    Did my surgeon change my surgery????

    Actually you are incorrect, all WLS at this point is Endoscopic unless there are issues/complications that require an "open" surgery. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/minimally_invasive_robotic_surgery/types.html Non-robotic minimally invasive surgery is also known as endoscopic surgery. You also may be familiar with terms like laparoscopic surgery, thoracoscopic surgery, or “keyhole” surgery. These are minimally invasive procedures that utilize an endoscope to reach internal organs through very small incisions.

    This would make me loose my job. I'm working on having a filter, but this would be unavoidable. Truly.

    I’m not sure if you are a man or woman or how old you are. Could it be a hot flash? (That’s what it sounds like to me!)

    Fat Shaming

    I had an unsettling situation occur last week when I was at a work related conference. I was with about 6 other ladies when they started being disrespectful about the weight of another attendee. I was stunned! I immediately thought 'how could they say this stuff in front of me?' I just looked looked around at them in shock. Then it dawned on me; they think I'm one of them! They didn't know that 9 months ago I was her size. I felt like a closeted fat person. A fraud. I came to her defense but they weren't having it. That fat girl just needs to diet and exercise, etc. Everything I've heard my entire life. This was the first time I've ever been in this type of situation. Hopefully I can handle myself better in the future. I feel like I have to stand up for my sisters! Any suggestions on how to handle these types of situations?

    Maybe just say the next time That is not nice and you do not know her story because EVERY one has one. I always feel that people who bad mouth others do it to make themselves feel better about their insecurities. Also next time tell them that you are going to pray for them and walk away. Poof be gone!!

    You are going to get so sick of protein shakes that I strongly recommend not starting sooner than necessary. Instead I would second @skinnylife and follow the real food stage plan with very low carb and high protein.

    Gallbladder Removal Question?

    FYI, a probiotic worked wonderfully for me after I had mine removed. Inbox me for more info if you want to know what I use.

    Gallbladder Removal Question?

    Some do, some done. This is 100% a case by case thing. For me, I had gallstones before bypass, so I didn't need to take any of the gallstone medication. My stones were not severe enough to warrant removal of my gallbladder. So far, just shy of 6 months out, no issues with my gallbladder. So, if things keep working out this way, I won't have to have it removed. But there are folks that do have to have it removed during surgery and some folks have to have it removed after surgery.
