had the surgery done at tufts. If you are considering getting this surgery, get it done at a teaching hospital. They have the highest success ratings.
If you are considering it, talk to you’re a doctor and those that have gone through it. Those that are heavy and have done nothing about it are not particularly a good source of objective advice. In fact they seem to be a good source of friends who have friends who have friends that have horror stories.
My mom had gastric bypass in 2006 and basically ended up starving to death over the course of 15 years. She died this month. The last 3 years she could barely eat and lost half of her body weight after already being underweight. She was so weak and couldn't walk. The doctors just kept sending her home. Finally her blood pressure was so low she fell and broke her artificial shoulder. She died a week later from surgical complications. Bottom line, this is a nasty procedure and in my opinion should be banned. Yeah it feels good the first two years when weight comes off but beware, for the rest of your life you are slowly starving to death.
I’m on the waiting list for this surgery. I can’t wait!
Update: I ended up getting a referral from my doctor to go private! I have my appointment in June, but can't get the surgery until September. If I remember to post further updates, it will be done!
Update #2: I forgot about my appointment in June, but luckily was able to get another one on the 19th of July. I'm booked in for surgery for the 28th of September! So excited!

The real horror story is That of Doing nothing.
Is that op reversible?
I get my surgery on March 28th 2022 and this is the best video and inspiring out of all of the ones I have seen so far
Starting the process today. ❤️
Try Dr Michael Mosley The Fast 800 Keto before doing surgery.

Can this be cover under your insurance?
What a amazing story, great work Chris
I didn't get surgery, but I am glad it is working for people.
My weight is killing my knees
I'm scheduled for 8/9/21. I've done 6 + months of pre-op appointments and didn't think anything. Now I'm scared to death.
Hello I have the gastric sleeve surgery back in January 27th of 2021 and I was 410 pounds and now I’m at 336 pounds and lost total of 74 pounds
