Long Time, no visits.....
[this place seems a ghost-town. It used to have 40 or so new threads a day with massive replies.]

But, just throwing this out for those wondering about long-term results.
So, from one who had this surgery 20 years ago?

Had RNY 2003
Was 390lbs. /5'11.5" - [BMI of 53.6]

I Lost down to 170 to 180 in the first 8 months.
Then slowly dropped on down to the mid- 160's about 10 years ago
and have been at that weight since.
To quote my Dr., my "health is Awesome."
64 years old this summer, and still in better health than I was any time prior to 2003.

I don't really do any "Diets" or re-set business.
Over the years I've just made sure to get in a lot of lean meats and vegetables.
Early eating routines quickly became Habits. And Habits are so hard to break.
If you are "looking into" WLS, learn all you can.
If you've had WLS, keep using it.


Life is meant to be Lived, Not Endured.

Best Wishes- Dx

That sounds pretty harsh, but if the person can afford to do that then I agree with you, you have to know how to put someone in their place.

Topic: RE: Marijuana's affect on surgery

I realize my answer is rather late, but I'd like to share my thoughts. I'm glad marijuana has helped you with your insomnia and depression. As for your question, it's best to consult with your surgeon or healthcare provider to get a definitive answer. However, you may need to stop vaping temporarily before the surgery to minimize any potential risks or complications. Also, I'd like to share that recently, I stumbled upon the highest quality CBD I've ever come across - Spruce's 750 mg Lab Grade CBD. It's derived from a 210-year-old hemp variety, and let me tell you, it packs a seriou*****h when it comes to performance and benefits. I've noticed a significant improvement in my overall well-being since incorporating this CBD into my daily routine.

I would say I quit eating pizza and candy and did more exercise. Probably the truth.

I probably wouldn't have the nerve, but I would want to say," I don't discuss my weight, but we can discuss yours if you like" Then everyone is now looking at her.

By the way, in our college, one professor took part of the material for lectures from this book. As for the book itself, I think it's important to read for people who are thinking about surgery. Studying the argumentative essay on mental health visit the site I understand that the morale of patients after surgery is not always good, not everyone is satisfied with the result after a while. This must be taken into account.
