I would look up Dr. Ara Keshishian in Pasadena. I don't know if he has any specific BMI restrictions, but he specializes in the duodenal switch (DS) which is often the best procedure for high BMI patients, and people come from all over the country to see him for the DS and other complex revisions (so he isn't afraid of complicated cases.) One of the best in the business, and certainly worth a call.

Have you lost the regain?

I just began my research on having weight loss surgery, my question is Should I keep a food and exercise journal after weight loss surgery

I weight 589 lbs What some tips you would give me started looking into to have weight loss surgery

My husband had cancer and was on chemo. Even the smell of food cooking made him sick. I bought a juicer (don't remember the name brand) and made fresh juice for every meal. He could tolerate the juice, drank it, felt stronger, and actually gained over 20 pounds during the six months on chemo. If your goal is to gain weight, any juicer will work for you.

Juice is mainly sugar. Your body can absorb it and turn it to fat much more quickly than just eating fruit. Because the solid fruit and fiber are gone the sugar goes to fat storage. If your goal is to lose weight, don't juice.
