- Hello everyone! :)
In today's video we are going over some of the downsides to having weight loss surgery. I am mainly focusing on the mental struggles that I have encountered so far in my journey, as those are the ones that I have dealt with the most. I did leave some things out, as I'm sure some will notice! However these were the most prevalent struggles for me, and the ones that I am able to speak on the most.
Thank you so much for watching, I really hope you've enjoyed this video!

great video! i had gastric bypass surgery 4 1/2 yrs ago, started at 402 lbs , currently at 147 lbs, best decision ever, just wish i had it done sooner! used to be size 32, am down to size 12. keep up the great work! i live in kansas, my surgeon is awesome!
Thank you so much!!! I only see people who got the sleeve talking about this stuff! I needed this.
Thanks for the info. It's nice to hear from someone in Ontario. I'm in Ottawa and about halfway through the pre-op steps. I'm 63 and I just wanted to tell you that by doing this now, you've saved yourself half a lifetime of weight misery. I hope to be able to say "I wish I'd done this 30 years ago" soon! Glad it's going well for you.
Congratulations on your journey so far!! ☺️ Thank you so much for watching. Waiting for you on the losers bench! 🥳🎉
Hello. I’m 62 and just started the pre-op process. Wonderful info in these videos.
@@sarKAZm19 Looking forward to better health and a peppier step - best of luck.
Congratulations to you @sarKAZm19 ! I’m glad you’re finding my videos helpful! 😊
How is your post op going?
Thank you for this. I am going through the process. My biggest fears are developing conditions and dealing with people judging me. This was clear. I have watched your other videos. Thank you for giving a range.
Thank you for watching! 🥰❤️ I totally understand those fears, and they are 100% valid. It is a scary thing to even consider. But regardless of what you choose, I wish you all the best. Let me know if you ever have any questions, I’m always here! ❤️
Thanks for sharing. I had weight loss surgery 7 months ago and I have lost over 100 pounds and counting.
Congratulations, Sharon!! 🥳❤️
Congratulations on your journey, glad it's going well. You are doing great!! Thank you, this was helpful.
It will be interesting to see how your perspective about the challenges changes. The rollercoaster, in many ways, is still to come. The honeymoon is wonderful and a gift. After that, is the hardest work of your life. But you’ve got a great attitude so keep up the great work, follow your program and keep rocking it.
I'm interested to see as well, Dawn! It is easy to get caught up in these rose coloured glasses sometimes, and forget that I am in fact still in that honeymoon phase. I am looking forward to the future, and proving to myself every day that I can make the most of this second chance at life. :)
Do you have an update for us? The last video posted is over 8 months ago
@@samantha_rny13 I am 16 years post op. No more rose coloured glasses 😆
@@v3ra often once people start to struggle a bit, they stop posting videos. Some people also just get busier maintaining their lifestyle or run out of things to talk about. Few keep up the blog momentum.
@@DiminishingDawn 16 years!!!! Whats your take on it, would you do it again? Ive been on a waiting list for surgery and declined it because from reading everything seems like ppl are super excited in the first 1-3 years and then those ppl are gone. Silence. I dont see a youtube channel for someone YEARS post op (like 5+ yrs) and from what Ive seen, seems like many regain since weight loss is mental and the pouch expands etc. but losing weight on my own seems impossible so the surgery option comes to mind over and over again even if its a temporary solution for many.
Thank you Samantha, for your brutal honesty. I am at the start of the journey and am watching many videos. Yours is super helpful! Also, I'm in Toronto, so your process is very interesting for me. Can you tell me how long it took to go from referral to surgery? Are you near the GTA? Thank you again!
I had RNY 15 years ago. Lost 100 in 4 months and have just now regained back 100 after gaining back slowly starting after year 1. The best part was not being hungry all the time and because before surgery, I never had a full feeling. So I think a sleeve operation would have been better, but it didn't exist at the time. I feel like I have some nutritional deficiencies from the surgery. Lost hair big time, became exhausted, felt ice cold and found that meat and raw vegetables would make me throw up....not always, but enough to make me eat too many carbs, just because they would not make me sick. Starting on intermittent fasting now and it isn't even hard because the small pouch, so I hope to lose the weight again over the next year and hoping to not lose my hair.
I also lost soooo much hair. I am so sorry that you've not had the best experience as of lately 😞 Keeping you in my thoughts!! Would you be comfortable sharing how your experience goes with intermittent fasting?! I am curious to hear more about it! Sending you love! 🥰❤️
@@samantha_rny13 week 1 done of intermittent fasting and 7lbs down. I never realized how much "grazing" I had been doing but I was grabbing some nuts or other healthy snack each time I went through the kitchen. I haven't felt hungry or jittery. It has been eye opening too about my dependence on carbs to block anxiety. Learning how to just accept anxiety as it comes, pray for peace and then move forward.

