Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Dropping a line to say Hi! Hello All.  I’ve been reading here on and off since the site first came up, But just dropped out of “Lurker/Reader” mode and wanted to say Hi. I’m almost at my 5 year Surg-iversary. BMI of 51 before surgery, Now at 24.3. (where it has been for about 4 years. Just had Blood tests/Labs last week, And all is still perfect. Just wanted to share- 5 years out, and life is grand!! I had a rough start with complications But passed on through and on to healthy life. Glad to see so many using this support system And growing toward improved lives each day. (familiar faces and new acquaintances) Best Wishes- Dx |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I have a question!!!! You are almost 5 years out - how has the journey been...has it been hard to keep the weight off after the first year or so - we all worry that we'll gain it back  . Does the tool still work as well as in the beginning? Are you still eating about 1000 calories? What tips do you have for long term success? Thanks!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Welcome! So glad to hear you've been successful. I think we all worry that "it just won't work" and that we'll gain it all back. So it really helps to hear old-timers tell us that they've kept it off. Interested to see your answers to Denise's questions above. |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Quote:
I sometimes feel guilty for saying so, But it has been easy. (well, once I got past my first year) Old-Profile-from-OH I actually eat about 2100 to 2400 Calories a day, But have developed the habit of a healthy balanced, Low-Glycemic range of foods. What has “made it work for me…” is establishing habits those first couple of years That keep me from having to struggle later on. Yes? Plain ole- “Protein First, No ‘empty calories,’ little to no sugar, drink plenty of water and follow my doc’s guidelines for Vitamin supplementation. Hardly ever use “protein shakes” or protein supplements, (getting my protein from food choices.) I get in some exercise daily, eat 5 to 6 smaller meals (or combo of Meals/snacks) And enjoy life. I often say to those just starting to advance their diets and Struggling to get in their protein-- “It DOES Get Easier!” I would have to say (IMHO) it’s the same for folks 2 years out…. Best Wishes- Dx | |
