Bypass worked too well, wasting away-anyone else?

I don't know if its legal in Israel yet but have you tried medical marijuana as a appetite stimulant? Not marinol, but edibles. Totally different animal. Maybe a quick trip to Amsterdam? -
How Long Post-op Until You Were Able to Eat Carbs & Fried Foods Again?
GreenTealael replied to Littel_Urchin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Does it honestly sound like a bite of onion ring? It sounds like all the triggers are at the OPs disposal and they were wondering how soon was too soon to start cheating... But sure just a bite, not a big deal -

I personally have had a life time worth of absent mindlessly giving into cravings, time to try something new, especially after surgery. Otherwise what's the point... -
Try drinking teas with sugar substitutes (or warming your milk/protein supplements) you can drink as much sf fluids low calorie things as you want/ can tolerate. Warm things sit in you a little differently.

All I know is no man ever had to pay $60 for a bra who's underside snapped in less than two months, but correct me if I'm wrong. Those are essentials they are price gouging on but not necessarily increasing the quality of... -

I'm still a baby sleever anyways, all this BS I'm talking lol time will tell how I feel about staying active in the Bariatric community anyways. I just wish sometimes it was set up like college.

Something to consider @bigviffer

This was not the old "RNY is superior to VSG" debate. To clarify I have a VSG is a fine tool This was a question about the need/desire for revisions based on failed expectation on weight loss alone (not post WLS medical issues or malfunctions) I see a ton of post (sadly mostly VSG based) where people are very freshly out of surgery wondering when they can cheat, or 2 years out of surgery wondering why they never made it to goal , or going for revisions to RNY to finally make to goal after regain My questions was are people going for VSG to avoid dumping to cheat (vs malabsorption for medical valid reasons) OR were they not advised that the best surgeries for their particular cases would have been the more aggressive surgery OR did they have no honest clue about the statistical weightloss/ regain rates ? I see a lot of good complex answers, thank you. I also see that a lot of Doctors are promoting VSG as their first choice surgery. Now I know. There are complex reasons why revisions are seemingly on the rise. Thanks everyone!!!!

Not loose Weight pre op
GreenTealael replied to lili@ne's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Will they simply delay submission of info for surgery until you lose the weight? You were given 6 months to lose 10 lbs? Was this the insurance or doctors requirements? Hoping the best! -
