How can you be successful long-term with WLS if you’ve always failed
meggs353 posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I’ve read over and over again that WLS is not a magic bullet. It takes dedicated, sustained lifestyle changes. But, if we can’t maintain those changes (eliminate carbs, low calorie diet, avoid trigger foods) before surgery, how can we expect to maintain them after surgery? I’m thinking long term here: 5, 10, 15 years after surgery when the magic of weight loss is gone and it’s just daily life. If I can’t stop eating now, how could I expect that to change in 10 years? Really looking for help here. I had lap band surgery in 2014 and I weigh 15lbs more than my highest pre-surgery weight. I gained back all weight I lost and more, and have the same bad habits. I’m thinking of revising to gastric bypass, but I’m wondering if I’ll just fail again. BUT, if I can theoretically make a sustained life-style change post-surgery, why can’t I actually just do that now? (I try, every single day, and I fail week after week). I feel like it’s possible or impossible. If surgery doesn’t make it easy, what benefit does it have beyond short term (1-3 year) weight loss? -
I've been told I am one of those "faster losers", so I got to goal at around 7 months (127lbs, 108lbs lost at the time). I lost a little bit more after that, gained after a vacation in september, lost it, gained these recent 6lbs, lost it again. I went as low as 109 lbs (too small!!) and as high as 121 lbs (over my acceptable limit!!) in that time period. Today I am at 115 (total 120 lbs lost). 115-120 is my happy place. It does get a little bit more challenging the further out we are. I mean, losing 10 lbs off a 230 lb body is waaaaaayyyy easier than losing 10 lbs off a 130 lb body. Just keep on going, it will be slower yes, but if you make an honest effort ad stick to it, it will come off a little by little. It does get discouraging when the visible results are not as dramatic, so I get it. Maybe keep track of your body measurements? Sometimes you'll lose inches and not lbs. Also, I find that looking at old pictures of myself and seeing how far I've come to be a great motivator.

It seems to be pretty common for people to be active on forums (and in post-op support groups for that matter) for a year or two and then disappear. They've just moved on with their lives and don't feel like they really need it anymore, I guess. I stick around because it keeps my head in the game - and there are a few of us still around here, I'm guessing for the same reason - but most people do disappear after awhile. And not just on this forum - I've seen it on others and....as I mentioned...in post-op in-person support groups, too. I'm battling with losing a 10-lb gain. I've always monitored myself really closely (weighed myself several times a week and track every bite of food that I eat), so I just cut back on calories by about 200/day and increased my exercise. It works, but it's S-L-O-W going. But then, I'm 4 lbs overweight (according to the BMI charts), so I wasn't expecting any huge, quick drops. One-two lbs a month was about what I expected - unless I was willing to drop to sub-1000 calories or something, which I wasn't... regain once you're a few years out is pretty common. The trick is to catch it and deal with it before it gets out of hand. There are some vets who've had success with programs such as WW, Keto, and IF - so you could always try one of those if your current method isn't doing the trick. Lots of people have managed to re-lose their regains, so it can be done!

Any new surgery dates yet?
PuddinJasper replied to It's time.'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Soooo....my surgeon requires a COVID-19 test done prior to my surgery in 5/15. I had it done yesterday. MY GOD. With everything going on right now...patients are not allowed in the medical offices here for testing. It was done in my car. I'm gripping the steering wheel..the inside roof of my car!! It was THE most horrible medical experience I've ever had to date. I really can't find the words. When it was over...I cried all the way home. Driving and crying. It felt like a bleach and ammonia dipped hot pencil was stuck up my nose and into my brain! I swear its not an exaggeration. I just wanted to vent. I am hoping that I test negative. I have only been outside of my house twice and did everything I could to prevent my risk of exposure. It's MY time! -
Hi all - I just found this forum and am trying to make a decision and thought it would be good to get insight from those who have actually gone through this. I have been researching surgery for quite some time and am ready to do it. I have it narrowed down to two options. My insurance excludes anything weight related so i am strictly self pay and thus limited financially. Here are my two options: Angeles Hospital Tijuana - Approved and preliminarily scheduled for July 10. Hospital reviews are primarily great from what i have seen. Slight language barrier. Surgeon Juan Corvala seems to have a lot of clout in the industry and rave reviews. Downsides are lack of follow-up but that would be the case for Blossom as well since I live in Indiana. Time spent is roughly the same. This one has 2 nights in the hospital followed by one night at a hotel before traveling home. Blossom Fast Track - Have been preapproved and received the financial piece and it is to the penny the same as Angeles. I started researching Angeles because I came across some very negative reviews on Blossom but reading this forum, these reviews are all great. So now i'm wondering what time frames all of the reviews i have seen are from. Seems to be a "safer" option to remain in the US and less paperwork (passport, etc). Anyone actually been to one of these two facilities within the last 6 months or so that can tell me your experience so i can weigh the options and make an informed decision? Thanks!

