Thank you for this video I am 6 weeks post op and was worried about my 20 lbs weight loss but I also realized this is 22% of my excess weight so I’m ok. I gotta kick it up a notch with my exercise 😊
Soon 3,5 months postop, did gastric bypass. Have lost 26 kg totally and now have a bmi that is 28.7 instead of over 38. Main reason for my surgery was my bad sleep apnea and high blood preassure. My blood preassure is now normal, but still too early to know how it goes with my sleep apnea. My wish is be good enough so I don't need a cpap machine. I feel much better in my body and it have changed a lot. Just had a 3 months stall for almost a week, but yesterday the scale moved down again. So don't be afraid if you get stall. Check messaurments instead! If they change it's just a normal phase after surgery. And remember, it's not a quick fix. Right now I have a weight I haven't had since around 2000, so I am happy!
All of these surgeries are meant to be used as TOOLS . Not a miracle fix. It still takes mental strength and self determination to follow the Dr plan, and lose the rest of the weight on your own. Use the Tool, but don’t mistake the tool for the final project … it takes work and the willingness to change our lifestyles, this is an jump start, not a fix all. Well wishes of success and good health to all ❤
My Husband is 6'2" and he has been prepping to have surgery with a physician. He currently weighs 289 and has been losing about a pound a week on his own in preparation for surgery whenever the insurance company approves him. The doctor recommended VSG but I was thinking the switch would be a better option. Should we get a second opinion with another provider?
Hi, based on your husbands BMI (37.1) , we agree with the surgeon who recommended the gastric sleeve. The duodenal switch will result in significant weight loss, likely more than your husband needs to lose. That is why we reserve the DS for patients with a BMI of 50+.
We recommend talking with your bariatric surgeon who will recommend the best operation for your health. Here is a video comparing the different bariatric procedures: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hsIeACfAGMo.html
@@maryjaveed150 I am now 132 pounds 2 years out holding steady. My heaviest weight was 22st 8 pounds I’m now below 9 and a half. I lost everything I had to lose to be honest.
@@MsGlamazon you are doing great. I have 180 pounds and I am going for RNY. Any severe complications after RNY? After how many days I feel good to go on work?
@@LiveHealthyMD i had the bypass revision with a hiatal hernia repair on the 8th lost 5 pounds today and all ive been doing is resting and walking the house
@@jennyhamilton535 I'm going to be going through the same thing. How much additional weight did you need to lose after your sleeve, and how much more did you lose after your bypass?
@@gaylekarr5318 I lost 100 pounds but last July ended up needing the bypass revision and I lost 155 total and no more acid reflux anymore I had severe damage in my throat and sleeve the surgery saved me from severe complications in the future
