"Humans are the fattest species on record at birth. A baby human is born with about 15 percent body fat—a higher percentage than any other species in the world. Only a small number of other mammals make it into the double digits at birth: about 11 percent for guinea pigs and around 10 percent for harp seals, for example. Even our nearest primate relatives are not born as fat as we are."

@Frustr8 Why aren't you listing your most current surgery as your surgery date? Just curious.

Well if you're referring to that stinky profile, it's almost all wrong. AND my true facts Starting to seek August 15th 2015, that's when I first met Surgeon #1, the back- stabbing fool that let me go through his program not,once but,twice and then refused me surgery. The second time I returned to HIM , I count as my,Highest weight of 355. Leeft him after he repudiated me and my,efforts,in February 2018, cried, raged and signed into right facility's program March 9th 2018, had my presurgical exam with Dr Needleman 7/17/2018 at 334, went on all-August livershrinking diet, surgery 9/05/2018 at 319, am losing 3-5 pounds weekly, most of time, never stalled because of stricture running my recovery, yesterday morning, after converting back from metric 278.9 pounds. Any,other surgery dates are so erroneous it stinks. Why do I not repair them? Because,i am working off of Android Marshmallow app not computer, every change slides away like eggs on teflon, the profile returns nothing. FYI I have had 2 post- surgery endoscopies and facing another, 10/1218,10/26/18 and 11/09/18. and nothing has worked yet, after 3 failed attempts do they do "open" or am I doing this in perpetuity every 2 weeks? Je Ne Sais, French for IT,Iand of course they are all EGJ because a Bypassers. duodenum no longer visible, only Jejunem. That is a certanity!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