Hi!!!!! So I am 10 days shy of 2 years post op... Lately with this pandemic and quarantine I have gained approx. 8 lbs from March 13th to the present day. I know that I am eating more out of boredom and being home alongside the fact that I am a snacker always have been before and after the surgery.. My biggest concern though is cheese. Lately I have been on a cheese kick.. any type of bagged shredded cheese that I can eat a small handful of at a time. Peccorino Romano grated cheese I can eat by the small handful.. It's so weird to me.. Like I liked cheese before however never ate it like this. There are days that I can literally eat just handfuls of cheese throughout the day in replace of actual meals or other foods.. Is this normal? Am I lacking Vitamin D or salt.. What are your thoughts? Any feedback welcome..

Yep, I get it. I understand a lot of people believe it is either sugar, fat or carbs,,,,,,but my body does it with lots of things, and I get the exact symptoms catwoman7 mentioned above......plus severe cramps and it all happens within 10-20 minutes of eating. I've been having better days recently, I am 11 weeks out today. I get it with food I have eaten before and have been okay with. I have been told I just have to ride it out......other than low potassium and continual dehydration my surgery/insides are perfect! You are certainly not alone! Loz

(sleeved 11/15/2019) TMI I know ... But does anyone have dumping syndrome with anything they eat ?! Anything I eat, my body is like NOPE and dumping happens.. I eat only certain foods because most things make me nauseous so I'm only eating like grilled chicken and some veggies (ones I can handle ) and my body still dumps everything... I've told my surgeon and the nurse said to just keep track of what I eat. I have. And I do. They also don't know why a lot of foods make me extremely sick.. anyone else have this issue ?!

You gained 10 pounds since surgery?

600 kcal a day at five years out is REALLY low. Maintenance for most people is somewhere in the 1200-1500 range (fortunately, for me it's more like 1700). Have you been eating 600 calories all along? Most of us just eat at that level the first year post-op. I can lose if my intake is 1500 or fewer calories - but of course that's going to be different for everyone. Weight loss is supposedly 80% diet and 20% exercise, so losing is going to be more impacted by food choices than exercise (although exercise helps somewhat - and it's GREAT for general health). I wouldn't necessarily cut back on strength training. It doesn't burn many calories, and some people gain a few lbs when they first start (usually less than five lbs - and that's usually temporary), but in the long term it does increase your metabolism. When I want to lose, I try to go back to the basics - protein first, then vegetables, and then if I have room, maybe a small serving of fruit or whole-grain carb. I also figure out how many calories I'm averaging a day (and you can do this by tracking your intake for a few days, if you're not already doing that), and then cut back about 100 calories. If after a couple weeks nothing happens, then cut another 100. Rinse and repeat. But if you're truly only eating 600 kcal a day, I would NOT cut back from that. That's too low as it is. are you getting enough protein? Drinking enough fluids? also, keep in mind that if you're at or near a normal BMI, that last 20 lbs can be a BEAR to lose. I've been on a mission to lose 10 these last couple of months, and I can only manage to eke out about 2 lbs a month. That may be what you're dealing with as well..

Thank you for replying. I am 5’2. I weighed 254 October 8 2019 on the day of my surgery. My health issues are PTSD and COPD. I don’t have pictures but my pant size has gone from a 20 to a 12. I do a little exercise with bands. I also bought a Cubii elliptical this past week. I track my food on the app Baritastic. I also track my steps.

Duloxetine/Cymbalta after Gastric Bypass

Losing my hair! Anyone else, and what can help??
Arabesque replied to IAmGrace's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctors said the surgery & sudden reduced food intake is a shock to our system and one of the side effects is that our normal hair loss cycle accelerates. My dietician advised there was nothing much that could be done except keep up my multivitamins & ensure I meet my protein requirements. Biotin, silica, collagen, & other supplements to benefit your hair will only make your new growth stronger & not reduce the hair loss. Your hair itself is dead and regularly sheds like our skin cells. It’s just happening faster. My loss began at about month 3 and started to slow at about month 10. It’s pretty well back to normal now & I can feel it’s thickening again. I lost a good 50% of my hair. Thank gracious I had a lot of it to begin with. -

Gastric sleeve with Blossom Bariatrics
Everything replied to mobroke's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I called them once - I was confused by that process. If the procedure isn’t covered then it would be cheaper for me to go to local and pay 10,000 versus 15,500. There are at least three good surgeons in Florida that are in the $10-$11,000 range! -
Losing my hair! Anyone else, and what can help??
catwoman7 replied to IAmGrace's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1) hair loss is pretty common, but temporary. Mine started in month 5 and went on for about three months. It'll grow back. 2) weight loss slows down quite a bit after the first month. I lost 10-12 lbs per month during months 2-6. At about the six-month mark, it dropped down to about 5-8 lbs a month. So that is normal. I started out at 373 lbs and lost over 200 lbs, so a decrease in weight loss the further out you get doesn't mean you won't ultimately get to your goal. Just stick to your plan since your level of commitment will have the greatest impact on your final results. -

