Hello everyone, I am new to this site and wanted to say hi and introduce myself.
I had my sleeve done in Mx in 2013 by Dr Kelly. I was a lightweight (190lbs) at the time of surgery as I kicked ass for 2 years before surgery and lost 60lbs. Post sleeve I found that I was an extremely slow loser and only lost approx 35lbs and this was with doing a ton of exercise and running 7+ KM a day. I put on weight so very easy that it is frustrating as hell. Due to increased GERD (I think from an extremely stressful work situation) I could only tolerate slider foods, and developed a protein intolerance where my body decided that protein wasn't my friend. At this point in time I have gained back all my weight, which I am very pissed at but I only have myself to blame. I have now left my very toxic work environment and am continuing to work out (not experiencing GERD and am able to eat meat again). I know that I will struggle to lose this weight as my body just loves to be chunky lol I swear that I am one of those that genetics say up your going to be fat for life lol
I am looking into doing a revision but not sure which one would suit me better. I know that either DS or RNY will require vits and that will be a must. I sent in some requests for info to some Mx surgeons and most want to do a MGB instead of RNY. I haven't heard much about that one so I am looking into what it is and if it's really worth me going under the knife again for something that may not work for me.
Any suggestions or helpful hints/info would be greatly appreciated.
Dani
