Hello everybody,
I had a gastric bypass in 2005; went in with 265 pounds, got to 165 aprox, but since then, and after 2 pregnancies, I've gained 50% back, and have developed a chronic anemia.
I went to a doctor who is the leading surgeon in the country (I live in Chile) and I am now going through examinations in order to see what's going on and see what options I have - if I have any.
The doctor mentioned, during the initial app, just thinking out loud si guess...he mentioned converting from bypass to sleeve. Have you heard about such procedure? I understand I would solve the anemia problem,but would I still be able to lose weight?
I have an app with the doctor on Oct 5, and I'd like to go with some ideas or suggestions.. by the way, the doctor does hundreds of surgeries a year and about 5% are revision...so I trust him, but I'd like to have a broader picture of the options...I appreciate any input! Thanks!
