Did anyone see his show today? He discussed the benefits and positive impact Bariatric surgery can have on secondary medical conditions brought by obesity. Although, they only discussed the bypass and the immediate improvement it has on Type 2 diabetes, I felt it was a step in the right direction. I, wish the sleeve had been discussed, maybe because there is not as much longterm data regarding the benefits, it wasn't addressed. However, Dr. Oz is a supporter of Bariatric Surgery as a beneficial tool to fight obesity. He and the other doctors he had on the show, made a point of emphasizing that surgery is not an easy way out option, because of the the lifelong committment the individual has to make to a lifestyle change. They hope that more training will be provided in nutrition in medical schools and that PMD's will learn more about Bariatric surgical options and not be hesitant to refer their patients if they are suffering from other serious health issues secondary to obesity.

My surgeon - Dr Quebbemann was featured on Dr Oz's show in Nov 2010 talking about VSG surgery. I am sure you can go to Dr Oz archive and watch his presentation.

I love my sleeve and have no regrets.

It was just great to hear the doctors tell the world that we have not, by no means, chose the easy way out by having bariatric surgery to aid us in our fit against obesity. We are committing ourselves to a lifestyle that is totally foreign to us for th rest of our lives. If you don't know, we are some strong folks, with inner strentgh like nothing I've encountered!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
