Re: Gastric by pass
Well, I am hoping to get a laproscopic RNY. It is where they seperate half or more of you stomach from the other part. It is reversible and it makes a tiny pouch of about a teaspoon to about the size of an egg. Then they allow you to slowly stretch it out over the course of 8 weeks to about the size of a cup and 1/2.
You will have to be completely under sedation to have it done. Sometimes they have to completely open you up.
I will lose between 70 and 120 lbs from this proceedure. They will have a nutritionist on hand. a psycologist will evaluate me and the program last for about 1 and 1/2 years to re-teach me how to eat properly so I won't gain the weight back.
Honestly there will be a few foods I will never be able to eat again but the trade off will be well worth it. I am super morbidly obese I am 5 foot one and 272 which is very dangerous.
