Well, I guess it's to be expected, but 40%+ of the population now in the U.S. ???

True! Some surgeons actually still do recommend flint stones vitamins! CRAZY! My gastro just diagnosed me with SIBO too and they now know that is gastric bypass related. I get that gastric bypass was new and they have found new complications but did they even think to consult with gastroentetologists and endocrinologists to discuss potential issues this rewriting of organs could cause?
21 post RNY here... I think there is so much the medical community just flat didn't know yet. I came home with instructions for Flintstones vitamins and some kid of chocolate calcium chews. Period. That's it! And I had a absolutely fantastic surgeon, but the follow up just wasn't there
LAWD, the things/people have seen in the past 2 decades!
I wish you good luck, in all sincerity, with finding the health needs you seek

When I was researching this stuff, I started by talking to people who've already gone through it, and they recommended talking to Dr. Treen from the Surgical Clinic Of Louisiana. He answered all my questions and was also the doc who managed my surgery.
Another advice is to check if your insurance covers this kind of surgery. I am covered at Covering Central Florida, and they covered my bariatric surgery with no questions. It was a big relief for my pocket.
You could consider their insurance plan to avoid all the costs. To find more information, you can read about when is open enrollment 2024, and there you will find all the details to get their plan.

THIS ??????
None of us got to the point we needed wls because we're happy. Until THAT is addressed and the work, the REALLY hard work is done, nothing will keep the weight from coming back on, or transferring that behavior to something else.
