Topic: RE: I weigh over 600lbs what can I expect after I have my surgery

Can you add more details to your question? Which surgery are you having? Are you asking about what to expect from a food perspective? A recovery perspective? Physical/hormonal changes? Mental challenges? Ability to hit your goals? Every experience is different and every program has different rules so keep that in mind too.

Topic: RE: what do they with excess skin after it remove

I think it makes sense to donate it to research. It seems like a waste to throw it out.

"It places the lotion on the skin", then throws it in the medical waste garbage :).

Topic: RE: How can I stay in right mindset

We need to think positively. There is always a way out of the situation and you need to look for it. I started reading more about health after reading an essay on https://writinguniverse.com/free-essay-examples/health/ . This is a really interesting topic for me because many people in my family are obese or just have some diseases. The most important thing is positive thinking and motivation. I am studying in college to be a nurse and this is a very common topic for essays and I really like it

the skin removed after weight loss surgery is not usable for skin grafting. Skin for grafting usually comes from a living donor(ones self if possible) because only a small thickness is used.
skin from skin removal surgery is medical waste and usually incinerated.

Topic: Those GoLo T.V. Ads - GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I don't know how many of you have seen their latest one, but in it the gal giving her "testimonial" for the product (or service? I never did know what GoLo IS ) talks about her failed previous attempts at weight loss, and then concludes with something like the following: "I was even considering gastric bypass surgery ... "

OH NO -- NOT WLS!!!

Geez, bad enough when you hear ignorant individuals taking digs at WLS, but when whole companies are taking shots at us in the media?

IIRC, back when I had my surgery there was some talk on the forum(s) that the skin could be donated to burn victims for grafting .. I never knew anyone personally that did that, though, either on here or in real life ..
