Article in Man Repeller Magazine (Mentions Bariatric Pal too!)



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

Hope you had a fantastic holiday and new year! I've been away for a while and just found a message in my inbox today about an interview that I did for Man Repeller magazine. I think she did a great job researching and writing this article and wanted to share it with you all. She also gives BariatricPal a shoutout. :)

I think the other two people in the story may also be from BariatricPal as well, so congrats on your "'press" coverage. lol

Happy New Year, everyone!

I agree. I think she did a really great job presenting weight loss surgery in well-researched and realistic light. I wish she had talked a little more about the long-term successes of it (in my case in particular, I'm nine years out in March and I've kept nearly all of my weight off), but I was still happy with the overall tone of the article.

Congrats on the coverage! I think the article did a pretty decent job discussing the complexities of Weight Loss Surgery. I agree that she could have talked a little more about long term success but from all the articles I've read from non-bariatric patients, this wasn't too bad at all.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
