@ thank you! I just enjoyed your new video! I am eight months postop RNY today! I am down 105 pounds and feeling really amazing. Videos like your’s helped me make the best decision of my life ❤️
I had surgery on 11/8/23 and I am restricted to no more than 4oz/half cup of food total per meal for the next 12 months. Amazingly, you can eat more than this amount.
A "what I eat in a day" video where you actually show us what you eat instead of just talk about yourself for 15 minutes?? Very well done. I'm almost two weeks post op and I can't wait to try the felicia combo when I can.
Thanks for doing these videos. My Dr is recommending the switch and I appreciate hearing how it has been for someone else. Looking forward to seeing maybe a 6 month update. ♥️
Hi, hi! I hope you’ve been doing well!! I just posted my own 3 year post-op update on my channel if you’re interested in seeing how I’ve progressed so far!
I am going through the process of getting approved for duodenal switch. However, my insurance considers it experimental so not sure if will be covered 🥺 surgeon thinks he can make a good case with my BMI, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol 🙃 thanks for sharing your journey!

Can't wait to try the Palmini... I love Raos. So yummy. Keep inspiring!
Please keep us updated on your journey! I just started my journey towards surgery and have been looking into the Sadi.. it seems like it would work best for my weight loss goals, to keep the weight fully off forever cause I’m tired of the yo-yo dieting lol
hello.. i just wanted to say thank you. I am 3 months in pre op (started this process in june 2024...! starting weight was 318.5 pounds..im down to 311).I had a total knee replacement on left knee september 2019 and due to covid my right knee surgery had to be postponed, went in to see a new knee surgeon he took one look at me an said "your fat an need to loose weight then your knees wont hurt". wrong ..i was born with club foot and have always had knee problems even when i was 110 pounds..!!
New subscriber here… I’m in the process of getting bariatric surgery and would like to know…what made you decide on the duodenal loop instead of the other options?
Thank you for sharing. I'm going through the process now for a revision. I had the VSG back in 2017. My doctor said he can definitely get me approved for surgery only thing is, he doesn't do the duodenal switch. Which is my first choice. But His co-worker, their pretty close, he's an expert on the duo-switch. Their supposed to be the best two surgery doctors in the whole hospital. My doctor suggested I pick between the RNY or duo-switch. He told me he thinks I would do good on either one. He's not for sure that my BMI is high enough for the duo-switch. The RNY for sure he can get me approved. I started my paperwork and booked my nutrition, upper G.I, etc. I do have to wait to hear back from my doctor about his co-worker response to performing the duo-switch. If not, my doctor is just going to do the RNY. Crossing my fingers for the duo-switch but, at the same time I wish my doctor performed both procedures. Whichever one will make me happy. About 2020 is when I experienced the weight gain. I'm still down from my highest weight, I got that going for myself. We both got this!!!
@@whiterussian22 exact my stats; starting weight 255-260. Surgery day 247lbs. I dropped a few pounds on my own. 12 months post op I was 168lbs. Maintenance weight was in the 170's. About pretty much, around the pandemic, was when weight gain started. I would say after September 2020, is when I started experiencing weight gain. I started my paperwork Jan 2023. When they weighed me, I was 240lbs back in January. Current weight now is 226lbs. VSG didn't get me to my goal weight. I wasn't happy. There were some RUclipsrs bigger than me but, then got down to 120lbs with the VSG. Some of them have kept that off. I must say, most of them gained the majority of that weight back. I strongly suggest that somebody looking to have surgery for the first time should consider the RNY or dudo-switch. VSG in my own personal experience does help you lose weight fast. But in that 6 month I started to hit stalls. I really had to work hard to drop the last few lbs. It depends on the weight goal and body type. My body at 168lbs was smaller; size 18 to 9's. But I wasn't completely at the goal I wanted. If I knew what I know now, I would have gone for the RNY. I picked the VSG because, I thought it would be a healthier choice. Not such a good reason and now I'm going through a revision. I should have told my doctor I wanted to get to 120-130lbs. Somebody like me needed the dudo-switch for long term results. I still don't regret surgery. Watching that weight melt off me like water; I felt so good. My energy levels were high. I was constantly at the gym. Eating healthy. Something I hadn't done in years. You would be surprised how that procedure can really change you. Mentally and physically!! Sticking to a healthy diet and routine helps to be successful.
@@DivatoSabrina Congrats! I'm sure this revision will take you to your goal. Yes, many people choose VSG because it's less invasive and it helps many to get to their goal. I know a very obese couple who got really thin just by VSG, and they keep this weight for several years. But I know, that many developed a serious reflux, and this is why they had to go for bypass revision. Didn't you have any problem with acid reflux?
Hey Madison. how are you doing now? I miss your videos. I am 9 weeks post op and have my first visit with my surgeon today. Hopefully she can figure out why my stomach hurts whenever I eat or drink anything. sharp stabbing pains. that cant be normal.
My surgeon has recommended DS surgery for me I am at 400lbs and I know I need to have the surgery but these type of comments have me concerned. I hope you got everything corrected and Ty for being honest with your experience.
You did a fantastic job. Extremely professional. Thank you. God bless you! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
This was great, I’d love more videos!

Hello! And congrats on your progress so far! New video on my channel now that it’s been three years for me. How are you doing now?!
I hope everything is well I hope you will do an update soon thank you for your videos
New subscriber here… I’m in the process of getting bariatric surgery and would like to know…what made you decide on the duodenal loop instead of the other options?
Nice I did my research about wls, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass for many years now ❤
It's the surgery that has the least statistical rate of regain. Sleeve, band, even bypass have higher rates of weight regain
Thanks
Update on your progress please 🙏..

How much did you lose after VSG and then how much did u gain back?

Hey! How are you? How did it go? My husband will have his next month!
What did you eat for breakfast? was it just the coffee for your meal?
Hey Madison. how are you doing now? I miss your videos. I am 9 weeks post op and have my first visit with my surgeon today. Hopefully she can figure out why my stomach hurts whenever I eat or drink anything. sharp stabbing pains. that cant be normal.
I have the same problem I think it’s quick swallowing and gulping
My surgeon has recommended DS surgery for me I am at 400lbs and I know I need to have the surgery but these type of comments have me concerned. I hope you got everything corrected and Ty for being honest with your experience.
