Underage (17) and Bariatrics?
swimbikerun replied to fumplins's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
There have been surgeries and at least a couple studies done on younger people having surgery. Seems the results were quite positive. As the advice given already, check with the insurance, check with as many docs and programs you are able to. They will give you the criteria and help you from there. Best of luck! -

How Many Servings of Fruits and Vegetables Do You Get Each Day?
swimbikerun replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I have always been able to get veggies/fruit in. I do salads most of the days, so I get my 4-5 in. I use beans a lot and those can go for protein and veggies. Great for fiber too! Don't forget your fiber. -
Sport Beans. Dates. Love dates. Naners too.

Has anybody had problems with their gallbladder after the sleeve
swimbikerun replied to allsmiles 43's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes I did. The doc said it was all in my head. Actually it was all in my gallbladder. I suffered for months before he did anything and that was only because he got forced to. -
What sport or competition is for me? I need suggestions
swimbikerun replied to mi75's topic in Fitness & Exercise
All of the above. Weights, some aerobics, can you bike? You can do a bike in the gym. There are tons of things to do now: pylometrics. Swimming is excellent. It is not only a resistance exercise but you can combine it with weights to help. It works all the muscles especially if you do all the strokes. -
Its only a day or two. No problem, its when it goes longer. If Dan Bernandini can do it, you can too!

Did Your Worst Nightmare Come True?
swimbikerun replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I stuck to the pool. Believe it or not, for the most part, if you are swimming laps, no one is going to care on your size. PS Speedos keep everything in and your skin, should it sag, well they compress. Wear them like a competition swimmer does and it helps. -
I had a surgeon like this. I did a 10K 3 weeks and a day after surgery. My slowest one but I did it. What a bunch of stuff ...
-
At least 1x a week. I know some of the vendors, and I grow a lot of my own or buy plants from them. I do a lot of pick your own also.

No # would be published for Mexico but stats like that would probably come from ASMBS. -
You may not need one. You need one to do the bloodwork but any one, an NP or PA even, can order it.
