    Hi Dustin!
    Mine is a bit of a story. Had sleeve on 4-26-2010. Weight was 281 on day of surgery. Lost to 208, was a total of 110 pounds from pre op weight. Suffered with terrible GERD for far too long and gained back to 267 in the summer of 2013. I think the slider type foods were more soothing. Somehow I got control of my tool and began to lose. I converted to RNY on Jan. 20, 2015, and weight was 231. GERD is better since I don't vomit bile anymore, but I still HAVE to take Prilosec and Zantac two times a day and Carafate four times a day. Weight is now 208 and am in a pause (expect these, they happen). I know this surgery will get me closer to goal than the sleeve ever did.

    I wish you all the best! Btw: I am from south Mississippi and have used y'all too, lol! Great pre op weight loss too!

    Congratulations on your upcoming surgery Dustin. You will do just fine and keep us posted with all the new wonderful changes that go on in your life. I had revision from lap band to gastric bypass and some days are better than others but I don't regret it one bit. I'm almost 6 months out now and time flies by so quickly. You will be postop before you know it. Take care!
