Just be careful about Dr. V’s “no exercise is good” claims. There is no research to back up his claims and tons of research that say he is wrong. Many bariatric surgeons have come out fiercely against what he says. There are also some really shady things about Dr. V in terms of the money he makes on his vlogs and how he has been accused of saying these things only to make money. Meaning, he puts out a video that everyone wants to believe is true. Because of course we want to be told exercise is bad, right? So, because of that, the video spreads like wildfire and he’s making bank. I’ve read a lot about this and the money wall that is behind us Facebook page. I really don’t trust him, especially considering he very plainly stated that he’s not a bariatric surgeon (he’s a general surgeon) but he chose to learn how to do the sleeve operation because there are so many fat people he knew he’d get rich. He actually said this. I don’t trust him at all. On June 12, 2017 I had my gallbladder removed, my lapband removed and revised to an RNY. HW: 402, SW 306, CW 249, GW 185

Yes! I am soooo freaking tired of the whining, “omg I’m ONLY losing 15-20 lbs a month it’s so unfairrrrrrrr!!!” [emoji849] Like, seriously?

Just be careful with the doctor in this video. His ideas have been repeatedly debunked by a multitude of bariatric surgeons. There’s a ton of research that goes against everything he says. I think a lot of WLS patients listen to him because they want to believe he’s right. Don’t exercise after surgery?? Awesome! It sounds great, right? But there is zero scientific research to support his claims and a ton of scientific research that debunks his claims. So, just keep that in mind.

I don’t understand why you keep comparing yourself to other people. Your weight loss is ahead of the game, actually. This complaining isn’t going to get you anywhere. On June 12, 2017 I had my gallbladder removed, my lapband removed and revised to an RNY. HW: 402, SW 306, CW 257, GW 185

“The world’s shittiest results”?? You’ve lost 30 pounds in under 2 months and you’re saying the weight loss is too slow. What exactly were you expecting??? I don’t understand posts like this at all. Did you not talk to your surgeon and nutritionist prior to surgery? Did you not do research? Are you not familiar with how this process works? Are you unfamiliar with how common stalls are? How long lasting they can be? Right after my first month post op, I had a 6 week stall. You are going to have to get your expectations in check or you’re not going to make it through this. You’re already getting frustrated and eating potato chips (I.e. sabotaging) and you’re not even 2 months out. This is happening because your expectations are not reasonable. I would strongly recommend attending support group meetings and finding a therapist. You also need to meet with your nutritionist so he/she can set you straight on expectations.

Well now wait just a second! Are you insulting me? Being abusive? Picking on me? Those are the things you accused me of, dear heart. It seems you're no better than this sociopath. LOL Thanks for the laugh.

Your ability to whine for hours on end is impressive. I take it you've had plenty of practice.

I value you my privacy. It doesn't seem you do, as you very unfortunately have posted a photo. As an aside, sexual assault has absolutely nothing to do with physically appearance or sexual attraction. It's about weak men (or women) who want to feel more powerful so they force themselves on others.

Telling you that I would quickly and gladly blow your brains out if you, or anyone, ever approached me and attempted to force yourself on me as you have repeatedly done on this thread is an absolute promise. Threat? More like a very clear and ardent warning. When someone says they want to be left alone then you should probably leave them alone. Leave me alone and go spend your time daydreaming about sex with puppies. That's something you've indicated is a strong interest of yours.

Did you really just discuss horny puppies? That's where you mind stays, huh? Yeah, I was absolutely spot on when I said you're the type of "man" who continually tries to force himself on women. You are disgusting. Seriously. It's a good thing you're not in my vicinity. I carry a lovely little 9mm just for disgusting, depraved, sick bastards like yourself. I'd love for you to stand in front of me and attempt to push yourself on me. It would be the last time you ever assaulted anyone, be it verbally or physically.

You know, this load of crap would've been a little more believable if not for your repeated passive aggressive "way to go" posts to those who wanted to argue with me. The fact remains you lack the spine to actually speak for yourself so you hide behind others who do possess the courage. I guess you didn't take your own advice and "learn when to keep your mouth shut".

