I'm finished having kids, had my tubes tied after last one and was considering having gastric bypass surgery. Has anyone on here had it? If so, are you happy with the results? Any major complications?
My ex MIL had it, and she lost a ton of weight...but then after a year she was eating what she wanted and started to stretch out her new stomach. Also before the surgery she had a nasal drop and it would drain into her new smaller stomach and fill it up and make her sick..TMI I know...but she was actually hospitalized for it!
I had it in 2007...I lost 160 lbs. I did gain about 30 lbs back having had two babies since the surgery. But in five years I think 30 lbs isn't bad. I have a few friends who had it and eat what they want and have gained most of it back. Tyou really have to commit to changing your life style. People say its the easy way out but its far from it. You still have to eat right and maintain the diet. It's tough I still get sick if I eat something too sweet or don't take my time eating. It is harder with kids bc I don't always get time to take time eating. If you have any other questions you can inbox me:)
My sister had it done a 1.5 yrs ago. She has lost 160lbs. She has been at around the same weight now for about 4 months but fluctuates 10 lbs. Also you have to keep up on your vitamins and protein! Some ppl also experience hair loss. My sisters hair thinned out a lot but uses special shampoo a few times a week. If you have any questions feel free to ask! She lives with me so i can easily get answers!
