Getting ready to go see the wls surgeon

Don't want to go. Or do I? Have mixed feelings about this. Wonder what he will say or advise another wls. I'm nervous.

We are excited for you!! Congratulations.  Here are some links to information you may find helpful:

We can't wait to hear from you post-op!

Doc says 'no' to wls.

Says I'm maxed out on all weight loss surgeries..........................

BUT we had a good talk.................................

He stressed eating 'solid protein' foods..................................

low carbs if any, stay away from white carbs meaning bread, pasta, crackers,.............

recommend using over the counter protein powder shakes as a supplement once a day    

.................................not to be used exclusively (he was reading my mind) because it would be too hard to stay with .............................. No grazzing. (I grazze!! my problem)

                                                           BOTTOM WORDS

                                                       YOU HAVE CONTROL

So do you still have the RNY with a band?  Or did you have the band and than a RNY?

Band was removed a few years ago. Time period for the rny being effective is past. So......

Have you talked to a surgeon that does the rny to DS revision?  I know there aren't very many.  Have you checked out the DS boards?  There are some good people over there.

I did ask about the DS. He said no...........

The doctor told me I didn't have enough stomach left to safely do the ds.............

That's when he pointed out that thinking the wls worked well for me was incorrect....... 

Said he had wls patients who didn't lose their excess weight after the surgery..........

He pointed out that I was successful because I made food choices afterwards that would insure weight loss................

 It wasn't the wls that did it........... it was me.
