New&Improved

Yeah same reason I chose it. It's the most restrictive so it works long term

I'm glad in away I'm single so my life won't revolve around anyone but myself so that when I have the surgery all I need to worry about is myself. I need 110% focus to do this for myself and my future and then look for a partner once I'm fit and healthier

I'm 320 I need to be 180 please tell me what your brother did. I only need 140 lbs I think it's possible to do within 8 months?

That's Bull it is life changing surgery and if you're BMI is high enough it's actually urgent surgery in Australia all the surgery are covered all it takes is a surgeon to approve you first and then wait a minimum 12 months if you're new to private insurance

I'm in Australia. I think I'm going to choose the RNY bypass like you. My current weight is around 317 my goal is around 180lbs

You're my inspiration. I really hope the RNY does the same for me to really restrict the amount of food and help me to eat very little and the fact the vitamins will make up for the lack of food is great. I really wish that I could live off not much at all. I think some people eat too soon and don't allow time for their little pouch to settle, I will be doing liquid and purees for as long as I can and smaller meals as not to stretch the stomach. I heard from other people you also need high dose B12? ALSO I'm currently a big water drinker always have been it will be hard to drink in small mouthfuls compared to my current amount. I believe exercise is important but take it easy in the first few months. But in the end is very important to eat protein rich foods not bad food ever again... I'm 320 my goal is 180.

Hello where you from? What surgery you having? What's your current weight and goal weight

Can you explain your daily food and how often you eat. What you eat. What vitamins you take daily. What exercise you do... I'm very intrigued by you!

Which is best for best loss

I'm asking for people opinion and experiences!!!

Sounds like RNY is the way to go hearing a much about reflux issues with MGB

20 stone lost how long did that take??

I'm tying to decide myself between full RNY or this MGB... I want the safest option with best results please

3 months and lost 90lbs? That's amazing I'm not sure which way to go RNY or sips/mini bypass?? I need to lose 140lbs in under a year!

I'm curious as well if anyone had mini bypass

Help does anyone know the major difference between the two. Anyone had the mini BYPASS/omega loop???

Hi Mikeyy! Thanks for the reply. She isn’t very active, but she is following her diet to a T. Well mate I suggest she starts walking not only will that burn calories it will help her body digest the food and get her heart pumping

So that 100lbs loss

Best things to do is do a clean out grab everything bad out of your house and put in the bin if you can't donate it. Go to supermarket and go shopping only buying what the doctor ordered. Don't give in to anybody or any bad influences. You need to be strict with yourself. This is your life. Your future. Nobody else can fix you but you. Don't give up, but if I'm honest that one day diet was not a helpful thing I'm unsure why your doctor allowed that because the whole idea of the preop diet is to show you can make the right changes otherwise the surgery will not work for you.

Very unlucky

I'm still debating on which dr to choose but I think it's between Ashford surgeon and Dr DONOFRIO. I haven't heard much about any others except I think Bessel but he was asking a big price for tons of other stuff I can live without. would love to know if anyone here from Adelaide going to have surgery this year or been through it recently so I can ask questions I'm very curious. I've noticed most people here are American so I'm just looking for Aussies to chat with. but about myself I'm 34 male single 183cm 142kgs or 317lbs and I'm still waiting for the 12 month cut off before I can have the surgery so just doing as much research as I can. My goal weight is 185LBS thanks for listening. I'm very close to organising my first consultations!! Getting so much inspiration from everybody doing so well with the RNY BYPASS!!

Keep it up

I agree with everyone I've been keeping my eye on specials on multivitamins and protein powder I've also noticed TUNA is great and cheap to buy and alot of protein very good for you as little as 80c for a small 90gm serving which would probably be one meal and under 100calories per tin. Find things that are really high protein and cheap to buy in bulk once you find a certain product you will definitely start to notice the savings every week. If you can go to local markets find cheap fruit and vegetables also. Go to Costco or ALDI and buy in bulk to save $$$

So 15 months to goal weight. Where did you start at mate? And I agree it's best to stay away from too much carbs

Is she following the diet to the letter? No sneaking food when nobody is around? Maybe join a gym or walking group to help activity. If it continues go see the doctor