I love your video you’re strong you’re doing a great thing for your health !! Love the candles in the background!! I ❤
Thank you so much, Marie!! 🥰 I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos. Thank you for your kind words! ❤️ (I love having the candles in the background as well, thank you for noticing!! 😉)
Congratulations, I wish you the best it seems that you are willing to learn and try your best.
I have been overweight all my 33 years of life, have never had a regular period and I already started to have other health conditions. I live in Texas and don't have insurance so the surgery is not an option for me, but my baby sister is still covered for my dad insurance and she wants to have it. I am anxious about the procedure but excited that she will have a better chance to not be sick at 30.
I had gastric sleeve and, due to food addiction, I didn’t lose as much weight as expected. I did not realize that the addiction would not be impacted by surgery. (Yes, dumb of me!)
So I grazed constantly.
Long story short, I found Dr Annette Bozworth (Dr Boz) on TH-cam. Bought her books and doing as she suggests. Don’t give up on your life, obesity only gets worse. Do what she says and DON’T GIVE UP.
I am 75 and weigh 133 today. My highest weight was 289 lbs (probably more, but I have documentation of that weight from my doctor.)
Don’t wait until you are elderly. Dr Bozworth’s food plan as outlined in her books and videos offers real hope. My candy bar addiction is gone. Yes, sometimes I want sweets, but I am no longer ruled by the addiction and obsession. You can save yourself without surgery.
All the best to you, dear.❤
Thank you for the information! I just found this video and am considering getting the sleeve done. I will continue to follow your journey.
Best video ever, really needed this x
Thank you for sharing all of this information. You are very articulate and knowledgeable. I'm glad I found this video.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Best of luck in your success 🦋
I've really enjoyed your videos! I'm also from Ontario. I get surgery next month. I was wondering if you haven't already, could you discuss recipes or food you ate during all the stages? (Liquids, puree, soft foods) I'm googling a lot but I love hearing what helped others get through those stages.
Hi Shanine I'm so glad to hear that you are liking my videos so far! :) Congratulations on your journey, this next month will FLY by, and surgery day will be here before you know it! I did do a video recently that was a grocery list for the first 4-6 weeks post-op! :) I pretty much survived off of Premier protein and cream of chicken soup for the first 4 weeks, LOL. I will try to link that video here for you! Thanks for watching! :) th-cam.com/video/4TXBuutdtqc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much for all this information. For me, it seems like a nightmare because so many things are things I do not do naturally. Like I do not plan anything ever, so planning meals etc forever sounds horrible. But thank you for sharing. I have the chance to do a surgery for free and it is good to know what to expect should I take it.
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰❤️ I totally understand, I really, REALLY, hate documenting my food. But I found a lot of joy in cooking once I had surgery, and it’s gotten so much easier over time to record/plan my meals. All the best to you! 🥰❤️
Hi Samanta, thanks for sharing this helpful video. My question is, since you registered for this surgery till you got it, how long was take?
And congratulations you did it. 👍🤟
Hi Jennifer! 🥰 Thank you for watching! It was exactly two years to the day from when I contacted my family doctor about a referral to my bariatric clinic to the day when I was given my surgery date. It doesn’t always happen that way, however. I had many setbacks along the way! Usually takes less than a year if I remember correctly. Good luck in all that you do! 🥰❤️ Let me know if you ever have more questions, I’m always here!!
7 weeks post gastric bypass for me. Despite being told that I'd be able to expand my menu, I get sick and throw up after EVERY meal. I throw up WATER if it's more than 1 or 2 ounces. Largest meal in 7 weeks? 1/2 a deviled egg. THATS IT. 40 pound loss over 7 weeks is nice, but I just don't think it's worth the hassle.
The surgery is not worth the hassle?
I’m so sorry to hear that you were having a rough go of it 😞 I hope that you are doing better now my friend! ❤️❤️
I’m supposed to have gastric sleeve next month and find I’m finding the pre op diet very scary. I hope I have the strength to get through it. I have a sugar addiction and never thought about a transfer addiction. 😳😬
After consultation did you have to do therapy or lose a certain amount of weight before they approved you a date for surgery?
@@flossyraven I had to do liquid diet for 2 weeks and no therapy. I had the sleeve a month ago and still have my sugar addiction. Luckily I can’t eat much or I would have a problem.
@@sandrahunt4436 why do you have to be on a liquid diet for 2 weeks before the surgery? That sucks your sugar cravings have not gone away a month after your sleeve. I know at least with keto the craving for sugar lessens after a week. Thank you for replying btw.
