Hey Jeff,

Are you local to St Louis? I live in South City and I'm two years out of my DS. Welcome back to the boards and I hope you continue to improve from your stokes.

Topic: I didn't realize....

Dear Friends,
I looked up this site again after much time because I had been in and out of the hospital from a series of strokes for the past year and a half. My WLS numbers still look fine and I only have a slight speech problem and some tics. You LW's are great people and I hope to hear from you. Oh and I have CRS or I Cant Remember Stuff. Anyway I didn't realize it's been so long.... Your friend, Jeff

Topic: RE: VGS with BMI 35

David, It sounds like you and I had about the same body issues. I had a DS/BPD 8 years ago, I lost the weight and am maintaining at weight since 6 months after surgery. Results for WLS vary greatly as I have observed and people get upset when they have to work hard to maintain. My sleeve was about the size of a banana and it has stretched some to about 12-14 oz size. I indeed had co-morbs so I opted for the DS. And the BPD hooked up my pancreas separate from the common channel. Because my stomach was very large and the Small Intestine so long I absorbed every oz of food I ate and I ate a lot! Dr. Anthone the surgeon made the call on common channel and I must say it is perfect as I take in with regular eating habits everything I need in Vitamins and protein

DS/BPD 5/10/2010
Common channel: 250cm
BPD: 500cm
Total length before surgery: 755cm

Hi there im really interested in having the sleeve done. My insurance will only cover a bariatric procedure if my BMI is 40 + or 35 + with diabetes or high blood pressure.

Im about 5-10 lbs away is there any way i can make myself a little heaver at my doctors office weigh in to qualify ? Please Advise. I feel helpless and depressed over this and im a single parent with no help.
