How you use your tool that you get with WLS

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Someone made a statement that she had a friend who had Sleeve surgery and said

her friend had not reached her goal and that her friend had gained weight.

WLS is not a magical cure. You have to put effort into making it work for you.

The fat will not just melt off of you. You need to make lifestyle changes. You

can NO longer eat they way you used to eat. Without the changes in your food

intake you are wasting your money NO matter what kind of WLS you have.

It is the fault of the Sleeve, but it is the fault of the person who has not

made the lifestyle changes in food and exercise. I never feel deprived. I eat

healthy and I have small treats now and then, but not everyday and I have small

or tiny amounts.

Remember you were given the tool now it is up to you to make the tool work for

you.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Suzanne....That is assuming the sleeve was done correctly.I just had a friend here, she was getting plastics and recovered at my home in Mexicali.  She had her sleeve done by a butcher of a surgeon, not Dr. Aceves.  She has 3/4 of a sleeve.  The top of her stomach wasn't touched.  I can eat almost a half sandwich 3 years post op.  She can eat three sandwiches 1 year post op.  Dr, C did her upper GI, she doesn't have a proper sleeve.  She's starting the regain now. (  She had surgery in Tijuana.
