Youtibe and wikapedia are great for research not so good for facts. We all want something to blame when things go wrong cancer is a sad thing. Why is not as important as getting better so move on and find a way to get better instead of trying to draging a bunch of people down with you. My chances of getting cancer have went down with this weight loss but no one knows for sure what causes cancer and most studies show corilation not cause. Studies on breast cancer and certain family trates only show a corilation not a cause. If some how telling everybody on this forum that they are going to die from cancer mak get better go ahead but state real facts and state that GERD has been found to be a factor in getting cancer not a cause and if you have sever GERD than check with your Doctor.

With my Insurance and my surgen GERD would have kept me from having the sleeve or band and move toward RNY.

I thought a sleeve was irreversible...how would that even work?

How would which part even work? If you are referencing the OP's original post, it is in reference to band, so ... I don't think they realized where they were posting this, but I was not going to move it as I don't want to alter their intention.

It is my opinion they got a little ahead of themselves and didn't objectively look at the information they were posting.

Again, we all need to settle down here a bit and be objective ourselves. A lot of people are getting equally excited and ahead of themselves, so, let's all just take a deep breath.

Nothing to see here ... move along, folks.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
