Research and questions

The surgeon is Dr. Walsh with Novant Bariatric Solutions. They are a pretty well known establishment so this is not some back alley operation. These people see very well versed and go the extra mile to make sure you know exactly what you are getting into.

I am a say it like it is person. Without therapy I wouldn't have the surgery if I was in your position. How will you 'mentally' feel when one egg is too filling. When their are times one bite is all you can handle. I have never regretted surgery for a minute and exercise daily. 12 years post op and below goal. For a surgeon to say this is not weight loss surgery would have me out his door too

I don't understand what you mean how would I feel when one egg is too filling?

First, I'm not able to feel full because I lack the receptors in the brain to register this. So I've measured and monitored my food for many, many years. If the surgery were able to change this aspect I would welcome it. It would be nice not to be hungry, but I've been that way my whole life so I'm kind of used to it. My concern for calorie intake has *nothing* to do with how I feel and *everything* to do with whether or not my body will be functional at an athletic level when I am not able to consume the amount of food that I normally eat when I am training. (which by the way, is usually WAY less than the average person's normal eating consisting of a few ounces of food each meal, so I am used to eating small meals). 

So I guess I am confused about what you are talking about. And fwiw, I've had a psychiatrist for quite some time who I've discussed the pros and cons with so far, and she has been in agreement with the idea that this might be the solution to my problem of continued weight gain.
