feelingfestive Bradenton, FL 57, joined Dec. 2012	I has R&Y Gastric Bypass in 2001. Surgeon couldn't see what he was doing and nicked a couple of internal organs. In a comma for over a month. Finally woke with sepsis, lost my gallbladder, appendix, spleen, and several feet of intestine. Was in hospital 6mths and in hospital bed a year at home after that. Huge open wound in my abdomen for a year and a half and could not eat for that entire time. Had to feed through a tube that went straight into my intestine, finally after a year my wound closed, they could connect my stomach again and I could eat. Lost 100 lbs. Gained a lot back as through time your pouch stretches and you're able to eat more and more. Really rough road for me.

truckdriver007 Bowling Green, KY 59, joined Feb. 2012	I had the bypass done in 1990, was one of the first to have it done. It worked great for about 4 years but you have to do the walking and with my job I did not get as much walking as I should have and over time I gained a big part of my weight back. If you have it done just remember that YOU have to do the walking. It does work.

cupocheer Assumption, IL 68, joined May. 2010	By-pass surgery can be a very beneficial medical procedure for obese persons in being able to lose excessive weight. Walking is not the only activity which one must adher to in keeping any weight gain at bay after this surgery. One must exercise, they must use specific medications/supplements to maintain normal body balances, they must reduce natural sugar intake, and they must control their diet and eating habits. This surgery can be a life-saving procedure, but it is imperative for the one who has had the surgery to be responsible for maintaining their weight at there elected goal. Best of luck to all whom shall have, or will have, this surgical procedure in order to control their weight.

Lost a lot of weight, still working on it. Got in a car accident that set me back with exercise. Hope to be at goal sometime this summer.

peachesk Melbourne, FL 48, joined Feb. 2013	I have the band and did real well. I lost 100 pounds then last year I had horrible health problems and couldn't get to the gym. I gained 60 pounds back and now that I can exercise again I went for a fill and my port has flipped. I have surgery this coming Wednesday to remove the band and I have to wait 3 months for the revision surgery which at that point I will have the sleeve.

rudedogez Clovis, CA 60, joined Feb. 2013	Gastric bypass , I had my bypass done in 2005 and the first year I lost over 100 hundred pounds and was doing fine for about two years then I started having pain all over my body then I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and there is no cure for it and it seems to be getting worse everyday ,but it seems like you had your share of major problems with your surgeries due to doctors mistakes and not informing their patients with enough information before the surgery and what might happen during and after the surgery ,I wish you the best and hope that everything turns out OK for you, talk to you later and by the way my name is Rudy.

jasmi Latrobe, PA 60, joined Jun. 2008	I've known 3 people that had gastric bypass, My sister had hers done when it was still considered experimental. She did well, lost weight and never had any problems from it. The other 2 people had a lot of problems with it, scar tissue and other complications. That is why I will never have it done.

truckdriver007 Bowling Green, KY 59, joined Feb. 2012	Quote from shayleighpeck: Is bariatric surgery the lap band/ gastric bypass? or the surgery where they actually remove the fat & skin from your body? I haven't had surgery, but I don't think lap band/ gastric bypass would work for me. I don't have a calorie consumption problem, I just can't lose weight. This cuts your calorie intake way down, well to almost nothing to bargin with and it also gives you a reason to get up and moving. If you are active and don't have a problem with calories then you should look at what you are eating, 1500 calories of ice cream are different than 1500 calories of green beans. Most likely you are not moving enought. The reason I say that is because I had the bypass done in 1990, lost a lot of weight, did not eat much at all but then I went back to my old job and started gaining weight back. I was just satin there driving down the road and was not , did not, take the time to get out and walk for one to two hours a day. Good luck.

a_bit_feisty Hogansville, GA 50, joined Apr. 2013	My mom had it done in 1981 in columbus, ga and was one of the first. She was 235lbs and is now struggling to keep over 100lbs. She looks like a holocaust victim. She can't keep potassium, iron or any other needed vitamins in her body. Her blood level constantly falls and she's had a couple of transfusions and they don't know why. She lives on phenergan because she's constantly nauseated. She said if she had it to do over again, she'd never have done it. Its good for the first few years but the long term is bad. I know every person is different.

Don't waste your money on something that is very dangerous and if you're not gonna take serious in years to come.

cupocheer Assumption, IL 68, joined May. 2010	Exercise WILL NOT fix the fat stretched skin after massive weight loss. One must have the excess skin removed (doctor will not perform this reconstructive surgery until after 1 year, or more, from the time of the bariatric surgery). And don't forget to schedule breast strap shortening surgery, also. Good luck.
