HIPPA restricts Dr. Vuong from explaining why he cannot give this patient a lap band. I am just guessing this is why we have not heard from the Doc. There are so many tests you must take to prove fitness for this surgery.

I had constant reflux and needed a pill every day for that. As a result of this acid reflux , I got a hiatal hernia. My doctor said I should have the sleeve because the bypass tends to create acid reflux forever. I had the sleeve, and I have not had reflux at all. I am so glad I got the sleeve. I do not have 100 pounds to lose either. I need to lose 80 pounds. The bypass surgery is for people who need to lose 100 pounds or more. Push for the sleeve, and if he resists you, go to a different doctor. This should be YOUR choice. He repaired my hernia too. Thank God!

I went to my pre-op class yesterday and asked about the vitamin patches. The nutritionist said they are garbage, that there is no proof that our skin can absorb the vitamins. I just wanted you all to save your money

I have a therapist too. I told him I want to go through this with someone. I have depression and they were afraid to approve me in the first place because I am an emotional eater. I need to make sure I stay in therapy through this ordeal. Maybe we can all get a group discount on tummy tucks afterward hahahaha!!! I am scared of the way I am going to look after losing the weight. I hope not too bad because I don't think i can ever afford plastic surgery unless I go to mexico. This group will be good for us cuz we can share right from pre-op to post-op and beyond! Nice to meet all of you!!

July 10th 2017 is my surgery date too!! I have only told a few people because I am embarrassed to be fat.
