Hello I'm researching weight loss alternatives - will consider medical tourism outside of the US Interested in clinical trials as well btwn 20-40lbs Overweight Thanks

I would really appreciate any more info on the trials for the endo barrier Thanks

Thanks. Yes I've been in oa on and off for 20 years Yes I have had extensive therapy Thanks for the feedback

Anyone know former Yoyo dieter or eating disorder success stories

Thanks. What I'm hoping for is to feel full after eating 1/10 of what I feel full from now. Is this a pipedream? The agency claims getting sleeved will stop my stomach from producing the hormone ghrelin. Which will help by stopping the mental hunger cravings that my brain creates- is this true? Do hunger urges go away? Also - it is my belief that everyone who has Yoyo dieted and overeats has some form of an eating disorder - binge eating disorder ( just no purging) I've gotten therapy for my body image issues and food issues and I intellectually 'get it' I really just want an intelligent permanent solution. I want to be proactive about it and stop wasting time and energy obsessing and repeating destructive patterns.

I just wrote this but I think it went to someone's PM. Anyhow.... There is a company that sends me emails about international doctors that only do sleeve surgery and they target to people that only need to loose 30 lbs or so. I know when something sounds to good to be true which is why I'm on this forum because I want to read testimonials from actual patients and not agents for the medical tourism industry. I dream of life without the contestant stress and pressure to be thin and the luxury of just being thin. Supposedly many Hollywood celebs have gone to this doc in BAJA Cali. Eg nicole Ritchie Courtney love and Hillary duff. People that were never obese but constantly up and down on the scale. ( which is very unhealthy In itself) So I hope I'm not offending anyone by joining this forum but I'm totally fed up with this del sabotaging pattern and just want a permanent solution and peace of mind about my body image and weight. Ahhh stability. So after a year or longer after the sleeve surgery - are the food options as strict or is this just a gradual post- op diet to adjust and add foods back ? Thanks

Haven't purged in years
