I started the process my BMI is 49.9 and done research and fully understand it is a lifestyle change. In pursuit of a healthy life and mentally ready and prepared.

****This is False Information**** In the Medical Journals Database it is easy to find both, empirical and evidence-based medical data about the medicine absorption changes patients can experience after gastric bypass.

Thank you!!!

I was going to get bariatric surgery in 2010 but I backed up 3 times and was already in the process of getting my surgery done I wasn’t obese that’s why I backed up on my surgery day i was really young and I was this close to getting into the process I did the process of bariatric surgery like 3 times I even did the classes, the testing and etc, but till this day my dr still offers me bariatric surgery and weight loss injections ‘ I did my research about bariatric surgery, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass for many years now 😌

I have body aches now and am doing the gastric sleeve My appointment is for October Am a bit nervous and scare But honestly I don’t want no more lower back pain or knee pain Tanks for sharing your story ❤❤

I get runny nose from certain foods. Sometimes first cup of coffee in morning. Definitely not just having to do with being full

I stated with dumping síndrome after a colonoscopy was done a week ago,I had bariatric surgery three months ago but I regret to have done the colonoscopy cause two days later I started having pain in my my left side of my stomach I went to my primary doctor he said is dumping but I think is something else the pain is not going away I waiting for the bariatric surgeon to give me an appointment to see if he going to do the endoscopy because CT Scan is already done nothing found the pain is horrible is like if have broken rib

How do I know if I qualify

Dr Proctor, I had the gastric bypass in 2001, and I want to get it revised with the duodenal switch. I have a tiny pouch , I don’t have the sleeve , would I still be able to get it done.

I've had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in 2003 is sadi for me. Or just the TORe

Thank you, I thought it was allergies...

Yes this help

Would taking a PPI (Nexium) daily help for sleeve-related acid reflux? Is that an option or does it have to go straight to another surgery?

Can the 64 ozs include caffeinated beverages? Thank you!

2 years out from Gastric Sleeve. Protein and hydration, Fiber all very aware of the need, trying to Gerd meds to see if that cures this very physical intense hunger I have almost daily. Is it hormones? Can I have Leptin levels checked? It’s definitely not head hunger, it’s a strong physical hunger that does not subside with proteins, soups, any food really. Help!

Zoloft tablets post op bypass gives me extreme nausea and vomiting.. no issues prior surgery 😢

Great accent! I only get sick these days if I overeat or eat something that my stomach can no longer handle ... so I only blame myself.

1 week after gastric bypass surgery I developed a pain on the upper right side on stomach. What is this?

😊

Don't let anything stop you from gastric beariatric surgery. Don't wait and think the blood pressure medication and diabetic medication and insulin is just my way of life. Sleep apnea is no fun but ill just deal with it. If your on disability there is a way to get it paid for. If you need a new car the surgery is not as expensive as a moderate equipped new car. I am retired and 67 years old i have medicare part a and b. And a supplement. Insurance has been paying 100 percent. I have lost total 80 lbs since august 2023. And it is may 2024.No more blood pressure medication no more diabetic medication and insulin. I walk 4 miles a day and in August i will get a sleep study to see if i still need the c-pap. I had a total 11 different doctors and every health system was checked. I wish i would of had the surgery the first time my body mass index went over 40. About 25 years ago.

I always wanted to become a bariatric surgeon for a long time now 😫

I’m 15 months out and I’m still losing hair 😢. Doing everything right yet it doesn’t stop

This was very helpful. I'm getting back on my journey. I'm on day seven of seven of my pre-op liquid diet because I wanted to help train my stomach again to do the right things so this video is really helpful for my next steps because I'm kind of confused on what to do since today is my last day of liquids.😊

Very true I'm 10 days out from gastric sleeve surgery. Weight loss many times in my 67 years. Always got to a weight and my body stopped me from further loss. I'm glad to say I am 20 lbs below that stop Weight but it took gastric sleeve surgery to get past. Being retired and dedicated my time to exercise intermittent fasting and weighing food and fluids. Not to mention the 12 different doctors and pre surgery exams. And dieticians. If your serious about weight reduction it's not just a phone call to a reputable organization there's thousands of dollars involved in professional care. I Lost 55 lbs on my own with dieticians guidance. I don't regret a thing now I Lost 20 lbs in 10 days after sleeve surgery. That is a loss of 75 lbs in 9 months. I am totally prepared for a possible weight stall as I start purred food in less than a week but I am walking 3 miles ever other day and not setting on my butt waiting for the lbs. To disappear. You can't be low energy and lazy and find a excuse. That's what having a professional organization on your side sometime prodding you to get with your goals. My surgeon will be satisfied if I loose another 50 lbs. I have a year of potential weight loss per historical stats. I no longer take blood pressure medicine or any diabetes medication including insulin. At one time I took 20 different medications and now I'm down to 4 and potential reduction after my cardiologist appointment in a week. I have been on a c-pap. For severe sleep apnea for 12 years. I'm having a sleep study later this year to change settings or stop using it. My testosterone level is increasing and I'm able to function sexually as being a man. Loosing 75 lbs changed my life and giving me a second chance at a healthy life.

You're so beautiful!!

i have the opposite issue.. I had a VSG ( sleeve ) 8 years ago and the morning i was put under for my surgery is the last time I felt anything even close to hunger.. I can go 24 hours and never give a thought to eating.. my hunger just vanished.... i know there is a honeymoon phase that lasts 6 month-2 years but mine never seemed to end.

are the minimum bmi/comorbidity thresholds generally the same for the duodenal switches' vs gastric bypass/sleeves?

Nice explanation sir ❤

Its my week 3 after gastric sleeve and my weight is stucked what to do i am worried

Eating CARBS makes me crazy HUNGRY!!!. If I do protein, ground nuts, and vegetables, I feel fuller.

Very intresting learn something ebery dAy😮🎉

Dump who or whay😅

Did dr Procter iam a bit confused doing lap dance In the operating theater

So informative.

I had to figure out the difference between mind hunger and real hunger and thirst . It was a task and is still an everyday struggle for me. I am a decade out. If you don’t deal with the mind hunger you won’t be successful. Soup helped me round out hunger in the beginning.

GERD can be due to technique as well, and an MD did confirm this to me. I am told that where the incisions are made and avoiding certain landmarks of the stomach, Angle of his, etc etc...can be very important. I Would have had the surgery, but there is NO way for me to confirm the type of technique my surgeon uses. GERD can be due to other reasons of course, but technique is a factor.

I appreciate your explanation. Excellent!

Unanticipated bonus of gastric sleeve: I saved money on my electric bill because I turned up my thermostat.

I lost weight but after 10 years l gain it back

I'm 8 years out... Only lost 20 pounds with VSG!!

I had a sleeve gastrectomy back in 2019, with no issues of bad reflux or heartburn until recently, after a kidney transplant. Apparently, it’s a side effect of one of my anti-rejection medications. I take protonix twice daily, and it eases it, but it doesn’t eliminate it. I wish there was a solution that didn’t involve another surgery.

I’m 19 months and haven’t lost any more weight since 6 months. I feel like I’ve failed.

3 months out of duodenal switch and my lower belly like around my belly button just feels numb to the touch. What does that mean???

I'm about to have surgery in 3 months so everything that you are put on video is helping me to learn more about the surgery thank you so much for taking the time out to do this videos

I’m two years out and the last six months I have lost so much hair. I take my bariatric vitamins.
