Hi I had a sleeve gastrectomy in 2008 and never lost all of my weight.
Hi I hope you are recovering ok now? I am really nervous but hearing there are others our there choosing this option helps :). Let me know how you are going?
My doctor said he bypassed 7 feet.
I am very fortunate I have never dumped.when did you have your sleeve done?

Hello... I just had the Mini Gastric Bypass done earlier this week - Nov 23, 2014 to be exact. My doctor says its the safest option! I am in Saudi Arabia and had my MGB with Dr. Khalid Mirza in Saad Hospital, Khobar.
it's only been 6 days with no complications so far.. but I think I am having a slow recovery. I still have abdominal pain. Some incisions still hurt. I am still on pain killers every 4 or 6 hours.
My cousin had his MGB done with the same doctor about 6 months ago. His starting weight was 144 Kg. Now he is 85 Kg. My starting weight is 101 KG.. today I weighed 96.8 Kg. I am sure it's all fluid loss. I am now on the liquid diet phase for 2 weeks - I hate the protein powder. I will not force myself to swallow it down. I hate it and I feel miserable when I force myself to drink it!
How many cms of small intestine did your surgeon bypass? Mine says he is looking at around 200cms? How many cmd are bypassed with the RNY?
Congrats to you both on your weight loss. :)
Do you both have energy still?
I dump on the sleeve so I am thinking i am likely to dump with the Mini Bypass as well. I get delayed Dumping about 3 hours after sugar (only sometimes) and get shaking nausea and clammy.
I actually hope I dump after the bypass but I am scared as well.
