To Mikey’s credit he has been consistent with his attitude for a year now. Always a bit self centered and very matter a fact. Very much his way is right yours is wrong. A bit of a narcissist. He went from an awkward fat man to a confident skinny man. Outside of the WLS community this behavior is called being a d**k.

Wow, no-one will ever need weight loss surgery any more! I wish I'd read this post years earlier, it would definitely have fixed my years of struggle with weight gain and loss, and eating disorders. Seriously though, tough love DOES NOT WORK. I'd have thought the fact that we have all needed weight loss surgery is a clue to that. My eating disorder was not something I could out think, fix with a diet or just white knuckle through with willpower. If you made the mental decision and that was all it took, why get surgery???

most of lose between 15-25 lbs the first month (a few more or less - but most are within that range), so you are doing just fine!

Congratulations....I just got mine today and it's August 11

Congrats I’m not too far afterwards I fly out for my surgery September 3 & have my VSG on Sept 9th! Best wishes for successful surgery & speedy recovery

I had bypass surgery 9 days ago and already down 16 lbs!!!! I'm so glad I did this. Was this just a lucky week for me or can I expect to lose this much weight each week for the first couple of months? Sent from my LM-V405 using BariatricPal mobile app

Congratulations! That’s so awesome!!

Congratulations! I hope I get a similar kind of call in about 5 months. Haha. Well, minus the pee and the splits. 😉

Congrats!!! It will be here before you know it!!!!

Not sure how giving a positive recommendation can be considered ‘fans taking it too far’. I don’t know what you hold against him, but the ‘hero-worshipping’ you refer to might be from reading multiple positive reviews from people living a better life as a result of having surgery with Dr. Chris. During my research I didn’t find as much good feedback on any other European surgeon. You are entitled to your opinion obviously but please don’t bad mouth a surgeon you haven’t actually met or had an experience with. Best of luck with your research and your journey.