Thank you, Samantha
What made you decide to do the bypass versus the sleeve?
It was actually the decision of my surgeon! They gave me my options, and we went over what would be best for me. On the day of my surgery, once they had a view of what my body looked like internally, they determined that I was a better candidate for RNY vs. VSG ☺️❤️
Thank you so much for your response and content.
You can have the weight loss surgery in Turkey for $3,000 including hospital bills return ticket and 3-days stay in a hotel the hospital name is Ekol hospital
Very interesting for sure to hear how it works in other parts of the world!! 😯 As far as my advice, I would say speak with your doctor! I’m not a medical professional and am only sharing my experience! 😊 Best of luck to you on your journey!!
Thanks Dear
No thanx. Ill stick with the u.s
Where can I find the pro video please?
I have 2 friends who had weightloss surgery. One has gained 15 lbs back due to drinking carbonated beverages. She says no dctr told her she couldn't & she stretched her pouch. The other now looks anorexic & I really worry about her!
Thank you!
My 18 year old is having this surgery the 25th of October and I am not so sure it’s a good idea considering her upper GI shows a delay from stomach to duodenum which indicates that the problem is her gut bacteria. That makes sense since as a child she had daily antibiotics for an autoimmune issue that she developed after H1N1 vaccine. I feel like we might be better off correcting her gut bacteria first. Apparently it screws everything up but mainly it cause vitamin and mineral deficiency triggering hunger. The body is looking for nutrients from food so it always kicking off hunger switch. This poor child doesn’t ever drink soda and doesn’t even have a sweet took. She craves chicken, chicken and chicken. When she eats she doesn’t get full because her body doesn’t tell her she is full. I read she needs FIBER with a probiotic or it will not work and she also needs prescription strength vitamins D, which can only work with magnesium. Won’t she still have these issues with a sleeve? IDK what to do?
So sorry for the late response! I think it is incredibly honourable of you to be so concerned for your daughters wellbeing.
I had gastric bypass surgery 23 years ago...by Mal. Fobi & the medical baggage you will have to carry FOREVER is the down side. I was one of the first patients the military paid for. Dumping will NEVER go away. I now struggle to gain weight...113lbs is where I settled & it freaks my Dr's out. At 5ft 5in she wants me to gain weight
Wow... It is always so interesting to hear from people who had the surgery before it became so common!!
If u don’t mind how much weight the surgery helps u to lose and in how long ?
Also how was ur diet after the surgery till now ? Could u control ur appetite for sweet food ? And the amount for each meal ?
Just had mine 5 days ago
Congratulations, Vicky!! I hope your recovery is going well so far! 🥰❤️
@Samantha_rny13 It's going well, thank you so much! But the 2nd week after the op, I didn't lose any weight at all, even though can't eat anything! Have you dealt with sth like that as well?
What is your height Samantha?
I am 5’4! ☺️
Ok thank you!
My opinion is the WLS should only be offered as a “last ditch effort” to help morbidly obese people to lose weight as a life saving measure. Any kind of WLS surgery is life altering in terms of how you will have to change your eating habits. Overeating can be very uncomfortable or even dangerous to someone with gastric bypass surgery.
That being said, there are absolutely people for which WLS is truly their only alternative. I’ve been overweight most of my adult life. If never been obese enough to consider WLS as a solution. I’d always rather doing it the old fashion way (caloric reduction and increasing my exercise activity). I like to have “cheat days” without having to consider if I’m going to have some kind of side effect.
That’s totally fair! I appreciate that you’ve put a lot of thought into this topic before commenting blindly. It was definitely a breakdown moment for me, where I realized that this was my last resort. I needed help to dig myself out of the hole I had jumped in to, and I’m so blessed that it has worked out for me thus far. Thank you for watching, and for joining in the conversation! ❤️❤️
Do you regret having weight loss surgery
Absolutely not! It’s one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I regret not having it sooner! ☺️
I know someone who had an op a few months ago…. She said it was a different procedure not a weight loss thing.
They where quite overweight and unfit I saw them at Christmas 🎄 I was shocked 😮 she looked Awsome she had lost so much weight.
Recently she has had gasto issues ie vomiting and feeling rough.
She has lost even more weight.
I had to ask her had she had a weight loss procedure she said no.
So now I’m really worried the level at which she’s lossing weight is very concerning.
It’s really sweet that you’re concerned about your friend. ❤️ However just remember, medical procedures/issues are a very personal thing, and she may be wanting her privacy. I am very open about my surgery, but I know there are people out there who may not be as comfortable sharing as I am, and that’s okay too. ❤️
How much u.lost weight plz can u tell
