Bariatric Surgery Surgical Procedure Review Summary

The Bariatric Surgery "is not a miracle cure," according to NancyL. While Bariatric Surgery has been a proven way to lose weight fast, it requires you to follow a strict diet that is high in protein to prevent future health problems. It limits the types of food and how much you can eat, but over time you can stretch your stomach out and regain the weight. The bottom line is you will still have to exercise, watch what you eat and use self-control after having Bariatric surgery.

In November of 2007 it will be 5 years since I had Gastric Bypass Surgery. Of course in the beginning it took quite a bit of getting used to, I could only eat 1 scrambled egg and I was stuffed. But the weight was falling off rapidly and I was focused on that. Then I didscovered that I could eat small...

I have spoken to many people who have had this surgery. Some of their doctors were awesome and informed them accordingly. Others have lost hair because they were not informed the daily protein intake must remain high(in regulated amounts) otherwise hair etc. will be lost. Please, ask your doctors the... review »

First of all, let me start by saying that I am not a professional or someone in the weight loss industry.  I am a 57 year old woman who is 5ft 1 & weighed 324 lbs.  I had a severe foot infection & was off my feet for over a year.  During this time I gained about 150 lbs.  I felt that I needed to do something drastic to lose weight before I suffered a heart attack or stroke.  I weighed my options very carefully as to what i wanted to do. I decided on bariatric surgery.  I checked with my doctor who recommended a surgeon.  I checked out the surgeon & got references from his patients.  I... review »

I had bariatric surgery 3 years ago - lost 130 pounds with a bounce back of 15 pounds.  I am healthier than I have been in years.  Bariatric surgery allowed me to retake control of my life.  I can hike, ride amusement rides, plane ride without fear of seat discomfort, feel good about my appearance and play  with my kids.  My kids are proud of me and glad that I have the energy to play physically with them.  Although there are definite downsides such as i can now only eat a small slice of pizza and I need to watch that I  get enough protien in it more than makes up for that loss in what the...

I had bariatric surgery 3 years ago.  I had a gastric bypass.  I lost 100 lbs of 200 lbs I had to lose.  I had it done in another city away from where I live and there was no support for me.  I have no clue what I should be eating.  They tell you not to drink sodas and eat sweets.  I am a sodaholic.  I did manage to quit for 6 months after my surgery during which time I lost the first 80 lbs of the 100 lbs I eventually lost.  I still can't eat huge meals, but find that now I'm gaining my weight back.  I do get hunger pains which the doctors said I shouldn't have.  I don't get hungry... review »

i had a roux-en-y gastric bypass over 5 years ago.  i have maintained a weight loss of 140 pounds.  it was extremely painful at first as with any surgery.  it was my no means easy.  i got sick at first very often til i learnt how to eat again. there was 4 week of a blenderized diet with no food being bigger than half a pea.  ive had to relearn how to eat and cook.  its a life change not quick fix but is a miracle.  i cannot eat anything high in fat or sugar or anything dairy.  if i eat starches i need to eat protein with it or it bothers me as well does raw veggies sometimes.  i would... review »

I had the lap band surgery in November 2005 and have lost a total of 70 lbs. Although this is not as much as I had hoped for it is still enough to make me feel better physically and that is good. It took some getting used to for me because I now have protein  shakes for breakfast every day...for the rest of my life. I am still trying to lose more but at this point even if I never do I am still happy with my current success. It still takes great control to make sure you do not eat the things you are not supposed to or fall back into old habits like eating when you are not even hungry. You have... review »

I am had gastric bypass surgery March 5, 2008 and have had wonderful results. I couldn't be happier! I have lost 95 lbs. I was 220 lbs at my heaviest on a 5ft. 2in. small body frame. My joints ached and my body hurt all over. I had suffered through 5 knee surgeries.

My knees still give me some pain but nothing compared to before the weightloss.

I would recommend this procedure to anyone who feels that they have tried "everything" with no success in getting their weight to a healthy level. It has truly been a blessing in my life!!!

It can truely save your life....

I had Bariatric surgery 5 years ago and it saved me...from myself. For those of you still in denial about how you got so obese, let me clue you in. You ARE NOT "BIG BONED", "just have a slow metabolism", "have a thyroid condition", or have "Inherited" obesity (there-by giving you the excuse to be fat yourself). Peope who are truely obese are.....by choice. The sooner you take that step, the sooner you WON'T die from weight related complications.

You are obese because you didn't care enough about yourself (for whatever reason- go to therapy for that one) to not kill yourself with your DRUG OF CHOICE....FOOD!...
