Yeah not sure about 32 I thought it's 35 and up?

Sleeve is the worst for reflux most ppl convert to RNY due to gerd and reflux....

Hahaha poor you can't eat like a pig anymore (sarcasm) ... You finally did something good and now people want you to be bad.. Let them gorge on their food while you enjoy every little bite (

Take advantage of it while you can

They wish they had your commitment

I'll be going into surgery 19 days I hope my recovery is as smooth as yours

There's numerous cases of bad lap bands and why surgeons don't do them anymore. Why would you put something artificial in your body? A foreign object? There's two amazing procedures now with so many good stories out there. Sleeve VSG or RNY BYPASS are the main 2.. I started with BMI 43 I'll be having bypass in 20 days cannot wait! *don't give people false hope either* Lap band is simply out dated obsolete technology! Like why use 3g when theirs 4g and 5g out there

Absolutely it's been a year waiting

Find things to keep you busy.. Hobbies. Movies. Books. Keep your mind off hunger

Protein first

Have you explained your feelings with your doctor's

Don't take it personally but girls are that age just care about their boyfriends and their looks and their friends lol

I hope it all works out for you but plz don't expect this surgery is going to fix everything you've been struggling with.. Any success comes down to mental determination

I take 100mg at night seroquel to relax me and help me sleep and 50g zoloft in morning for anxiety.. 6 weeks later down 46lbs..

?

Hi what exactly are all the vitamins you take now?

There's so many different versions and brands everyone will have their own choice...

There's many factors like your starting weight. Medical issues. How strict you are. Your BMI

Thank you

I cannot believe I'm so close after over 12 months of research and waiting for my insurance to mature I'm finally at the last leg of this race. 3 weeks today (Monday in Australia) I've been through so much mentally recently and I'm proud of how far I've come. I decided to start my own diet 6 weeks ago and I'm down now 46lbs. I'm so excited to start the next leg of my journey and begin the next chapter of my life. I'm looking at 80-90lbs to get below the 200lbs goal and hopefully end up around 185-195!! Thank you all for your support and kind words. (I've already had to buy some new clothes and feeling a little more confident every week) MIKEY

I'm not sure what it would be like in a foreign country hospital. Just keep focused on the future and the positives. I'm going to surgery on 28th in Australia I live. I got insurance but still have to pay out of Pocket.. Only traveling around 300 (460km) miles round trip for surgery which is far enough for me

Liquids isn't that the first phase of mostly protein drinks? Sugar free liquids? Maybe some liquid yogurt I thought

I still don't understand which is better shorter bypass or longer....

Have you been doing any particular training or weights or exercise regime to help your skin?? I'm 46lbs down still got 80-90 to go
