I read alot of research. I pulled that stats from a source. The "95%" was a quote. I have to look it up again. It the success rate from sleeve to bypass related to the absence of GERD.. I'll give you the source later today. Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

HOLY BANANAS!! Fast Track and I am still debating
SeattleLady replied to cmandrews13's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Here the deal in my view. A person can sabotage either procedure. However, read the medical journals that deal with obesity and look up the psychological studies after wls. You have to prepare your Mind and body for long-term success. It's not just about the weight. Your life is going to change in multiple ways. Counseling can help throughout this process.

SeattleLady replied to lorena090's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
When is last time you visited your surgeon? What does he think? Do medical professionals think you are to small? Seek professional assistance! Sometimes we have been so traumatize that being healthy is a shock. I am sure your life has changed dramatically. Keep fighting for your mental and phyical health!

I was afraid to tell my husband about my revision. As we are both on my insurance from my employer. They only cover me for this procedure. He has a little GERD and was sleeved a month after my sleeve. We used his insurance. Additionally, he is a cáncer Survivor. I feel alot guilt. However, I must still move forward.

Surgery today: Feeling hopeless
SeattleLady replied to elvira.dark's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Before or after my sleeve, I should have been in counseling. I had too many things going on including grief and loss. I was sick both mentally and physically. I would tell most individuals going through this process; Please seek profesional mental health support. Select someone who has experience with Bartrics.
