Hi. I am having gastric bypass on August 31st. I weight 178 and am 5'7". Anyone start out this low. I really don't want to loose too much weight. I have to get the surgery due to complications from the sleeve and lap-band.

Are they doing it do to acid issues?

I had my revision from band to bypass due to complications last may.... my weight was 198 but I'm only 5'2 so not as lite weight as you . I don't think you'll have trouble losing too much. The revision is slow go and seems to drop off way before you get too thin in my experience . I've lost 49 lbs in 14 months and still have about 14 to go and the weight loss is around 1 lb a month lol . You'll be glad to have the bypass ... your gonna feel so good after living with complications from the band / sleeve

Hi DonnaMaria,

I am a band to sleeve to RNY. This is over the span of 14 years. My band prolapsed and caused me lots of issues. Then the sleeve in 2008. That lasted 9 years but I should have never been sleeved due to chronic GERD and hernia. So hopefully third time is the charm. I am starting at a higher BMI though and I am 5 foot 5 so I have more to lose than you do. Is your revision due to GERD? Just curious.. Usually revisions are slower weight loss. I am not seeing this so far . Dropped 13 pound in 2 weeks, but of course this won't last. Not sure what to say but good luck!!

Hi. Thanks for all your responses. I had band from sleeve last February. My bypass revision is not due to reflux but a plethora of other problems.

Band from sleeve? Plethora?

Can I ask what the other problems are? Most of the time folks revise from the sleeve to the bypass due to reflux/GERD.

Again not sure what your other problems are, but know sometimes the bypass can make something's worse. I hope you have researched this revision well to make sure you don't end up with more issues. Best of luck.
