had 2 c-sections and has lots of scar tissue. I didn’t get gastro paresis til after I had vertical c-sections. I think this I what my doctor is going to suggest and I really don’t want this 😢
I’m on the same boat, considering the RnY for that reason mainly. It’s making my life a living hell, can’t eat, sleep, be active. I hope the rny helped you, please share your experience.
