A question for vets. Apple Cider Vinegar.
Oh it works alright......
Makes many feel ill to their stomach so nope they wont eat and will consume less.
Others it does nothing
(Types the above while consuming tomatoes, cucumbers, onion and garlic in vinegar. I love me some vinegar, especially that salad above and pickles)

ACV can be a great stuff. If you need it. but I woudl only use organic, with mother ACV. If one is not careful - it can cause teeth decay (acid)
if you drink taht instead of ..high calorie drink.. it can help with digestion, and assimilation of proteins and fats.
it is not recommended if someone has candida.. or yeast overgrowth, or SIBO or is allergic to apples ..or....
so.. - try it- see how you feel... but rinse your mouth with non acidic drinks after... and don't brush your teeth right after you slowly sipped the ACV water...
everything in moderation.. even moderation...

Thank you. I'm not looking to be a diet "aide", but from what I have heard it helps level out sugar. My dad is diabetic, so...

Well... For BS issues not sure if ACV is the right things. Not sure how that can work on it except new theories link gut disbiota with blood sugar issues and there are new studies that trying to "fix" diabetes by normalizing gut bacteria. ACV can help with that .... It better digestion assimilation - thus preventing food fermyentation in the gut. Fermentation in the gut us not good.
Are you having low BS? High BS? Fluctuations in BS? Why? Etc etc....

The evidence that ACV-- in particular the acid contained therein-- levels out blood sugar is limited to research on very small numbers of participants and shows mixed results. Use with caution.

That's the kind of answer I was seeking! Thanks.

Not sure about WLS (only study I've read is a 2009 study) but I've been a vinegar nut since the day I was born, and well... You know my story, I had to have WLS. 
I do wonder if it's why I never liked sweet stuff (i.e. cravings) but it may just be... because. lol I switched to ACV a couple of years ago since I heard it has more enzymes, blahblahblah.
ACV is good for you in moderation, and I have heard it helps for acid reflux if taken diluted before meals, and great for the heart (contains malic acid).
Good luck in your research, and keep us posted. ^^

I am assuming that by asking for vets input, you are looking for info from those people who are far enough out from surgery that may have experience regain and opted to use this method to lose the regain. I have had regain, but have never opted to use this method. However, I did have a friend that after having RNY and only losing 80 lbs during the first 24 mos, decided to use this method to lose her additional weight. She swore that it gave her energy and she felt like she was losing weight, but at the end of 6 mos, she had lost none of her additional weight and even put on maybe 15 lbs. I just don't see how this can work. Even though there are so many people who say they have lost weight on it, but you can never find anyone who can really contribute weight loss to the ACV.
Hope this is somewhat helpful!
