Why the negativity around Gastric Plication?
chelan replied to huberm's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
Is anyone out there suffering from gerd? -
I mean hungry lol. In Hungary they prob are hungry.
-
Hi Thanks what is BM sorry I am so ignorant? Are you hungary now?
-
ok thanks but the surgery obviousley stops the hunger so you can diet correct?
-
and that was hillarious by the way haha
-
omg really so did you have the sleeve or gastric bypass or next question are you at least skinny?
-
ok I get it everyone is doing great no complications its like getting a tooth pulled really? I hardly think getting a tooth pulled compares to invasive surgery. If we compare things it needs to be apples to apples and not oranges to apples. I just wonder why everyone needs to over compensate regarding how great and easy this surgery is. Its only making me more apprehensive as I would really like to get this surgery but not at all costs. I have gerd now and its horrible. I would just like some real honesty from posters not bs. If its hard I want to know why? The poster who said her doctor said you will not die from this surgery and you think he is so great who is your doctor so I can go to him I realize Sue is exagerrating and really negative but I dont want the comlete opposite either just the truth please.

I should have mentioned I have male pattern hair loss, all the women in my family have it. My Mother was almost bald by 50. I am not sure my hair would come back if I lost it. I am taking supplements right now which are really helping. I have new hair coming in even if it is terribly kinky. I think being a bald women is worse than being a fat woman. The very worst is being bald and fat though lol!

Why were you rushed to the hospital, you have never really explained what caused it? -

It sounds weird my stomach is too big to fold in half, and yes I see there are complications what kind of surgery did you have? -
how ever she says she has a friend who weighs 555 lbs and 48 of her friends died from wls now that is obviousely a lie. who even has 48 friends?
-
she does talk about the gastric sleeve and she has had gastric bypass surgery herself?
-
I am not sure but some of what she says makes sense. i think she had a bad personal experience. If you are unable to get enough nutrients I am sure you will probalby lose your hair and perhaps you could even lose your teeth and it could affect your heart and what if your hunger returns worse than ever after 5 years? I am not sure now if I am going to do the surgery I'm scared.

omg so scary -
The doctor that I am thinking of going to said you dont lose your hair with the sleeve only gastric bypass is this true? I am also worried about my teeth and gums and my heart?
-
So am I to understand that you loose your hair? I already suffer from hairloss. I am trying to decide whether to do the surgery or not?

chelan replied to huberm's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
I am still trying to find out what it is? Is it different then then the gastric sleeve? -
Yes Thank You but then what is the point I do not get it? Why not just do the lifestyle changes and then you will loose weight regardless what is the point of spending all that money on the surgery? Am I missing something here? I mean look at Carnie Wilson. What does the surgery actually do for you.
-
people keep telling me not to get lapband surgery because you put the weight back on again. Can anyone tell me if this is true? Also that you are still hungry?
-
Will I still be hungary and why do people regain their weight
chelan posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi I am considering lap band surgery but I have a few questions. My problem is I am always starving so I am wondering does it stop the hunger? If you have to change you're eating habits why not just do that without paying $$$$ for the surgery? What if I cannot change my eating habits which so far I have not been able to do? What do I do with all my loose flab I am 59 yrs old is that too old for the surgery? In British Columbia how do you get medical to cover the cost of the sugery? I mean 35 days of liquids now thats harsh and impossible for me do you really have to do that and why? Help I am tired of being hungary its expensive! -
There is nothing wrong with you other than you need to like you're self and quit the self hatred talk, be nice to you're self. I am sorry but I don't get it I am not wasting my money on the surgery because I thought it was supposed to stop the hunger. I am overweight because I am always starving. I mean if you have to eat the way they say why would you need surgery. You would loose weight anyway. Surgery cannot change the way you eat total waste of money. Can someone answer the question does it stop the hunger and why do people gain all the weight back?
