EvaLynn 3 Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Hey, I am from Russia and I am a DS patient! aww, that was the best thing in my life! It happened on 10 May 2017, I was 147 kg, BMI 51, and now, I am 94 kg and BMI 32 Just imagine how I am happy! Well, Now my progress is very slow, because I eat a lot again My fault, yes. However, I don't gain weight at all. My surgery keep my weight the same even with this awful eating disorder (I know I have to do something with this ) However, when I keep eating on 1200 kkal, I lose weight extremely fast. and! - when I stop it and eat a lot again, my lost kg don't come back! I think it is the only surgery which fits the patients who eats a lot, really --- This is my progress from may (147 KG) till November (105 kg). Soon I am going to visit my surgeon and we make a pic again (click it for full size view!)

Hi!!! I am not a revision, I am 5 weeks out and I've lost 38 lbs total. I had 3 comorbidities... Diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I also have Rheumatoid arthritis. All are resolved, no insulin or pills. I am so happy about that. I am in Burlington NC. My surgeon was Dr Jon Michael Bruce at Bariatric Specialists of NC. I do not regret my decision at all. I hope this helps you. Best of luck on your journey!!! Sent from my SM-G930VL using BariatricPal mobile app 1 GigiNFortWorth reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIPS in Seattle 345 Posted March 15, 2018 I’m a revision band to sips. Didn’t have any comorbidities. I think I’m a slower loser due to revision and if I’m honest I’m not 100% compliant. No complaints though, love my SIPS. 1 GigiNFortWorth reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
