VSG Urban Legends

  • Popular Post

Are there any VSG urban legends that you can think of that you have debunked?

The 1st one I can think of is: I won't feel hungry after surgery.

Sure the part of our stomach that produces ghrelin is gone and our physical hunger is reduced or even eliminated... but no one can tell me that "head hunger" doesn't feel real and powerful!

    Did you see the post a while back where a poster said that a woman from her support group gained all her weight back in 6 months because she used a straw? Seriously. It was the funniest thing I have ever read on here!

    Um....no I'm pretty darn sure something else was going in her mouth besides a straw!

    Maybe chocolate milkshakes from DQ - one of the best comfort foods ever!! :)

    Here's one I keep hearing.. Most marriages fail after WLS!

    Gah, I keep hearing this too! I think it's pretty dumb. 50% of marriages end in divorce regardless of WLS.
