Satiety, Inc. - A new WLS procedure (Investigational)



Recommended Posts

Check out this procedure. It's investigational so don't bank on getting it just yet.

Welcome to Satiety, Inc.

I have to admit, it's a bit too much like banding to me and the thought of another stoma, puking, sliming, and foaming would make me stay far away from it but those not afraid of a stoma ... might be kinda cool.

Be sure to view the video, it's very interesting.

The video is fascinating to an engineer and gadget freak like me. :) But I'm still glad my fundus was removed...

HAHAHAHA!!! That's about the best description I do believe I have ever read!

This happens with banding, rarely with sleeves. Never has happens since I got rid of the horrible band!

A stoma is an artificial opening. RnYers have it between their pouch and their intestines. Bandsters have it when the band cinches their stomach.

Foaming is when you fill up your pouch too much or too fast and lots of saliva gets made but there is no place for it to go so you start spitting up foam. Sliming is another name for it. It's a slimy foam.

I don't like the looks of those pleats around the stoma. Looks like a good place for seeds and such to get caught up. I'm thinking along the lines that disease/disorder where people don't tolerate seeds and such because they get caught and fester? Is it diverticulitis?

One of my main reasons for choosing the sleeve is that the path the food follows is more or less intact. The openings don't change. Just the size of the storage space.

Yes, it is diverticulitis and can be quite painful - my mom had it and sometimes suffered greatly.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
