I had gastric bypass 15 years ago and was told this was a malabsorptive surgery. Maybe the research on this issue is better now? I'm relieved if that is the case. I believe having this surgery saved me from a future of diabetes , joint pain and a shortened life. I went from 318 lbs to 150 lbs and finally fall into the "normal" range for my weight.
Decided on GB almost two years ago. I went on Keto when I could start eating those types of foods. I had amazing results and no major complications. Lost 140lbs the first year and have been able to maintain it. I have been lifting and gained a decent amount of muscle as well. Life is good.
An excellent synopsis, thank you. I was already feeling fairly comfortable after watching many many testimonials, but this video has put me almost completely at ease. As a non-smoker with no history of ulcers, surgery on the stomach, and with PCOS insulin sensitivity - I feel confident that choosing RNY bypass is the right one for me. I am excited for my surgery date and wish all those who are working towards a similar goal the utmost health, happiness and prosperous future!
Tina Woolfolk I went from 261 to 205 pounds in 47 days that’s 56 pounds so far it has done great things and I’m still learning day by day I don’t regret it.
I hope all went well that is great Matt. I have 6 more weekly nutrition appointments and the appointment where they check out my stomach then I can submit to insurance. 😊
@@dominiqueariel1231 good luck to you this time will pass quick I had to do more than 6 months I did 23 months I had to do a prior surgery for my large intestine before I could get my sleeve your time is coming I’m happy for you😊
@Tina Woolfolk you’re on your way to big things my friend yesterday was my 2 month post op I now weigh 197.4 that’s 64 pounds in 2 months I never thought I would ever weigh less than 200 pounds again if it happened to me you will get even better results you watch your number will be called soon good luck to you my friend 😊👊👍
Thank you so much! I'm scheduled for surgery in October, and I haven't decided which one I want to do. This is very informative, and helps clear up several of my questions!
Watch some of the videos from people who had it done. They will be FAR more honest than a doctor. The surgeons won't tell you everything because they are scared you might change your mind. They are hungry for that money.
The Sleeve looks and sounds a lot safer imo. I don't like the thought of the bypass procedure as it just leaves the rest of the stomach there in your abdomen. This video is great and has give me a better understanding of both surgeries. Now I just need to get the money to pay for it (UK) I don't know how I go about seeing if I am an available candidate for the NHS to this. Thanks
ghrelin returns with vengeance after 12 or so months. Also dumping happens with a gastric sleeve. I recommend anyone considering weight loss surgery joins a weight loss group on Facebook and get information from those who have been through the operations. I had the gastric sleeve 2.5 years ago and while I am extremely pleased I did, I am struggling now with keeping the weight under control along with many others who had the surgery 2 plus years ago. I still experience dumping if I am not careful with what I eat.
They cut out the Fundus is what I’ve heard. That’s the part that makes the Ghrelin it’s true it does come back but never in the way it was before. The stomach makes gherlin again but never like it was. In a fetus it’s made in the brain after that it’s in the stomach. Ghrelin is not only the hunger hormone but also the fountain of youth better said hgh human growth hormone
Useful information. I am gastric sleeve 6 months operate. My weight was 165kg and now I am 130. Kg. How can i reduce more and never gain again . Thanks
I’m On ODSP. And Live In A Nursing Home In Peterborough Ontario.. So I Will Be Going To The Humber Hospital Toronto Ontario. I Was OK’ed Five Years Ago. But I Had No After Care At Home. But Now I Live In A Nursing Home. I Will Have The Care I Need
Wow. You must live in a good nursing home. I had visited one and on my way in, a man was calling for help. 2 hours later after I finished my visit, on my way out, he was still calling for help. I asked him if I could help. His pant was caught on the bed and he was holding onto his walker that whole time unable to unlatch it in his own. I unlatched it in two seconds and he raced toward the restroom happy "I'm going to make it this time!" I noticed he wore a hand-knitted yarmulke hat. Say thank you to every nurse who helps you.
You're absolutely amazing Doc I have a sleeve in 2016 an bypass November 19 2019 I'm glad someone explaining the details of both I notice the sleeve was less painful & my hunger last longer with the bypass i been through so much pain & discomfort & my hunger come earlier & i struggles with my 64oz of water I don't have diabetes or high blood pressure but I been through both almost 3 years a part Dec2016 November 2019 thank you very much
I had my spleen removed when I was a teenager, and during a back surgery in 2010, a vascular surgeon had to make an incision at a 45 degree angle from my spleen scar to work on my spine from the front. Knowing this info would that disqualify me from gastric bypass?
