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?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
