That's awesome man. Reason I bumped this is because I'm going in tomorrow morning for my RNY bypass. Was just looking for info, and figured I'd see how you were making out,hehe. I have actually lost 40lbs pre-op in 3 months, and my goal is to lose another 80. 365SW/323.8CW/240GW

good luck on that. My surgery can't be compared though, different technique. With a bypass there are much more difficulties and complications, diet wise. You will always have to avoid certain food while I can eat anything, just small portions. And I can't eat fat fastfood 3 days in a row as I will get the runs, but I never liked fastfood 3 days in a row anyway.

And what exactly did you have?

BTW, i rather not be "able to eat anything", like you say you can.. At that stage, whats the point?

Don Fernando 09-13-2011 04:24 PM

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 
I had a Duodenal Switch.

the point is that I eat way way less, and that everything I eat is filtered due to the surgery. The point? I can eat anything I like and still lose weight. It doesn't have any negative effects on my social life, as I am able to go out to dinner with friends and dates (just skip the appetiser, eat the small steak, leave the site dishes and skip desert instead of eating everything). Friends who had the gastric bypass are more limited in their options than I am, that's why I went for the Duodenal Switch, even though it included 2 surgeries instead of one.

i dont want my social life to be based around food and dinner parties anymore..

Don Fernando 09-14-2011 05:06 AM

Re: so I recieved a couple of pm's
 
my social life isn't based on it, but it is nice to be able to go to a dinner party every now and then, or have a business lunch/dinner on occassion. Or take a date out to dinner and not have her be uncomfortable because you can't eat anything.

Health just hit a bump this weekend. I fainted sunday, without a warning whatsoever. Went to see the doc, my blood pressure is low and he wanted me to see a cardiologist. The cardiologist noticed a low heart rate after doing an ecg, so I'm scheduled for more tests.
