How was your surgery?
How did it go are u okay or better what where the cons. Of it
I recently had my GBPS on may 10 I was so terrified because of the stories I heard from people and videos about how painful it was and how they weren’t able to do anything, but honestly for me it was a walk on the park I was on my feet that very same day walking and staying hydrated is the key and heating pad yes is true it’s hard to pass gas and burp but just pad on you chest coughing is painful but tolerable I haven’t touched my pain medication at all if it’s not necessary don’t take it but then again every body is different
Thats great!
Hello how did go? I'm hoping to get mine done in 2 months 2021

Am have my gastric bypass Dec21 keep me in your prayers
How long after surgery should you be taking your vitamins? ASAP or a month or so. Thanks
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this message
Thank you for this video
Thank you for watching!
I’m having bypass surgery in 2 months. I originally was going for the sleeve but my doctor recommended the bypass due to my chronic acid reflux. I’m just more concerned about the malabsorption of nutrients with the bypass since I also suffer from anemia.
Both surgeries require taking supplements and can result in malabsorption. A nutrient deficiency after a bypass is generally not a major concern as long as you are eating a healthy and well-rounded diet.
How did it go? I'm thinking about getting the bypass too
How has everything been since yiur surgery
omg I wish I had a black woman as my Dr!!!! unfortunately there are none where I'm from.
She did an amazing job with my son and cousin.
What State is this Dr in?
3/9/22 on my way👍🏽
Hope it went well!
I was told that I am not a candidate 4 VSG that I would have 2 have a full gastric bypass becuz of my history of acid reflux. My concern is that I had heital hernia surgery over 6 yrs ago & the doctor said he would have 2 take whatever was done apart when he does the gastric bypass surgery. So will I have acid reflux worse with the gastric bypass surgery?
Under your circumstances it sounds like a gastric bypass is a better choice due to your reflux history. Although if you have doubts about what procedure to get, we encourage you to talk to another bariatric surgeon.
Hello, You mention that the bypass is reversible. Is that something that your hospital does and has a good record for?
Yes, we have performed many of these procedures and they are not difficult under most circumstances.
Thank you for the information, I appreciate it.
@@LiveHealthyMD I am not absorbing have lost too much weight now they want to do a reversal do you recommend
Dr.Hill was supposed to do my surgery,but she quit
I have been researching for myself due to my health looking for the best in Alabama.
We are happy to know you are taking control of your health! Georgia is not far from Alabama :) If you are interested in getting an appointment with one of our surgeons, you email email info@bcofa.com
I am interested in getting this procedure but also want to know the side effects like loose skin is my concern
Hi Jaquaisha, loose skin is a legitimate concern after significant weight loss through surgery or traditional means. The amount of excess skin really depends on a variety of factors such as age, smoking history, amount of weight loss and body shape/type.
We often tell our patients that they have to weigh the benefits of WLS against the consequences, however we have never met a patient they wished they were still overweight because they now have excess skin.
I live in Maryland and I’m seeking a surgeon for this procedure. Please recommend
Hi, the best option is to reach out to your insurance company and ask them for bariatric surgeons they recommend that are in network. Be sure you are looking for a surgeon that is affiliated with a Center of Excellence program. Also, Bariatric Surgery Source has an option to find providers too: www.bariatric-surgery-source.com/bariatric-surgeon-in-my-area.html
I am currently trying to decide which way to go so far my surgeon recommends VSG but said it was my choice!
Yep, it is really going to depend on your weight loss expectations as well as what you surgeon recommends based on your health history. Good luck with your surgery!
@@LiveHealthyMD Thanks having VSG on the 3rd!!

Also check out this blog too that compares the DS and the GBP: bcofa.com/blog/gastric-bypass-vs-duodenal-switch/
What happened then to the bigger stomach being separated or cut ?
Exactly what I’m thinking
I could use this information for the penguin 🐧
I had mine done on June 6 2021, Only problem is Vomiting still, I wake up with Nausea, As soon as I eat Two mouthful of any soft food My body Responds bad, Feel pain in my chest and abdominal and I vomit, any food gives me a strange feeling that's hard to Explain 😥
That is a concern and could be a sign of a stricture. You need to see your bariatric surgeon to ensure it gets addressed.
Do y'all take any Medicare or Medicaid 4:57
Question. I had vsg dec 2019. Hw 367, sw 330, cw 199. Lost or losing everywhere but stomach. I have big stomach that hangs and the more i lose the bigger it feels like its getting. I havent had any regain so im curious as to if its possible i can gain fat in my belly without it showing on scale? Like maybe my fat is transfering here while losing everywhere else? Or is it just because im losing and getting smaller im noticing the stomach more because i havent lost alot there?
Everyone's body is different and where you deposit fat will vary from one person to the next. It is likely that you are losing the weight and experiencing excess skin in the abdominal area. There are options to have skin removal surgery. We encourage you to reach out to a plastic surgeon in your area to see if this is an option with your insurance.
What’s the average cost of this surgery?
It will depend on if your insurance covers the cost of weight loss surgery. If you are self pay, it can range from $10K to $20K depending on the procedure and the program you go to. Your best option is to reach out to a nearby bariatric program and set up a consultation so they can verify your insurance.
My mom had gastric bypass in 2006 and basically ended up starving to death over the course of 15 years. She died this month. The last 3 years she could barely eat and lost half of her body weight after already being underweight. She was so weak and couldn't walk. The doctors just kept sending her home. Finally her blood pressure was so low she fell and broke her artificial shoulder. She died a week later from surgical complications. Bottom line, this is a nasty procedure and in my opinion should be banned. Yeah it feels good the first two years when weight comes off but beware, for the rest of your life you are slowly starving to death.
We are sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, some patients can experience negative complications from the procedure and if not treated by a reputable surgeon and care team, these complications can progress.
I'm sooo sorry to hear about your mother. My condolences 💔
complications listed make it not worth it
tf you mean a pulmonary embolism is a minor complication
We mention that it is minor because it occurs in less than 1% of patients. We, as bariatric surgeons, also take the necessary precautions before your procedure to ensure you are not prone to blood clotting
I hate the Dr Hill left here. 😫😫😫. I wanted you to do my surgery.
Are you located in Georgia?
@@LiveHealthyMD no I’m in Syracuse. Dr Hill did cousin last name Myers and my son D. Moody w/ dr grabers office.
@@LaTonyaC Oh, bummer! Well if you are in Georgia, you are always welcome to our offices / the offices of Dr. January Hill!
Have a question 4:57