In gastric bybass they remove the portion of the stomach or they will just keep inside the body? In gastric sleeve, what happen now inside the stomach which secrets HCL?
I'm at 29 months& I whole- heartedly agree. Perpetual nausea/ vomiting ,strictures, stenosis, and now I marginal and jejuneal ulcerations. The only joy is I now weigh a little over half of my original weight (365 to 193 pounds) but i have stretche'd out skin from where the fat left, wrinkles where I never had before facial, I feel ugly, I feel sick, what an emotional cost to just live longer.
In some cases, conversion to a gastric bypass is the right answer. There are many factors involved in weight regain. The first step would be to check some labs, check the sleeve, and do a thorough review of diet and lifestyle. Many times we can help get you back on track without needing another surgery.
Dr John, I got diagnosed with diabetic Type 2 a year ago. Tried a lot to control but not going well so what would you advise by pass or gastric sleeve. I live in Saudi Arabia.
Appreciated, m 38 years of age and fasting diebeties is 245 popping up about 220 to 245, in Riyadh, Ksa the Dr advised for gastric sleeve where I insisted for by bass. The Dr said here that m still young and my diebeties only year old.. Any comments Dr. JOHN. accept my best regards.. Khan
@@nadiajadli-8987 this is the problem all doctors prescribed different none doctor on a same page which worries me. Some say by pass surgery so Dr's have a, priority sleeve.
Muhammad Khan there is one application web called Metabolic Risk Calculator to check what level of your type 2 diabetes. It will come out with result which surgery suits you. As for me, My result was severe and been on insulin for more than 5 yrs. I hv done my sleeve last week as recommended by my doctor. Check yours here : riskcalc.org/Metabolic_Surgery_Score/
Don't quote me on this but I think it's because the fact that you are eating 85% less. So you might be missing out on calcium or vitamin D and what not.
@@BrownGirlsHealing for real? Im taking classes rightnow before surgery and they say yhe first year in the sleeve you need supplements cuz ur not gonna get full vitamins, but after that u good. But best ask youre doctor everybody us different.
I wonder if the hunger hormones could be beneficial according to David Sinclair's longevity studies on mice showing how fasting increased lifespan. So is it the hunger hormones themselves or the fact of slowing metabolism by eating less. I hypothesize tbe latter which would actually make this surgery a healthy choice for those who can not push past hunger without eating.
Hi dr. I really need good advice to make decision to do gastric sleeve or no, cause I’m 5f3” and 180lb, 42 years old. My concern it is do NOT want lose weight more than 65-70lb, cause it’s going to be to much if lose more than 70lb. I don’t know what to do cause I talked to couple Weight loss dr to remove my stomach less than Standard and all said the standard is 80% person. In this point I’m worries to lose weight 70%_80% person of my body which is to much. Please give me some advice if the gastric sleeve surgery is safe and can I control it to Not lose to much just 60-70 lb? I appreciated your time
We have performed over 16,000 surgeries and almost never hear a patient say they feel they lost too much weight. Surgery is a tool; not a cure. You still control what you eat and how much you eat. The amount of weight you lose is largely up to you.
that what i heard the bypass can cure gerd, since the part of the stomach that causes acid is separated for the esophagus.. so in theory no more acid reflux.. while the sleeve might make reflux even worse...
I was wondering if you lose more hair with the BP than with the sleeve. When they did my scope they said i had ulcer but I've been on the medication for it for about 6 months or more. I also have acid reflux so I want to have bypass so it clears up that. I don't understand why you shouldn't have bypass if you've had ulcers? Also why does the bypass something cause hernias? If anyone the answers to any of my questions I would really like to know. Thanks
The amount of hair you lose doesn’t have anything to do with the procedure itself, hair loss is due to the rapid weight loss. Not everyone loses their hair, the amount of hair loss also depends on your protein intake, water intake, and genetics. Biotin and Jamaican Black Castor oil helps too! This article explains why some people get hernias after bypass surgery: radiopaedia.org/articles/internal-hernia-due-to-gastric-bypass-surgery?lang=us.
