summerset 5,265 Posted March 16, 2017 Very interesting, thank you. I'm a revision from band to MGB because of reflux issues and a migrating band and I have to say it is very different now! Wish I had done this way, way, WAY sooner! (I was afraid of having surgery again. Should have done it sooner but it's always easy to say that after everything went ok.) I wonder how it will feel after being 2, 3, 7 years out. Quote “Surgeons often talk about bariatric surgery as a tool. You have to follow all these instructions,” Dr. Seeley said. It only works, they tell patients, if they follow a diet and exercise program. “My message is that the rats don’t appear to do it that way. They don’t know it’s a tool. They just naturally change lots of things in the way they relate to food.” Definitely worth a quote. 1 IveGotThePower reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IveGotThePower 395 Posted March 16, 2017 Agreed. Found that interesting as well. And this is not the only place where I read that most people will loose no matter what they di in the beginning. 1 summerset reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to know as well (or maybe rather not?) - I think I've reached that point, stalling for several weeks now. No tendency to gain but also not losing. However, I'm still not back to my usual physical activity. First the prolonged shoulder problems (still bothering me) and just a few days after I started running again and biking to work again since the streets are no longer slippery because of low temperatures I lie more or less flat on my back with a cold. I only need a few kg more to reach normal weight so I'm not really sweating it but I guess a lot of people on here know what I mean: we want these last 5 or 6 kg! (even though the surgeons are already raving about us being successful) 1 IveGotThePower reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IveGotThePower 395 Posted March 17, 2017 When people say it is just calories in calories out I think....not so much. There is so much more involved. In my experience, the changes in addition to weight loss are difficult for people who have not experienced these changes to understand. I have all but given up on trying to throw some actual statical facts out there to people who haven't had wls, because they just cannot comprehend it. 1 OutsideMatchInside reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
