    Pounds lost

    Results vary every 'body' is different I've seen people at 6 months lose between 50 and 100lbs constantly. You must commit 150% to the diet guidelines and include some form of exercise to see best results! The surgery is a tool bit it's up to you to utilise it as best you can!!

    Loop Duodenal Switch

    I wanted DS BUT nobody in my home state offered it and couldn't afford to travel or stay In hotels for weeks so I'm going for RNY which I think will help me enough because I've only got 140 max excess weight

    Pre-OP Diet Blues

    Yes I think you need to make decision for yourself Just to put off a few cookouts at this stage to make sure you don't mess it up...

    Bariatric Support

    Lucky for me I've been on my own since I left home at 15.. Sure I have familyand friends but don't rely on anyone. I've learnt to be strong to only rely on yourself and of course you can ask ppl for support or to talk to but at the end of the day this is your life.. Nobody else's!!!
  10. No history of mental illness and I had Echo CardioGram done few months ago with local Dr.

    The Forbidden Craves

    Too true like also when they openly say they been fat since like 5 years old.... Why did nobody intervene? Parents..grandparents..school..doctor..nobody did anything at all.. Poor child Just for bigger and bigger every year... Another one confused me.. Young girl was I think 21; 600lb Massive lymphodemia.. Could barely move yet her sister was like perfect maybe 130lbs... How can one child be near death and the other fit and healthy.... So much sadness in that show...
  13. Nope They said they are no nonsense surgery and the blood work is all I've been asked I guess I'll find out at the next meeting.. But I made few calls originally top different surgeries and choose the surgeon with less hurdles on purpose.. There was another one local to me that had multiple other people involved but also added costs...
  14. So true you have to be very strong willed.confident personality.you have to be completely self reliant as ONLY you can make this work. You cannot make excuses once you have surgery.. I know someone who got surgery within 4 weeks of consultation... It happens..

    The Forbidden Craves

    Yes it's depressing and sad how some of them are so delusional "oh I only eat once a day lol" Then they lie.cheat.hide food from family and loved ones.. They repeatedly waste the Drs time.. And their family just continuously sit Back and feed them the junk killing them.. One episode this lady ate probably 6 times a day huge meals every meal takeaway like how do they afford it number 1? The whole car ride to Houston just stuffing their faces with Crap!

    Over the counter vitamins?

    Just go to supermarket or chemist whichever has the best deal. I use 2 different multivitamin either Centrum or Swisse; there's no rule that says you have to use specific bariatric brands... I look for whatever is on sale but also which has got most vitamins for the price... You have to take multivitamins everyday for life so it does add up

    Bariatric surgery was a big mistake

    ^^^ so true @Hop_Scotch I've been reading 100s of posts, multiple forums and probably another 100hrs of medical research articles before I decided to go through with this procedure and I'm 3+ months away from surgery and still reading more every day!

    Bariatric surgery was a big mistake

    Appears you were not mentally ready for the challenge ahead. That's fine not everyone is suited to such a drastic change in their lives. But still there are 1000s of people who have changed their life for the better even if it meant making some sacrifices here and there! & weight watchers, Jenny Craig and any of those companies are ALL FOR PROFIT!!! NEITHER of those companies guarantee success without HARD WORK and DEDICATION as well!!!
