Oh yeah! I totally did shut down for that reason! I am going to see the surgeon again and ask. Great advice! Thank you all so much!

Hi everyone! I'm new here and happy to join your community! I finally made the difficult yet exciting decision to get wls and decided on VSG. I went to my initial consult and everything went well, but at the nutritionist's office they were discouraging me to get VSG. They thought that at my weight of 295/bmi 50+/height 5'3", I should get GB. One of the nutritionists was a former surgeon who practiced at the surgical center I'd be going through. They said they had seen so many people get VSG and only lose 20-30 lbs. I started internally shutting down after they said all that, so I can't really remember much about the rest of what they said.

I'm feeling super discouraged. My Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism are going to make it difficult for sure, but I thought I had made the right choice in choosing VSG. Can you share your thoughts?
