Don't call me a liar you little prick. I've been at the mayo Clinic for over 2 weeks talking to people don't ever call me a liar you little sell out

Sell out? Because I'm happy with my surgery and feel better than I have in years?
I asked if you had data to back up your "stat". Clearly you don't.
Quit running your mouth.

You know what there was a lady i just talked to . She has been out of surgery for 5 years. Do you know what ? She just got out of the hospital from bleeding. If your surgery went well feel blessed. But don't you dare ever call me liar again. You want to know truth? Get off here vist the hospitals, find the ppl that they hide from statistics, becauae they do hide them. Believe what you want, you are still at risk. Your whole life. If you don't have an isdue you are lucky. Of vourse you can write this off as another lie....hard head

Well if you want to use anecdotal evidence I know several people personally who have had surgery years ago and have no regrets and are healthier than they were before surgery. Although some have put some weight back on they're still smaller and feel better. You are in a hospital, of course you're only seeing sick people. You think that represents the entire weight loss surgery community?
Btw, I never called you a liar. You really need to calm down.

Sorry, this is a load of ****. An absolute load of ****. I spent two years researching this surgery before doing it and went to support groups, talked to so many people who had it, researched online, etc. I don't know 5 people who had severe complications and I probably talked to 500 people in total. I hate trolling.

If you had evidence, if you had something other than your word, which, quite frankly, doesn't mean anything to me because you seem to be here just to start trouble and stir up doubt, yeah, maybe I would believe it. But I don't think you've done what you set out to do. No one here is swayed. Perhaps you can find another place to stir up trouble. But no one here is buying it.

Go sell your story to people who haven't done their homework. We ALL have.

Actually, I can prove it. I have a detailed diary of every person I spoke with, a blog site in my name of people I spoke to with their comments and all the documentation the doctor gave me of former patients to contact. Plus, and not for nothing, I have the 100k plus users of this website who agree that the gastric sleeve surgery, as well as all the other surgeries, while not without dangers, is basically safe.

Where is your proof? Who are the people you have spoken with?

Why don't you do just that? Go sue your doctor or whatever and leave the rest of us who are happy about their safe and solid surgery alone.

She is saving us. Don't ya know? [emoji849]
It appears she is making it her life's mission to end weight loss surgery. I guess it'd be better if we just died of obesity instead. I really don't know what she wants but I know I'm done playing.

This isn't a complications forum either, just a general surgery thread. And you're not a patient or pre-op either, despite your status. You haven't asked for help, or advice, you're just stirring up doubt in a group of people who are either pre or post op. I don't understand your game, but honestly, you appear to just be trolling.

Agreed. Wholeheartedly.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
