I read 12 pages then couldn't go on in this thread but I still wanted to comment so forgive me if I'm off subject!

I'm a 25 year old with a starting bmi of 56.

What rubs me the wrong way with low bmiers is that without therapeutic intervention I feel like its just continuing the cycle of disordered eating.

For me, I went to therapy often for two years before the survey and I still go every 6 weeks. None of the issues that got me to morbidly obese were food related, the sleeve is and will continue to be a tool that has helped me lose 90 pounds in 16 weeks and will continue to help me lose another 110 to get to my goal bmi of 29!!

Suggesting therapy is not an insult, therapy is giving yourself a gift of self love and setting yourself up for success. I have met low bmiers who had the surgery for the right reasons and worked on their issues concerning food and its not my place to judge or preach but my advice to you is to set up a support system that goes above the basic calories invests calories out.

This surgery is a tool, designed to increase quality of life

You had to continue to use the anti nausea? I thought that was just from the anaesthesia when u first have the surgery? I had a breast reduction 10 years ago but that's the only time I've been put under - I don't remember nausea ... But it was a long time ago

They prescribed me a anti nausea med. it dissolved under you tongue. I took it just on case.

I am now on Prilosec (pill form). I have another two months of this med.

I was also just prescribed a gallbladder stone med. my surgeon asked if I still have my gallbladder and then wrote a script.

I am now 30 days post opt. I have lost 33lbs since surgery and 41 since pre opt diet.

The biggest thing you said that was correct for all people is. "This surgery is a tool, designed to increase quality of life".

With that said does it really matter what you BMI is.

I do recommend going to the support group.

Recommending a support group is WAY DIFFERENT to someone saying "you need mental help" hahaha ... I don't think I'd go to a "group" maybe a one on one would be better for me. With all the flack on got on here about my weight, imagine after the surgery walking into an over eaters group?! ... Lol

Come to think of it when I had my wisdom teeth out 20+ years ago I think I threw up in the car on the way home. Ok I'll ask for anything they can hand out - to be prepared for what may come - thank you! & that's great numbers - well done!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