This was also a big fear of mine. I've been taking a biotin supplememt daily since surgery 1/31 and haven't noticed hair loss (yet). I also only wash my hair once a week since I'm working from home. https://www.iherb.com/pr/sports-research-biotin-with-organic-coconut-oil-10-000-mcg-120-veggie-softgels/71104 -
I know! People have been warning me not to get discouraged with stalls. I mean I suppose the last 10 years have been on big ass stall lol! It helps to talk to people like you and know that this is a normal part of the journey. Besides, I suppose it’s better to have a slow steady constant loss then no loss at all:)

Hey. I’m 33. I didn’t have the sleeve but had the bypass and can give you what I know so far from it. I had surgery on 2/19/20. They went in and found some kind of rare hernia that they said could be very fatal if it had not been found so they had to do a lot work to that area. My doctor said that my recovery would be a little worse than normal because of it. I don’t take to anesthesia very well. As soon as I woke up, I was definitely in pain and let them know. I guess they fixed it cause I passed back out right away. This happened pretty much the rest of that first day of surgery. I would wake up in pain, they would give me more meds in my IV, and I would go right back out. I didn’t get up to walk until the next day. I wasn’t able to do much at a time but I did what I could. I had to stay 3 nights in the hospital. I had a very hard time getting my liquids in and I still do to this day. Once I got home, I stopped taking pain meds and felt decent. I was definitely sore but it was very doable. I was not able to start eating soft foods until week 4. Until then, I was having a really hard time getting in my protein and I felt really tired and week most of the day. By week 6, I was doing much better. Today, I feel great! I’ve lost 55 pounds and I am feeling it! I can’t answer your questions on the loose skin as I’m not to that point yet but I honestly don’t care. I do plan on getting a tummy tuck done and maybe a couple other things once I get to where I need to be but I really think I would rather deal with the loose skin than being morbidly obese and at a BMI of 50!!! I’m able to play more with my children and actually keep up with them! My husband and I are able to do “more” if you can get my meaning. Life is just so much better and I still have a significant amount of weight to lose! Good luck with your surgery.

How and when to resume bariatric surgery in the COVID-19 era.

Coping with Stress During COVID-19: What Bariatric Patients Need to Know
PollyEster replied to PollyEster's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Ditto on both counts for me as well, even though I am about to run out of TP and still can't find any in my city. Since you work in the healthcare profession, I expect that either directly or indirectly, you've been deeply affected by covid-19. I'm a biologist with a secure job and career, but also a long-time volunteer in the field of end of life care. The nature of my volunteer work hasn't changed lately, but the volume of patients we’re seeing and the environment in which we’re caring for them has been meaningfully altered. The pandemic does not allow the luxury of time with my patients and their relatives. News is broken quickly, visitors and families are largely absent, faces are obscured by masks and visors, and more people are dying alone. The atmosphere in hospitals and hospices is taking an emotional toll on us all. Perhaps you’re experiencing something similar at work, as well. I'm grateful that my WLS surgery is in the rear-view mirror (or I’d be worrying about access to enough fresh foods, since pre-op I ate 3lbs of raw veg and fruit daily), but still not too far away, as I remain relatively uninterested in food (cooking and food science used to take up a lot of my free time and without a doubt I'd be doing way too much cooking and eating right now if I hadn't had surgery). I still have to work hard to adhere to a strict eating and exercise schedule, but I'm at ease with that and view this is a beneficial intensive training period that will serve me well over the long-term. Like you, I embrace this as an opportunity to learn more about myself and others. One of the few consolations of the coronavirus is the possibility that it could (eventually) lead to some progressive economic and political changes. I find it (somewhat) helpful to frequently remind myself that none of what we are experiencing right now is permanent. Please take care, and stay as safe as you possibly can. -
Thank you all, I feel much better reading these responses; I was right to share this concern. I am not sure if I am technically on track, but will make an effort to find out. I am pulling out all the stops for the first week of May with water, protein, carb and calorie counting, etc, that will make it easier to recalculate. I use Silk protein milk with protein powder for breakfast, 8 oz of that stuff adds 10 grams of protein! The covid freak out has made me a little lax, but it also made me realize how I use food as a crutch, and I don't like it and don't want to be there again. I was slow loosing, and then it did come to a grinding halt for several weeks, and that is when the frustration mounted. I had not taken my height into account for the creation of a calorie deficit, I will look into that. I like to watch "My 600 lb Life" to keep things in perspective- those folks are facing the same issues as I am and they would probably be overjoyed to "only" need to drop 50-60 pounds. So right to try to focus on the victory so far. I can't speak for anyone else, but I was always subjected to negative conduct, so learning to keep my head up is something new. My job is a foolish place- and I work for a health care company! Thank you, thank you! 😘
