Aren't all these bariatric procedures just a tool to be used along with new food choices and exercise to have long term weight loss? I didn't think that the procedures alone we're going to be the answer.

There's nothing worse then former smokers who cough like crazy when they see someone smoking, former drunks that think they have found all the answers about alcohol, and former fattys that sneer at us who remain overweight or choose a way to live longer by having surgery. I feel sorry for Chuck I think he's lonely.

I agree with you Dub. I want WLS too be a tool to go along with everything I need to do to lose weight then most importantly, keeping it off. To be given a second chance to live healthy is going to be a blessing. This is not going to be easy but I'm being realistic that I will lose weight but it will come back on without a serious commitment to do this right.

I haven't had WLS yet just starting the process. Does anyone that had a rny have problems with food getting stuck in a too small outlet?

I drank pretty heavy before my "stomach stapling" back in 1982 and after, I went down hill fast then sobered up 6 months after. I met several gastric bypass pts. when I was in treatment (I had a serious relapse after 26 years of sobriety). Unfortunately I gained my weight back and looking at a roux n y after years of trying to get this weight off again. Just know it is out there and be on guard.

People are allowed to their opinion, however occasionally I wonder if this is the easy way out also. I look around at people that are able to lose weight on their own and wonder if they'll be able to keep it of. With gastric bypass I have a better chance of keeping weight off long term something I've never been able to do. I have come to realize that I don't need anyone's approval but sure would like their support as I start this journey. It took me a long time to come to this point.

I'm going to NYC!!!!

before I had my gastric bypass I drank often. After surgery when I drank again i got drunk much faster. I soon discovered that I was an alcoholic and stopped drinking any alchohol of any kind. I discovered when in alchohol treatment several other people that also had a bypass done. Be careful and be aware when you drink the amts you drink and reasons for drinking. For me food was not my only addiction.
