-And then this nurse asked me why I was getting WLS since I'm a "lightweight" at 35.6 BMI and no co-morbidities.  I wanted to smack her.  I'm on the VERGE OF GETTING CO-MORBIDITIES!  Why should I get sicker when I already have an incurable disease????!!!!

-I may not be as big as you but on the inside we're ALL THE SAME!  Obsessive compulsive overeaters!  STOP JUDGING ME ON MY SIZE.

-What part of 'I don't want to get sicker' don't you understand?

Gina, thanks for your post.  It's allowed me to get some pent-up anger out that I didn't realize I was still holding.

Hey everyone I think I need to be here to see whats going in. I am going to have a revision after 13 years.  I was supposed to have the sleeve today but canceled it.  I weigh between 216 to 226 depending on which day it is.  I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND I WANT THE DS.  i HAD THE RNY and lost 220 now 70-80 pounds has come back. I don't see how going to something less restrictive is going to help me if my pouch is still small already,  I guess I am going to have to fight,  How many light weight people were able to get the DS.

 

Second thing what the heck is a NUT? i keep seeing that and have no clue what it is>>> LOL

I'm a DSr and started this journey at 36.8 BMI. Nutritionists are NUTs. We also call dietitians NUTs sometimes when they give out bad info, which unfortunately many do.

1) I am afraid of what the nurse will say, still waiting on starting assessments/appointments. Going to be hard, I work at the hospital where the WLS sx is.
2) If the NUTs is like any other...you've lost 100lbs before just do it again and learn from your mistakes. Duh, emotional eater, stressed to point of ulcers!! I need help!
3) Several people at work and a family member had different types of WLS. Nah, you're not that big!!!!
On the inside I think about when I can eat, what I can munch on, love to eat but hate to be out of control.
4) What part of eat your proteins and fibre do you not understand?
5) swinging lizards means what a party I will have with all the regained health I hope to have
6) your WLS and health concerns are your, and mine are mine. Lets not get crazy about it, maybe we could learn something from each other.
7) Babeee!!! Is what my hubby will be shouting more often. =) are
