Walking - My body aches when I walk more than a minute or two. Do I keep pushing you think, or is that a sign to stop. It is mostly lower back pain. Last night I walked a mile with my dau...

Probably won't have surgery for another 4 months - My surgeon is in and out as his wife has terminal cancer. As of right now my surgery won't be for another four months, at least. They won't even submit my paperwork to insurance...

No Calorie Counting - At my NUT appointment, we were instruced to eat 20 grams of protein per meal, and no more than 15 grams of carbs per meal.   If I do that I am only eating 240 calories a...

Shakes and Veggies - For those who have had surgery a while ago, do vegetables fill you up?   One of my worries is with all the protein requirements is that we don't eat enough vegetables fo...

Outed Myself - On FB. The truth is all my family and close friends support me. I don't work outside the home, soooo if anyone is negative, they can and will be deleted from my life. I want ful...

Have loved luking here - and posting some. But I have finally decided to go with RNY. I hope you don't mind if I continue to stalk here, as I find so many valuable things posted!   Thank you for...

I'm here - after bouncing all over OH for the past few months, the decision has been made, and  will be having RNY. Still waiting on a date!

I've made my decision - and don't think I'll change it. AFter an hour long meeting with my surgeon, and tons of discussion, I am going for RNY. I was really sold on the sleeve, terrified of RNY, but I ...

Would you switch surgeries if you could? - Have you already had one WLS procedure and now wish you had another? Explain.

Question about Dumping - I've read on here before that not everyone dumps, in fact less don't than do.   Does this mean some people after having surgery can consume liquid sweets such as milksha...

Diabetes A1C - I was diagnosed type 2 last fall. Since then I thnk I've done well on just metaformin 2x a day. My surgeon's office just called with my blood work results and my A1C was 5.7 whi...

My numbers - My a1c levels for the past two check ups were 5.7. So basically my diabetes is manageable. Would you take diabetes into consideartion  for WLS with these numbers?

Board Rules - Is it okay or is it considered impolite/rude to post in all of the WLS forums, such as both VSG and RNY regularly? Or are we most supposed to stick to one board once our decsion...

Flip Flopping - I keep flip flopping on which surgery. I've read and read, thought and thought. And I just drive myself nuts.   I have done everything I need to do insurance wise, but c...

Last Night - I went to the gym.  I'm still pre-op but have decided to get my head in the game. I've started the whole protein first and am logging meals on MFP and got a Fitbit Flex. I am ov...

Research Articles - Where do you go to find research on different WLS procedures and doctors? All I do is google and get mini articles or forums. I want legitimate peer reviewed studies, etc. I don...

Starting to freak - I have finished all my requirements, and am waiting on insurance and then get my date.   And I know it is NORMAL, but I am starting to freak out. Like I want to cry and ...

technique - the surgeon explained he staples and then stitches between the staples, not the whole way. Thoughts?

I coud use a big ole - glass of fucking wine.   I am not drinking at all preop since  I know I can't post op, so might as well stop now. But right now, let me say, I've had a shitastic long da...

Stretched Stoma - I am finally leaning toward RNY vs. the sleeve, but this one idea terrifies me. How typical is it for the stoma to stretch out and what can you do to make sure it doesn't happen...

How much - can a "mature" sleeve hold? I am talking appropriate food, not junk.

OT Is there a feed or something? - I see how if you click people's names you can ask to be their friend etc Then what happens, do you get a feed with posts from your friends?

Had my Psych Eval - and man, it was intense. It was very confrontational.  I was as honest as I could be,and it felt like he thought I was lying or something. At one point I actually said I was fee...

Anyone 5 or more years out - just wondering if anyone is that far out and how it is going. As I get closer and closer, I am more and more nervous I am picking the wrong surgery. . .  But every time  I googl...
