But your life isn’t over. You are only 30. As frustrating as it is with surgery there are potential complications, that’s why we sign consents to let surgeons operate on us. There are no guarantees that each of us will tolerate the operation the same. You cannot predict what will happen to you after surgery. There are many risks to remaining obese as well. The only thing you can do now is focus on healing and following your diet guidelines. Not all people that have complications have them forever, so don’t get stuck in a negative way of thinking that what you are experiencing now will last the rest of your life. Start on miralax for the constipation. Not pooping can make you miserable. Work on meeting the fluid goals. One day at a time. If you continue to have issues maybe it is prudent to have a second opinion.

If you follow him on Facebook or Instagram he gives away a lot of his books for free. Two are attached.

I knew that having to take vitamins was part of the deal of getting the surgery, but there are sooooo many! I mean, if it'll keep me healthy, I'll do it. I'll just complain about it a little lol

Taking each day one at a time.

I had a one day food funeral, four meals, all of my favorite fast food, 4,000 calories, and spent the night miserable with a stomach ache. It wasn't worth it for me. Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app

They had to make sure that you knew that it wasn't their fault! Leaving the scene of the crime is a sure sign of guilt.

It looks like this study had a very small sample size of only 5 patients. It does not compare the success of those patients against control patients who did not have the lap band placed after VSG. Therefore we can't know if the lap band is what enabled those patients to lose more weight or if it was another factor.

Interesting. Seems the real problem may be to find a doctor to do it.