Linda, your passive aggressiveness is on full display. If you have something to say to me then have the courage to say it. At least then you'd be eligible for respect. But the passive aggressive "way to go" comments you're posting to those who want to argue with me are just weak. At least they possess the spine to speak up against me directly.

No, I don't "act" that way. In fact, literally stating the opposite of what you're claiming is the very definition of not "acting" that way. I think what you mean to say, is that is how you've perceived my comments. I'm not responsible for your perceptions. Your mind is mangling my very clear words that are literally in black and white and assigning entirely different meaning to them. It's actually quite fascinating to see you attempt to twist words and assign opposing meaning. It's also quite telling.

Where did I say someone can't participate? I simply said I'm not interested in conversing with the idiot vying for my attention. I'm not a big fan of men who attempt to assert their "manhood" on women who have no desire to know them... such as the person you're referring to or the other male above who has quite literally been following me on these boards for months. But if you're fond of that type of culture then good for you. I cannot say I'm surprised.

LOL I've already told you I'm not interested yet you continue to bother me. That must be how you think you're supposed to behave in order to get a woman to talk to you. Again, I'm not the least bit interested in conversing with you. Take no for an answer.

I really cannot be bothered the read the entirety of this attempt to garner my attention. You are boring.

Wow. You're still unable to understand such a basic concept. Let's try this one more time. I did not say I prefer to only interact with colleagues. I said, when discussing the subject of psychology, I prefer to only interact with colleagues. So, no, there is no contradiction here. Is that really so difficult for you to grasp? 😂😂 As for the quality of my academic programs, one of them was at a top rated university and the other was any Ivy League university. But feel free to contunuing arguing the quality of my education. Lol As for looking down on anyone, I simply called you out for attempting to insert yourself into and comment regarding a profession you clearly know nothing about. Now here you are stalking me ad nauseum with your inane banter. It's pathetic. I would definitely recommend taking advantage of that on call psychotherapist you claim to have, as you seem to be very much in the midst of a manic breakdown. Now, be gone... stop begging me for the attention and recognition you so desperately crave--even from strangers on the internet.

I am a member of that type of forum, actually. However, since you don't seem to have grasped this part, I'll break it down for you. When discussing psychological issues, I prefer to deal with my equals who are fellow professionals in the field as opposed to someone who has zero education in the field and is clearly ignorant of psychology, yet still posts online as if they are an expert on the topic. Maybe that cleared things up for you... though I very much doubt it. On June 12, 2017 I had my gallbladder removed, my lapband removed and revised to an RNY. HW: 402, SW 306, CW 257, GW 185

Hah. Well, at least you have a therapist on call. It certainly seems you need one. I mean, after all, your emotions "could come crashing down tomorrow". On June 12, 2017 I had my gallbladder removed, my lapband removed and revised to an RNY. HW: 402, SW 306, CW 257, GW 185

Unless you're a licensed mental health therapist like myself then spare me the asinine armchair psychologist crap. I prefer to deal with actual professionals in my field rather than some internet troll looking for attention. On June 12, 2017 I had my gallbladder removed, my lapband removed and revised to an RNY.

"A food addiction addict". Hahahaha. Redundant, much? That's like saying, "an alcoholism alcoholic". By the way, addicts aren't "pathetic". There are many, many studies that prove beyond reproach that addiction is a disease just like cancer or diabetes. People like yourself who insult addicts are the truly pathetic ones. Tell me something, genius. Where did you get your psychology degree? I assume you have one since you're playing armchair psychologist and pretending you're qualified to make these statements. As someone who does have bachelor's and master's degrees in psychology and will be finishing up my doctorate soon, I actually am qualified to diagnose and treat. I can see clearly that you're a rude, lonely, bitter, uneducated, uninformed, judgmental idiot who thinks they know it all, but actually knows nothing. I'm also guessing you're probably quite old, which likely contributed to your bitterness. Bummer. On June 12, 2017 I had my gallbladder removed, my lapband removed and revised to an RNY.

Save the bullying for someone else. Nobody needs you to attempt to prove your manhood here by picking on someone who is vulnerable and looking for support. On June 12, 2017 I had my gallbladder removed, my lapband removed and revised to an RNY. HW: 402, SW 306, CW 257, GW 185