Bariatric surgeries do not lead to stomach cancer. As a matter of fact, people who have bariatric surgery and lose a significant amount of weight have a decreased risk of multiple types of cancer.
Hi thank you for the informative video im supposed to be getting my surgery next month and i still havnt been able to decide on whether to go for the rny or the sleeve. Im 32 yrs old and i have pcos. Ive been doing ok with the diet that my nutritionist put me on. My surgeon suggest that i get the sleeve but i was originally favoring the rny. I was 280lbs starting this process not im at 254lbs due to my pcos o havnt been able loose weight easily or get pregnant . Now that being said im afraid that of i get the sleeve i will gain alot of the weight that i loose back. O have friends who have had sleeve done and get 3x as big. I dont want that to happen to me any suggestion?
After going to the support groups, the people who had the bypass done seemed to be the ones with malabsorption issues, iron, Vitamin D, even when they took the vitamins, their bodies seemed to not absorb them. Part of the reason why I went with the sleeve, plus overall I’m pretty healthy, just 100+ lbs overweight for my height. No diabetes or other issues, I just need more help than diet and exercise to get my weight down. You’re taking vitamins though because you won’t be eating the same as before, only a fraction at best.
No Marissa usually they're talking about marginal ulcers In the stomach pouch and jejunum ( small intestine) 29 months after surgery I am the unhappy bearer of both. Have a phone consult (because of COVID19 not face-to-face) with my b surgeon in coming week
generally if your medications cant be gotten in liquid form then most surgeons will advise you to get the sleeve since your stomach absorbs medications the same after but bypass does not because it creates a lack of medications passing through the part of the intestine where meds are absorbed.
Yep they sure do- every time you'll have X-rays the radiologist will mention it in the notes- just had upper gi with barium- I was reminded I have surgical staples/ clips there( 29 months since GB) and from my gallery bladder and appendix removals which were 36 years ago. Ah well, it dies give them something to talk about.
With gastric bypass, is there records of the left portion of stomach affected by to much bile? there is no food in stomach to absorb bile, so are the gastric juices going to erode the stomach inner lining as they have no food to work on?Thank you.
Good question....my sis had stomach issue with stuff spilling into her gut after here surgery.....shes not here anymore and it makes wonder was that the cause of her death....Im supposed to be getting tbe gastric bypass so yeah.....I wanna know rbe answer to that as well
blackgirlsareperfect I’m sorry for your loss. What did the doctors say your sister passed away from? How old was she? Did she eat solid foods before 6 weeks after surgery
i had the lap band and have regretted every day for the last 10 years i went from 460 pounds to 300 pounds than i slowly gained weight till i was 490 pounds and im miserable and my date only gets worse because my teeth are like chalk can i cant chew anything hard
Many band patients have converted to a sleeve or bypass and have great success with their revisions. An important element of safely and healthfully losing weight after surgery is to be on BARIATRIC-specific vitamins and to have annual labs done to check vitamin and nutrition levels. It really is a lifelong commitment and you need a thorough program that offers that support.
@@SageBariatric honestly I'd rather just be done with the stuff I tried to be in for the Long Haul but everything messed me up all the time and I just don't want any part of it anymore but even though it's a failed procedure my doctor refuses to help me get it removed

Because she probably eats sugar and all the things you’re not supposed to. If you eat off the recommended foods that are given, you dump, simple

If there's no malabsorption in either case, then why have to take vitamins the rest of one's life? I don't understand...

What happens with the stomach part that has been cut off, does just rot making a fungus disease inside of you.?

i had the lap band and have regretted every day for the last 10 years i went from 460 pounds to 300 pounds than i slowly gained weight till i was 490 pounds and im miserable
and my date only gets worse because my teeth are like chalk can i cant chew anything hard
Many band patients have converted to a sleeve or bypass and have great success with their revisions. An important element of safely and healthfully losing weight after surgery is to be on BARIATRIC-specific vitamins and to have annual labs done to check vitamin and nutrition levels. It really is a lifelong commitment and you need a thorough program that offers that support.
@@SageBariatric honestly I'd rather just be done with the stuff I tried to be in for the Long Haul but everything messed me up all the time and I just don't want any part of it anymore but even though it's a failed procedure my doctor refuses to help me get it removed
