it went pretty well... i had a bad reaction to anesthesia and was very very nauseated, they kept me in recovery for a few hours because i wasn't stable enough to go to the floor, had some O2 saturation issues. nothing major but super uncomfortable and stressful. i'm ok now though. have a fair amount of pain and really having problems drinking like i'm supposed to be but that's pretty normal for this stage.

I've been considering going through bariatric revision but tbh, the bypass kind of scares me with how permanent it is - at least with the band I can have it removed and no harm/foul.
I have several friends who have gone through the bypass and had awesome results and are so happy with their choice. - Congrats on your decision and I wish you the best!

i had the sleeve. the bypass wasn't really an option for me because of the mal-absorption part of bypass with all of the meds i take and how they'd need to be revised. they will still have to be just because there will be less of me to medicate but it will be predictable at least.
i had my preop appointment on 3/26 and between then and my weigh in on 4/3 i lost 26 lbs lol
still on an all clear liquid diet for now, and then shakes + clear liquids until the 16th, and then i'll probably be cleared for full liquids
my stomach now holds 2oz. it will stretch a bit in the upcoming weeks but not all that much. i need to drink 56+ oz of water/clears per day plus 18oz+ of protein shakes. seems impossible tbh but i'll figure it out.
