Wow I actually read it all! Thank you for sharing the good AND the bad. Usually you get one or the other. Of course some only experience one or the other. I'm learning everyone is different. I'm sorry that you struggled at first but I'm happy to hear you're doing well now. Can we be expecting some before and after photos soon? Sent from my KFOT using VST

I am sorry to hear this . You seem really positive though even though you're been through so much. I am so happy I've chosen the sleeve over the band. I have a cousin who has the band and she is always having problems. She carries around a cup she spits up in all the time. Why is that?

I have read/heard that many surgeons will not do WLS if someone's BMI is over 50. I was wondering if anyone have experienced this? As of right now my BMI is around 70, and to get down to 50 I would have to lose almost 100lbs! I was just wondering if anyone else had to lose a great deal of weight before getting WLS due to high BMI

I was wondering the same thing.

Ok so am I EVER going to get rid of this second chin? I have lost 45 pounds since Nov. (I'm on a diet for weight loss surgery), and since Feb. of last year (2012) I've lost a total of 71 lbs. I am sooo tired of my double chin and want it gone! lol. Now I use to have four chins, this last one is just being really stubborn lol. Will it ever go away!! I can now feel my cheek bones, and jaw line, it's just that underneath part that's bothering me!!! Ugh.

Is it a website? Why not just post the website so we can go look too!!!! Don't make us wait please..haha

This looks really yummy!!!

I know that there was a leak in the staple line. I am just wondering if maybe there was a health condition that might have made the complications worse, added to it, or kept her from healing like she should have. I am not blaming the victim either, and if she has some health problem that could have worsen it, that would also be out of her control! (and I'm not imply that you suggested I did). I'm just curious. .

Congrats!!! Way to go!! I bet you feel 100x better!

I do have to lose weight 75 lbs total, and 60 before they schedule my surgery..and I have to say..I am kicking butt!! I have under 20 lbs to reach my 60 lbs goal and I feel like it has taken no time. It's been hard but I know it will be worth it! I do believe that he has my best interests at heart, and that in the long run it will be easier on me to lose some weight before hand.

YAY!! Congrats? How are you feeling as far as energy goes? And how are you coping with the new eating life style?

May I ask you the OP a question? Did your sister have other underlying health issues that may have added extra complications that you did not mention? I am sorry to hear this has happened, but like others have mentioned sounds like malpractice. The dr.s and surgeon clearly did not do their job, and that is on THEM! Had they listen, and took action right away your sister may not have gone through what she has (of course we'll never know that).

Congrats on your 102 weight loss!!! I am pre-opt right now, so I am not dealing with the hair loss yet. However, they have put me on a multi-vit. and told me to take biotin now. I also use shampoo and conditioner with biotin in it. Since I've been using them my nails grow like crazy, and my hair is soft and strong!!
