EXCELLENT ARTICLE TODAY ON LAPBAND, BARIATRIC SURG..



Recommended Posts

On the main page of Yahoo today, there is an excellent article about bariatric surgery and it's pros and cons which includes the story of Al Roker....After this article, some Drs. and experts in the field give their opinions.....I think it's a good read....Many, many succeed, some fail!.....I, like Al Roker, was the latter.....To those that are well on their way to success, may God bless, and to those who have faced disappointment, there is ALWAYS hope!!!!....HANG IN THERE.....Eventually you'll find the infanous "KEY!" :(

I'm not sure if I read the right one, it was by the huffington post. But I felt like it portrayed WLS in a negative light, by saying most people who receive surgery could end up as drug abusers and a percentage commit suicide... Very scary

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
