Wow, those are some significant injuries, I'm sorry to hear that. I had a lot of issues with my lap band and had it removed last June. The band made t hard to eat good foods like broccoli, spinach and lean protein yet it was easy to eat crunchy carbs. I had much better weight loss results prior to band surgery and when the band was unfilled. Hope your appointment answers some questions for you.

How adorable, a pissing contest over bragging rights for "likes". Hey, you gotta take 'em where you can get 'em. lol

No one asks for you to take your time out of the day to read their story. In fact, feel free to block me so that we can stop any issue now or in the future. The degree to which one should or shouldn't have to put up with something on this forum is not a finite answer. For instance, with regards to basic education, we learned early on to capitalize the first word of sentences. It sends the message that another phrase is beginning and when proper English was omitted from your response, your communication became cumbersome. However, my basic education has also taught me context so you don't have to worry as I understood you as I also understood the OP.

Do you know if there are any surgical solutions for the adhesions? I suspect that is the cause of my constipation. I worry a lot about chronic constipation after RNY, to the point of wondering if I rethink this surgery.

Everyone is so different, this is a hard question to answer. I know that when I was *on* and had last 100 pounds, was very into my nutrition, macros, workouts and with a complete restructure of my routines, I was SO thankful that I had chosen natural weight loss rather than a bariatric surgery as a tool. I still thought that when I gained it back and lost 100 pounds again. Now 14 years as passed and each time I've gained weight it's been harder to loose it while following the same nutrition and exercise framework and my body is really starting to hurt. I need to do something quickly because even loosing 100 pounds means I still had about 100 more to loose and I'm not sure I can do that AND maintain it.

At this point you should be totally restructuring your approach to food. It is fuel not there to comfort you with reminders of past routines. I'd really encourage you to wrap your head around maximine protien and nutrients per bite. Sent from my SM-G920T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Sorry to hear you are sick, hope you feel better soon so you can sail through surgery!!

What are your plans to turn your mind away from emotional eating after the surgery?

That is all so exciting - congratulations!!!

This will be the lady with complications who asks God 'why!!!!??' and he'll say 'my Messengers told you the doctor was a wack job, but you made a choice to worship a false idol and have him perform the sugery anyways' Sent from my SM-G920T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I will pray that God's light shines down in you so that you may see better to make wiser decisions. Sent from my SM-G920T1 using BariatricPal mobile app
