  2. Could someone who has had the DS Loop tell me about this? I had a gastric bypass in 1980, due to regain I want to get a revision. I'm not sure what kind of surgery is possible after so long. I know I have a lot of scar tissue built up. I don't know if anything can be done. If anyone else has had this please let me know thank you in advance.
  3. I heard that Zantac was on a lawsuit for causing cancer but don't take my information for it research yourself. FYI

  9. Hi everyone hope you all are doing well. I myself, had an old school gastric bypass surgery in 1980. I have a consultation Jan 4th 2021. I'm really leaning towards a MGB. I just don't know how they can do it with my scar tissue? I'm nervous and scared that I worked myself up to this and a possible let down. Anyone know anything about this type of situation? If you know of any questions to ask the doctor please advise me. Thank you all for any help!!!
  10. Hi how are you feeling today? How did your surgery go? Hope all is well with you.
  11. Try Amazon they have different stages of eating.
  12. Just try to get it together. I believe once you start stalling you'll be happy with yourself. You still have some more to lose so hang on to your brain and emotions and be ready to face the stalls. A lot of people lose fast be happy and put your mind on other things.
  13. I'm from Wisconsin lived there all my life. In 2003 moved to Cambridge Nebraska. Consultation on January 4th 2021. Any others from Nebraska?
  14. I'm 69 years old and was told that there weren't any age limits. Has anyone have surgery that was my age or near it? How did everything go? Does anyone think with my age it will be a lot worse? I already went through a gastric bypass surgery in 1980 at 30 and it was awesome hardly any pain. I know this time will be more difficult but I'm willing to try so I can possibly have a better quality of life. To be continued...
  15. OMG are you two going to argue like school children? This is not the place to be immature. If you can't get along just don't respond to one and other. I'm sure some of the others don't want to read this either. I hope I didn't overstepped my grounds but I felt I had to put my 2 cents in
  16. Sorry that you have to go through this. I think you stop and let her see for herself that you have done so well. Sometimes you need to just back away for a while. Remember there are always those who are going to be jealous of your accomplishments. Stay true to yourself you'll get through this. Good luck with your journey.
  17. Thank you so much for the information. I have been freaking out over my meds after surgery. Talking to psychology depth now to get more information
  18. I'm sorry to hear that you have DD. I used to get needle therapy and the was unbelievable. It did not do anything as far as relieve the pain. That is one of my reasons I am trying to get the surgery. Are you pre op or post op??
  19. You should be real proud fantastic job
  20. I have been on geodon for years and it's the only bi polar drug I have been able to tolerate that actually worked. I'm allergic to many medications and laudable is one of those. I'm scared of myself if I'm not on them. BTW I'm already on Wellbutrin. I'm on drugs for osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, sleep medications. I have PTSD and mood swings and severe nightmares. So I'm not sure if I'll qualify for this surgery. Anyone else have some or all of these things? My consultation with the doctor is Jan. 4 2021. I'll let you all know then. This group has helped me a lot. I appreciate all of the information and advice. I'm sure there are many people who feel this way. Merry Christmas to all and I hope this doesn't offend anyone
  21. Thank you for all of your help with I think I will ask my doctor what he thinks about a MGB. I don't know if that is going to be an option or not. I had a gastric bypass surgery in 1980 and gained all of my weight back. My consultation with surgeon on 1/4/21. Wish me luck ? ?
