God Forbid a group of people who have carried the stigma of Fat Hate and self negative emotions all their life, might contain a troll in need of any attention he can rustle up. I literally have not found a negative reference, and I am fine with that!

Long story. They had poor support groups for RnY and Band, but nada for VSG. He is the local expert for sleeve so it seemed unusual. I was told in RnY meeting by leader, that if I "wanted to have my stomach pulled out through a whole in my belly, go ahead!" Long struggle to establish Sleeve support went unheard.

One of the reasons people choose Sleeve is because the medication problems are virtually non-existent, as the stomach is still a stomach and not a pouch. Drs. often have no idea the difference between sleeve and other types.

The biggest mistake I made was alienating my surgeon's group and then leaving. Later, when it was time for maintenance assistance, they refused to see me, and no other Dr would touch me. Many things that people dislike before surgery are so important, even though yours sounds a bit excessive. Listen, EVERYBODY needs to slow down before surgery. Take into account that everything you do before surgery will benefit or harm yourself after surgery.

Seroquel causes such hunger, I could not take it, if not for XR. Along with Metformin XR, it balances out, and I have had much less cravings. Where were you told no XR for sleeve?

I'm gay and 20 months out. -140#I am a bear which makes me wonder where I will fit in the community! rd

Whatever you do, don't quit your surgeon, unless he or she is doing something criminal or unethical. I did and my GP was great until it came to maintenance. I was two years out and NO docs in the area will see me and I can't access their teams! Not even my GP can get me into any bariatric service in all of Atlanta! Make your obligatory visits, and discuss your concerns. Or don't. Just keep them around in case you need them. :-) rd
