Been doing this process for a year now! Out of Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston) Weight Center. Was considering the band,bypass now this. My BMI is only 44.. Im nervous. I have a consultation with a surgeon in July. Any advice been battling weight my whole. I. 26.Well there is a huge history so thats why im concerned ... I don't and didn't drink alcohol anyway. It was prescription. But I guess these days you can have transferred addictions to anything! Just because you take the food away (substance) doesn't mean your problems are solved! it allll centers in the mind!!! Thanks for the feedback guysThey say its a possibility. And patients with addiction are at higher risk of relapse. I personally I have been abstinent for 3 yrs! Thank you Jesus but of course im still at risk.. after the surgery your body absorption reacts differently to substances.. (prescriptions,Alcohol etc )Has any developed drug or alcohol problems prior to surgery? My doctor say its a big possibility for surgery patients?Ooo@losing it for me... what was your experience with the band?!For someone who's about 5'3" 5'4" and 250lbs not many health issue's.. do you think it would be better to get the band,bypass, or sleeve? I haven't gotten approval from my insurance yet. Im worried there gonna say I've lost to much weight in the past year on my own through the nutrition and therapy.What's draining? New to this site bare with me?!!Have my appointment tomorrow! ill grt a better idea on when we will put in for my prescription(surgery)!Im new to all this. Been a year so far! Ive lost a good amount of weight pre surgery with my nutritionist for shrinking of the liver. I have been physiologically cleared. Im now waiting for my doctors appointment for my insurance clearance out of Massachusetts General Hospital. Here to ask questions and share my journey with you all! Trying to decided what procedure would be best. I don't have diabetes although I do have P.C.O.S. .. looking for expirence,strength and hope! God BlessHow long were your per op classes before you had your surgery?
