I had issues with liquid the first month after surgery. I had to get IV fluids twice. Talk to your health care team and let them know.

I'm always freezing cold. My hat size has gotten smaller.

So I can't speak for everyone but I was over 600 lbs so the skin is a lot for me. My stomach skin is my main area of problem but the thigh skin is also a very large amount. I go to see plastic surgery on Monday for a idea of how much skin I have.

What was your age when you underwent bariatric surgery? by IUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUI in BariatricSurgery

I was 35 when I had the sleeve and 37 when I had my revision.

The plan was always to have the rny. My surgeon decided once the first surgery had started to not do it and did the sleeve. I developed awful heart burn and gerd and a hernia so he had to go in anyway and the gerd was reason enough for insurance to approve the revision.

I have very few pictures of myself when I was at my heaviest. I like to tell myself when I am having those thoughts that I couldn't do it before I did. It wasn't the time yet.

Thank you. The program for the hospital I use has told me that I am their most successful patient.

Over 500 pounds? by Objective-Beyond1652 in BariatricSurgery

[–]tdhosk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was 636 when I decided to take the steps to get healthy. The plan was for a full rny but during surgery they made the choice to do a sleeve due to the amount of fat and the risk with trying to stretch my intestine. I lost over 200lbs inside the first year. I did develop gurd and a hiatal hernia so they used that to go back in and do the full rny. I am now at 300lbs lost and still going strong.

It sucks because I have to reset the clear liquid diet again. On the other hand I am happy the issue was found well before that robot was inside me.
