My bf wants me to "try harder" before "resorting" to surgery
*No offense to you and your relationship at all* I've seen so many of these posts now... that honestly in the year 2020, I don't know why autonomy (even within a relationship) is still up for debate. Why do people still believe they should have deciding input over the body/health of another person who is not: A. Their underage child to which they can be held legally responsible B. Their guardian through power of attorney (court ordered or private decision) C. In eminent danger and intervention would be life saving IDK, Please live your best life. Good Luck. ❤ [Apologies...miniaturized rant over]

? Pity Party?
I firmly agree. I bought a vintage ballroom style long tutu that was labeled either a 10 or 12 ... And they meant it ?. It fits me how a modern 6 or 8 now fits.

- More illnesses since WLS?
Every once in a while someone will create a thread about experiencing more illnesses (common colds, flu, etc) after WLS (some are chronic cases or occur many years later) Naturally no one believes there is any correlation. A quick video to give a little insight on possible reasons why and what to ask your physicians about if this is happening to you As always, do your own research & keep your physicians in the loop. Hope it helps someone search for alternate answers- Liquid restriction

And always will be if they believe their opinions carry any weight Good Luck ❤- Not enough weight for surgery
Hi! You may not feel heavy enough but you are unhealthy enough according to your own admission and insurance approval. Perhaps think about what set of circumstances would make you feel comfortable to deem surgery a necessity. Also think about when you anticipate those things to occur. Then consider all of that valuable time & health wasted coming to terms with your decision instead of taking action to prevent further issues. Good Luck ?- I got sleeved yesterday 2/11/2020

I wonder if its culturally a NY thing? (Katz deli pictured) If you try it, have it sliced very thin and by preference I always cook and eat it hot- For those who have lost 100+ pounds
I didn't experience pain while overweight. None that i can remember. However the amount of things I can casually do now is astounding. I run (when needed) and rarely lose my breath, walk endlessly without a need for breaks, jumped rope, go up & down stairs like its nothing, any seat on a flight will do, random hiking trips, etc (but I gave up formal exercise - health reasons ?) Good Luck ?- Sleeve complications possible revision to bypass
I develop stricture and torsion of the stomach also. I didn't fancy the idea of going in for a dilatation every 6 weeks. So i didn't even think of it as a viable option, nor did I let anyone persuade me into "giving it a try". Nah. I chose conversion and 1 week later had it done. Conversion to RNY resolved the issues completely. I was given lovanox shots immediately after surgery so not sure why you have to stop them. Good Luck ?- Food Before and After Photos
