Topic: RE: Why didn't I do it sooner...
I have several friends who are 7-10 years out with zero complications. Yes there is risk and we all know them before going in. Its a risk I was willing to take for a healthier life because I knew the risks of staying morbidly obese were 100% certain.

Topic: RE: OKAY i am Worried NOW!
Calm down, lol - you will be fine. There's regrets to staying fat, too - right?
Do the best you can and follow your doctor's plan - that's the key. There are plenty of shocking stories out there - and plenty of good ones. You attract the energy you entertain - so stay positive!!
Good luck to you!

Ignore the Lucho person - they are full of crap.
I had RNY going on almost 4 years ago - have lost 200lbs and don't regret a single day. Do you have to stay on a vitamin routine? yes. Do you have to monitor your protein intake? yes.
But - what the hell? There's not a single thing that I find so disruptive in my life now, after WLS, that I'd be willing to go back or reverse a DAMN thing......
Good luck to you!!!

Hi I'd like to know if anyone has had their surgery reversed and if so did the complications they were having (nausea, diarrhea, vomiting) as well as others improve or stay the same? I have been having complications since I had my surgery and would very much like to have it reversed but do not want to go through it if the reversal will not improve the quality of my life. Thanks for all replies.hope you find the answers!

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Topic: RE: What have i done
please get help for your depression. surgery is a big, big stress on you and - if you are anything like me - you can't deal with the stress by eating.
mostly, this is temporary and things get better. hoping for the best!

Topic: RE: Regretting the DS
yes that could happen but is not the norm, as I'm sure you have noted in your research. I guess you have to weigh the pre-op como's with the post-op como's. Let's face it your taking your chances either way.
Topic: RE: just wondering...
I am sorry to hear that you went ahead even when you had so much fear. I think you're right the future is not bright for a young person with wls.
Of greatest concern are the effects of long-term nutritional deficiencies, which are rarely discussed realistically. The neurological decline and aging seen after bariatric surgeries is especially rapid and results from multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies, said Dr. Ernsberger. Both the stomach and small intestines are critical for absorbing many nutrients, including B-vitamins, calcium, iron, vitamin D and protein. Even taking supplements in multiple times the recommended amounts doesn’t help because the surgeries eliminate the proper function of the stomach and gastrointestinal system, he said. Hence, malnutrition problems are not uncommon, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and include anemias, osteoporosis, loss of teeth, blindness and, in a reported 16% of cases, even neurological and brain damage. We are seeing the return of nutritional deficiency diseases of starvation in formerly healthy fat people that had become rare in Western societies and are typically only seen in underdeveloped regions of the world.

Topic: RE: GA MEET N GREET
Firstly this post was from Dec. And was for a meet n greet in the state of GA. Secondly on the fence was exactly where I was at the time of this post and the gathering was for people like myself who were on the fence to be able to speak with those who had been through where I was. Thirdly what is the point of responding and being rude? If the surgery is not for you than so be it, I am confident in my decision and this may not be the place for you. I am blocking you bc I don't need any drama.

"help those on the fence" woman is this a crusade of the blind leading the deaf?

There is no proof that RNY extends life.
