I have surgery in March as well. I have to do the pre-op for 7 days. My BMI is 36. Dr. requires all their patients to do it to shrink liver to make it easier to manuever when performing surgery. So just depends on the dr.

March 3rd for me

So I met with my surgeon today and asked if it is possible to stretch the sleeve. Her response was "absolutely, you can stretch your sleeve." She went on to say that is how patients gain weight back along with outeating the sleeve. She stated that is why it is important to eat only specified amounts and that some doesn't think 3oz of food will fill you up when in reality it will. But that people are so use to eating more and have a hard time believing that they will be full with such a minimum amount. However, I didn't ask how much it can stretch. It appears that doctors/people take on this topic varies. So since I trust my surgeon, I will take heed to what she says and try to follow the guidelines as closely as possible to insure that I am able to get to my goal weight and successfully maintain. Last thing I want to hear a few years down the line is "I told you so!"

I'm seriously confused. Yea me too...

They may have suggested therapy to her in the hospital and she may not have been receptive to it at that time. With so much editing it is hard to tell the true story of what is really happening. But I agree, definitely in the Black culture, seeing a therapist means that you are "crazy" therefore we are a bit hesitant to the idea. Luckily, that taboo has changed some. I think Dr. Now is just no-nonsense. I am sure he has heard every excuse and now he has a low tolerance for it. I dont get offended when they make the losing weight naturally comment. It takes a lot of dedication and determination to lose weight and keep it off both "naturally and surgically." As far as "Skin Tight" I am very disappointed in their results. I expect Dr. NOW results to be sub par because he isn't a plastic surgeon and it shows. The nipple placement last night were hideous. And the plastic surgeon's results aren't any better. They must not be allowed to do liposuction on the show because they all can benefit from it. They need to be more aggressive and learn how to contour the body. So disappointing for them I'm sure, especially for the females.

Sorry to hear that. I hope its nothing serious!

Wow these threads crack me up. I feel like I am back in high school reading stuff that people post. I havent even had surgery yet but joined this site to see how others adapt and succeed. Instead I see so much negativity and bullying. These are the same people I tell my 21 yr old daughter to avoid. But I think I am going to take a break and find a more positive site as well. I understand that these are people opinions and every one has one but we are also adults and should treat one another as such. I'm really hoping that these are trolls that I am referring to because if they aren't, then there are a lot of unhappy people on this site!

When I met with my PCM last month we had this conversation. She said that she see so many patients that had wls and has gained the weight back. So yes it is definitely possible as @@Babbs has stated.

Everyone? Really? Hmmm... Yea all parties involved. This site really cracks me up.

Celebrities are just like you and me except they have money. It still does not take away their thoughts, feelings and struggles. I often read on this site how people have had surgery and still struggle with head hunger. Yea weight may be reduced but for many the urge is still there. I can't fault anyone for their struggle. Hell how many personal trainers have I paid and lbs have I lost. If I want to hire a personal chef I can but that will not reduce my urge to have unhealthy foods. Many celebrities struggle with their weight. Like someone mentioned Kirstie Alley. It just shows you that they are real and have the same struggles that we do. Weight watchers is in it to make a profit and hey if Oprah is who bring in the big bucks then why not. Even if Oprah isnt successful, look how many people will join because of her. If people lose weight, become healthier, live longer because of Oprah's promotion then everyone wins.

I got this done last year. At least your results were good. I was about 170 lbs but 49% body fat. Need less to say I felt like a marshmallow when I left by just hearing the body fat percentage. But also made me realize I needed to make some changes.
