Im a cheater...am i screwed?
Ballermom replied to jewintheridge's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was told that they will just go in and absolutely close you up without doing the Surgery if they caint work around your liver because it's Fatty. Even or the fact that I had to sign a surgical consent given them permission to do an Open Sleeve surgery ( cut you from top to bottom of your abdomen ) if they caint get to your stomach due to a fatty liver. Keeping it Real Wow That convinced me to follow the pre op diet I didn't want the large scar. Or cancel months of hard work. I was shock to see open surgery on the consent!!! -
Christmas is finally over
Ballermom replied to timewarp's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You are not required to write here. Lol It just helps to discuss and participate each step of the way. This journey is not a simple one and communicating with others who are going through the same thing is supportive in itself. Good luck! -

dumping syndrome
Ballermom replied to KayCTheNewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm curious as to what are your symptoms. And did your physician diagnosis you with dumping syndrome. Because I in particular have reactive hypoglycemia. Mine is like an allergy to simple sugar. In the beginning I thought I had dumping syndrome. I have even once had Splenda in a tea then I ended up in the bathroom sweaty and in the bathroom. But now I get sweaty headache sometimes. Like my sugar drops. This to Carbs. -
