WARNING TO PRE-OPS: Think twice, cut once -- or else!
on 11/21/09 10:43 am - saint john, Canada
DS has been around for many years and RNY has been around for many years as well so I need to say this.
ONLY ONE OF THESE SURGERIES IS STILL CONSIDERED THE 'GOLD STANDARD' IN WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. Or do you think that is a conspiracy set up by rnyers and propagated by all of the wls doctors in the entire world. Gold standard means it is the surgery that all other weight loss surgeries are compared to.

Just because it is the most commonly performed procedure (due to it being easier and cheaper to perform) doesn't make it the BEST. I would never, ever recommend an RNY to anyone I care about, nor would I ever recommend an adjustable gastric band, be it Lap or Realize (since the RNY and band are the only procedures most people even know exist).

Post Date: 11/20/09 2:22 pm For the past 6 or 7 weeks I have been craving something sweet and gooey. You all know I can't eat sweets because I dump so easily. Well bugger it. Tonight I stopped by the store and bought an apple pie and a tub of ice cream. I just finished eating my pie and ice cream and sure enough I can feel a good dumping session coming on. Got that bubbly kind of churning feeling in my pouchy. Oh well, some thjings are worth it. This will cure my sweet tooth for the next couple of months and if the dumping is really bad it will turn me off pie and ice cream for months. Got my pillow and blanket all ready. Not too fussy about the nausea and cramps though but I'll live to eat again. What doesn't kill ya makes you stronger. LOL I just wanted to share my bad!

Oh no, you are so wrong Chad, as she said, this will cure her of her sweet tooth for MONTHS!
Always worked pre-op, right?
Interesting how she posts this, and it is in direct contradiction to what she wanted us to believe -- that only 10% of RnYers dump, and that after 6 months she didn't any longer.

Highest Known Weight = 370# / 59.7 bmi @ 5'6"
Current Weight = 168# / 26.4 bmi : fluctuates 5# either way @ 5'7" / more than 90% EWL
Normal BMI (24.9) = 159#: would have to compromise my muscle mass to get here without plastics, so this is not a goal.
