First of all talk to them like adults. There's no shame in surgery. If they are curious just say you had some issues with health and you need to get better and best way is surgery to get the weight off. Try not to make it seem like you're ashamed otherwise it may make them feel bad if or when they have weight issues Be open honest involve them

Aren't you meant to be on Liquids for the first 3 weeks

Why bother with bands... So old technology mate do your research

That's ok but the regain comes down to the person's commitment and how well they follow the rules, you can regain with any procedures.. It comes down to motivation and commitment and determination. Good luck.

Yes the DS combines both surgeries but it is much more intense, will be made to take numerous vitamins everyday 3x a day, you will risk malnutrition because of the extreme malabsorption, obviously you will lose quicker but there have been people on DS that have gone below their goal and ended up heading towards anorexia! The RNY is pretty much inbetween VSG and DS, I really hope you do more research before you make final decision!

Hello folks. I'm new to this whole fitness tracker technology. I keep hearing about how good and how handy this devices are. I would love to know more about them if anybody has any experience to share and a vote on which is best? I want something to track all my steps, calories burned, heart rate, sleeping, any movements, possible to sync with mobile phone? I've heard some play music, some show text messages and notification? Some have alarms to wake up? Really looking into getting one to fit my big wrists and to keep myself motivated and track my daily life once I have the surgery! Tnx for all your input! P.s currently looking at fit bit 3 or Samsung gear fit Pro 2

Thanks for that

As long as you blend very good

I've found Swisse multivitamins on sale And centrum

They are pretty strict

Totally agree I'll be 35 when I get my RNY in few months and hopefully it will extend both our lives I want 50 more years plz! Tnx

That's great 6.5 months later still not hungry... Love it

DO YOU GET HUNGRY

Hey how far out are you? Did you get lucky where you're not very hungry? Do you still get full quickly? Have you changed the foods you enjoy?

I was talking to @jazzy1125

That's a huge effort.. what's your exercise regime like? After bypass did you feel hungry or not?

Good work, can I ask your pre surgery weight? Tnx

Excellent work, what was your start weight mate?

If It's prepacked or canned it will contain sugars and carbs unless it's raw fruit, no reason to deliberately overwork your sleeve so early.... It's Not going to help you..

Lots of Information here, you should be taking each step by step MBS-Roux-n-Y.pdf

Hey even if you do want to be skinny that's your prerogative, but honestly I'm sure most people will tell you it's more about our health and future, it's your body!

Yep very high glucose levels diabetes; high cholesterol, high BP, BMI over 40 anyway!

Very weird, I've heard about needing a minimum BMI sure but not having to stay the same.. yes if you go too low you won't qualify but if you gain weight that would show you need help and need surgery...

That death is like one in a million
