VSG or RNY?
Deactivatedfatgal replied to shaines9's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I decided on the sleeve because I thought it was less invasive compared to RNY, I also wanted a slow and steady weight loss to prevent complications associated with rapid weight loss, and theirs little chance of vitamin deficiency! With the sleeve, it's a tool to help you reach your goals but if you are not committed it will not work -

3 months post op.
Deactivatedfatgal replied to hdsjourney's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Honestly, you should be eating more! For me, if I was restricted to 500 cals for the rest of my life I wouldn't be happy because that's not enough to sustain a healthy life. I look fwd to eating a normal and healthy 1100-1300 per day. -

Deactivatedfatgal replied to ebarclay's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Lady Tee, are you only intaking soups and water? I honestly hate the way water taste now. I have to dilute it. I'm drinking at least 30-40oz or water or liquids and a protein drink as of yesterday each day is better. I don't get heartburn but I do burp alot -
Read BEFORE Gastric Balloon for one persons review
Deactivatedfatgal replied to Ozbird's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I'm glad I read this! I thought maby this could've worked for me but at "4'11" 230 pds I was morbidly obese and was feeling the comorbidities creeping up on me! I'm glad I got the sleeve though it's "surgery" the risks are low and I went back to work 8 days afterwards. I'm 25 yo and plan to live and see my kids kids -
