Do you know which type you will be having? With that extreme weight and BMI, I would hope - for reasons of safety and long-term result - you opt for a 2-part DS, with the first part being the VSG portion performed. After you have safely lost a certain % of the EW then you can return for the re-routing 2nd part of the procedure. Good luck on whatever you decide!

Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "

Thanks for the helpful information. Is there any foods that I should avoid?

Can you add more details to your question? Which surgery are you having? Are you asking about what to expect from a food perspective? A recovery perspective? Physical/hormonal changes? Mental challenges? Ability to hit your goals? Every experience is different and every program has different rules so keep that in mind too.

I think it makes sense to donate it to research. It seems like a waste to throw it out.
