In the concession line at the movies remembering nothing tastes as good as making good choices is... essential! No popcorn for me!

Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

You do know you're allowed to bring your own food I've never ever bought popcorn myself

Ok that's not nice. The prices are extortion sorry I'm in Australia and I've never had any issue with bringing my own backpack in they may look but no issue unless alcohol of course.

If you're a family and you buy food and drinks it can cost $100s to go cinemas otherwise!

Plus if you're eating healthy you can't eat there so why not bring fruit or tuna or something before hand?

They get very cranky and sometimes evict you from the premises and deny,you further access to their facility. My college team that I support and I had my bariatric surgery in their hospital on campus, Ohio State University, will not allow umbrellas in the football stadium. Crazy laws formulated by crazy politicians and the ones we were dumb enough to vote for. Pfft I often would like them to disappear in a puff of noxious smoke!

Because movie theaters don't make money on tickets, they make it on concessions.

You have the option to just not eat or drink. It's 2-3 hours, not a 12 hr flight.

(Many people do sneak food in, and as long you're discreet it's generally not an issue)

First, that's not true

Second, if that were true, it would be a policy not a law

Third, what does any of that have to do with popcorn at movie theaters, and making good food choices?

Not a whole lot but just another silly policy. Maybe a bad example?

      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.
