I should have just shut my mouth....
VSGDavid replied to saramelie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Ok. So I know you’re frustrated. It let me tell you what I did. I also have BED. My program required me to see a psych for approval. Being in the medical field I already knew they would be looking for eating disorders. I lied to my psych. I chose the right answers on the paperwork that led to an outcome that had the psychiatrist approve my surgery. in 2018 I had VSG. Lost 170 pounds. in march of 2020 I started regaining. (Yay Covid) Once I started regaining my BED kicked in and I regained 70 pounds. In short trust the process work through your BED and know that you aren’t to blame for being truthful. I which I had been. -

7 Years after VSG Gastric Sleeve Weight Gain/Loss
VSGDavid replied to JinnChan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yep. I had surgery in 2018. Lost 172 pounds. March 2020 hit and I started regaining. I regained 60# of the weight I lost. I’m back on the road to fixing it now (16# lost from highest regain) I kept telling myself it’s not that bad. It’s only 10#. And it kept snowballing. Very discouraging, but it happens. -

VSGDavid replied to BQT's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't, they're much too heavy, and the number of calories is a huge turn off.
