Wondering about wls youtubers channels



Recommended Posts

I was actually going to share my journey on YouTube. My surgery is scheduled for sept 19th. I've never done any videos so i figured I'd try to film and upload an intro one this week before the main event.

This thread is encouraging. I've been debating myself in starting a YouTube channel for those of us years out. I'm 7 years out. I'm also looking into becoming a Personal Trainer and Health Lifestyle Coach to WLS patients only. Maybe something to consider heavily going into 2017.

I watched many of these pre open and concluded that they tend to offer their own opinion as advice and it's usually BAD advice. Lots of surgeries in Mexico. The surgeon might be competent but not much pre open teaching. Psychological evals? Who needs them!

My favorite was one where the woman says she's been eating solids since day three because she was hungry and listening to her body. She ate 1/2 a grilled cheese sandwich on DAY THREE!

Most of weight losses in these tubes are IMO on the low side. And why would anyone take advice from an attention seeking narcissistic?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
