Bariatric journey Multiple procedures Since 2001 Long-term post-op

  1. Same here. MGB works so much better than the band for me (though in 2001 nobody even talked about MGB here in Germany). I wish I hadn't postponed revision for so long. Seems like I'm not the only one though.
  2. It depends a lot on how many years a patient suffers from diabetes. The pancreas does wear out over the years after all. Some patients never will go into full remission, some go into remission for a few months and have to start taking meds again.
  3. Much to my surprise I didn't have much problems adapting to the smaller portions. Sure, I sometimes regret not being able to gorge myself on food like when you're invited to a fancy dinner or something like that. But how many times a year does this happen? 10 times? If that. 10 days out of 365 days is nothing. Unfortunately you'll only know for sure if you were ready for change after you had WLS and are faced with the facts.
  4. True. Difficulty breathing that early out could also have been pulmonary embolism. Patients shouldn't fool around with symptoms like troubled breathing.
  5. If it doesn't subsist within the next few days you should see your surgeon about it. I noticed some diarrhea myself after eating different foods than usual during vacation but it took a few days of different eating to have an effect. I've become sensitive to this, but I have MGB.
  6. double post for some reason
  7. No, it's either about 15-20 min later or a few hours later. May I ask what symptoms you're experiencing?
  8. No, and my team doesn't require it.
  9. Found him on YT but couldn't find a cookbook. Do you have a title and/or link to it?
  10. Yeah, lots of complications with the lapband. I'm much happier mich the MGB now.
  11. It's most likely because you're walking more. I have to be aware of my plantar fascia (left foot) as well and of my achilles tendon (right foot). Stretching and foam rolling helps a lot! You also might need to take a look at your shoes. I had a long lasting case of PF about two years ago when the weather was warm enough to wear barefoot shoes again and I walked too long in them too soon after having worn heavy shoes throughout winter.
  12. Yep, I have read his book (kindle unlimited available on amazon, btw) and I have to say I like his approach. It's a very, very different one when looking at what most nutritionists seem to recommend (low carb, lots of animal lean protein). Dr. Weiner's approach reminds me a lot of Eat To Live. I like that a lot though I'm definitely no hero when it comes to following the nutritarian diet.
  13. Still the same problem. Oh well...
  14. It also happens when I click on "next".
  15. I can click the page number, but after being directed to the selected page (doesn't matter if I go backward or forward) the page looks like the screenshot above. Then I have to refresh the page and then I can see the posts.
  16. It started after the website changed software. Before the change I never experienced it. When I refresh the new page with command + r I can see the posts.
  17. Glad you had a good laugh...
  18. Banned? Ok... it doesn't show her as banned and this thread is about 4 weeks old only.
  19. IMO that's jumping to conclusions. Yes, it might be the case but sleeve is known for causing severe GERD in a lot of people.
  20. Wow, that's an over-generalizing thing to say... I understand that surgical complications can be serious but so can side effects of diabetes etc. - and no, it's not always "easier to control these issues".
  21. After I hit "refresh" the page looks normal again.
  22. Ok, the cookie thing didn't work. No change. This is what the page looks like then.
  23. I never tried another browser. I'll try the cookie thing.
  24. Oh, it's every thread with more than one page so you can choose. (Here is one example though.) I'm using Safari 10.0.2 on Sierra 10.12.2. It only happens when I'm reading one page of the thread and then use the little page numbers on the bottom of the page. When I'm browsing directly to a certain page, the page is loading just fine.
