This doctor is totally irresponsible in how he chooses his patients. I NEVER weighed 600 pounds but I DID weigh 300 pounds back in 2002. I had a Roux 'N Y bypass on July 30th, 2003 and have had many ups and downs as far as weight loss through the years but today, July 16th, 2020 I came in at 141 pounds. I am the ONLY person I know that had the same surgery as I did that has kept their weight off as long as I have and not only that, had lost MORE through the years, including my own sister, who had the same exact surgery with the SAME surgeon as me, 7 months previous to mine. I don't even work at keeping my weight off in the past 10 years. It is just something that is a normal part of my life. My sister has not only gained back all of her weight that she lost but at least 30-40 pounds more even though she THINKS that she hasn't...but I am a size 2 as opposed to her at least a size 20. She feels that she doesn't eat a lot in a day but I struggle to eat even a child sized portion in a day. My husband feels so badly for me because I can't eat anywhere near what I should be able to eat on a daily basis but i do like the fact that I'm not able to gain weight like i used to in the past but i wish i could eat as much calories as I should be able to at this point of my life to do things such as heal my broken foot which isn't healing like it should be from April 20th till now, July, 16th. That being said...I still think that this whole weight loss thing is just transferring addiction from weight to in MY case...shopping. I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on what I call JUNK which is more like Disney items. But it is a transfer. You don't cure an addiction, you transfer it to something else.
