Food Before and After Photos

It happened to me the in first year after my revision, but now after 5 yrs it’s more of an aversion because I completely avoid rich creamy sauces and soups. -

Marry Me Salmon. https://gypsyplate.com/marry-me-salmon/ This was a hit with the family and reminded me that sometimes cooking is an act of love (because it was a multi step meal and I just want to air-fry everything now) -
OMG! Have sooooo much fun. My BF plays them at some point during EVERY road trip 🤣

Considering Wegovy or Ozempic for weight loss post gastric
GreenTealael replied to greekgoddess2468's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a huge fan of these new meds because: they work and it’s moving the research of obesity forward instead of continuing to moralizing it. For our population, it’s not clear whether or not this a life long commitment because there are no current trials for this. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1155/2022/6820377 (section 2.9. Potential Roles of GLP-1 RA on Prevention of Perioperative and Postoperative Complications of Bariatric Surgical Individual) https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landia/article/PIIS2213-8587(19)30157-3/abstract GRAVITAS Trial from 2016-2018 -
Considering Wegovy or Ozempic for weight loss post gastric
GreenTealael replied to greekgoddess2468's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If only it was this simple! The exciting thing about the new anti obesity medication is the renewed efforts into researching the causes and solutions to obesity. We now know that some of these complex processes are beyond our control. -
Super exciting ! What show are you seeing?

What conversation to have with PCP?
GreenTealael replied to Alisa_S's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You may want to let the PCP know that you have been dieting unsuccessfully for x amount of time and what you have unsuccessfully tried to manage your weight so they can note it in your chart in case that is a requirement needed to receive the referral/insurance approval. Good Luck! -
After 6 months I finally chose- basic questions
GreenTealael replied to Chlo0oeeee98713's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have to say Im happy you choose the VSG over ESG. Every time I see someone post about ESG, it’s always about insufficient weightloss. But to your question, All things being equal, I would go with the surgeon with the best supporting staff because they will be with you long term. They will see you more and help you more often than the surgeon who you may see twice pre op and once post op if your surgery is uncomplicated. Normally after all the required testing is done, your case will be submitted to your insurance for approval. Once approved they will schedule you for surgery. In the meantime you can double and triple check your coverage to make sure your policy does not have a bariatric surgery exclusion, that the hospital and surgeon you choose are in network, what your copay will be, etc. Bariatric surgery so routine now that they can usually predict an insurance outcome unless you skip/don’t fulfill a key step. Good luck! -

Thank you 😊 -
Is it a structured cargo skirt?

Would you believe it if I told you it’s a beach cover up! I don’t buy clothes often because I have plenty and my size is basically the same as 6+ yrs ago but as soon I saw it I knew I loved it.

Endoscopy Success!

Congratulations! -
Just no. Absolutely no thanks to all of this tomfoolery. Never let them cheap out on you again.

Ive have multiple endoscopies and I was never awake for any of them. What was the reason they didn’t sedate you the first time? Edit: I see now that it was twilight sedation
