Here I go again

[Elaine9007]

I had sleeve surgery in March of 2012. Did really well. Lost 150 lbs. Then I broke my left hip from a fall (2016) 9 months later a dog knocked me down and I shattered my right femur. (2017)

I've gained quite a bit due to lack of mobility. I have started the process to have the bypass surgery. Am I nervous? Yes. I honestly didn't think I would have to go through this again. I need hip replacement revision surgery and have to lose 50 lbs prior. With extremely low mobility, my drs agreed with me to do this.

I'm 59.

Ouch! Sounds very painful. Good luck with the revision, hope it all goes well so you can have that hip replaced.

Welcome to the group, Elaine. Both of those injuries are serious and come with mobility issues so I can see how the weight came back. There is no shame in having the bypass after you've had the sleeve. You're still trying, still striving for a healthy you and that's always something to be proud of.

I'm so sorry to hear what you went through. I recently had a VSG to bypass revision in early August 2021. It was the best decision I've ever made concerning WLS. Good luck and keep us posted.
