What are some of the protein SUPLIMENTS?

In my case, an EGD done 6 YPO showed that my Sleeve was made huge. So I never really had a “real Sleeve.” I was about to ask for Revision to RNY, but my NEW bariatric surgeon will likely recommend a Re-Sleeve. If that doesn’t do the trick, enter Zepbound. This video is 4 years old. It seems like Re-Sleeves are becoming more popular lately, than they were during the time of this video.

What about if you currently have no at risk illness but does will a procedure be covered for the potential of developing at risk of pre-diabetes hypertension ECT

I wish that people who consider this diet could muster up the actions and self control they have in preparation for the surgery. All of a sudden obese people seem to be fully conscious of their eating habits and filled with drive to exercise and are able to lose the weight which they believe is impossible to do. But they do it. For the surgery. This proves that it is mental. This is body dysmorphia and the doctors prey on this to make money. This is a medical scam. Poor people 😢 who believe this is the answer. I wish we could simply tell people they had the surgery and allow the placebo effect to work. People, you cannot live well without your stomach.

Thanks for all your support ❤❤

Looks like I been missing all your youtube videos, so I hit were it shows all ,

I sure have missed your walks and talks , please do more

Great information . I’ve been wondering about the subject. Question: I’m a liitle confused. I thought marijuana cures nausea which is why the would suggest its use for cancer patients. Is that not the case?

With the mfg pens (Wegovy, Zepbound), can they be thrown away as is, or should they be collected in a sharps container as well?

Very interesting information … with the pictures and info you have shared I believe that this may be a factor for me. I’m excited to take more weight off and see how it improves. Def want to discuss more in depth at our next visit.

Thanks for all the info and support that you provide to your community

This is awesome. 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 way to go, Benny.

What if you've had the sleeve, not high bmi, but have the reflux, doing the meds. How do you get away from the meds? You can't qualify for the new surgery.

I had GB four years ago. I never was able to get a sense of fullness (never had before it either). But I went from over 340 to 180. I gained some of it back (but have also been lifting weights/building muscle), so some of it is muscle. But I definitely started gaining fat as well. I started semaglutide recently. I think it compliments GB well. I do not regret the surgery one bit (I had no major issues with my surgery). Good video. :)

Everyone says this is not a complete protein?

she is right, I just had surgery a few weeks ago and I was already regretting it. The recovery is painful uncomfortable and made me very depressed. I couldn’t eat and it made my mindset worse. However, once I dropped the first 15 pounds my perspective changed. No my biggest regret is, why didn’t I do this earlier?

Ahahaha hahaha hahaaaaa ahhahahahahahhaha ah. Lot of gas 😂

Yes this was extremely helpful

Had RNY bypass august 2021. Went from 255 to 170 lbs on 1 year. Over 2 years gained 15 pounds. Couldn’t lose nor gain weight at 184 for last 2 years. Still good restrictions . Zepbound started June 2024. Now down to 160lb. Goal since beginning 150-155 for 5’5”. Was a good weight for me early 30’s. Now just turned 60. 130 pounds too boney on my large bone frame.. Still glad had RNY. Grateful for Zepbound..

any form of liquid goes directly to the small intestine and i look pregnant and are pale und ligh headed. its aweful. what can i do ? kind regards.

Madamme you talk some good information. I think you need to look at why these alcohol sugars does the trick. My assumption from practical notes says these affect the stomach acidity levels lowering the ph and allowing the pyloric splinter to open.. the sugar alcohol liquid tincture herbals does the same thing also if not well diluted in water. This is important information for all. These sugar alcohols are causing acidic undigested chyme to move into dueodum and the trigger hormones and signals for pancreatic juices and little bile does not get involved. Leading to acidic chyme entering the soft tender small intestines and calling for h20 to come to the rescue. Hope your fans understand that avoidance of these substances are critical for fixing these issue.

I just stay on propanol 20 mgs. Thats the only thing has helped me. My heart rate would go from 68bpm to 175bpm in a matter of minutes

Walking right now.

Hello dear i have one question can you have gastric bypass surgery even you have normal weight and normal bmi but severe gerd

Hello Madame Can you speak more slowly? I am not American

I never had any gastric surgery, any surgery whatsoever on my stomach but I started having these symptoms a year ago. Since then it's gotten worse. I have to limit sugars to my cheat days, after some chocolate, pop and pizza yikes the sweating starts, the grumble and then the run to the bathroom. It's really cleaned up my diet going through this. I've had to stick to meat, real butter, cheese, vegetables and sprouted bread and have smaller meals more often to make sure that sugar spike doesn't happen. Thank you doc, this is the best explanation I've heard.

Always so nice to see a new video from you Dr. Hodges! I need to start doing this. I'm 9 months post GB RNY ... 💗😁💗

Great suggestion. I used to do this after the surgery but hadn't done it a couple of years. It made me feel so much better, too. I need to start back again. Thanks for the motivation.

I've been running a bariatric surgery support group since 2001. I see patients far more than their surgeons do, so there are things they tell me they won't tell their surgeons. 9 out of every 10 patients who have their pouches stretched beyond the norm, were soda drinkers from the start... drinking them all day long. They also over ate consistently. I just never saw it with a patient who followed those particular rules.

I had the gastric sleeve 4 years ago without any history having acid reflux. I’ve been on and off protonix and Carafate for the last 2 years. I feel bloated and don’t really eat much anymore due to not being able to breathe. I never wanted bariatric surgery again. I’m scared of the bypass. But recently got diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus by my GI doctor. He says I can monitor and take PPIs for the rest of my life or have the bypass. I really don’t know what to do. Any advice is appreciated.

Help! We have been trying to figure out what is wrong with my daughter for her entire 16 years of life. We’ve seen a gastroenterologist and a rheumatologist and doctor after doctor. She has every single one of these symptoms when she eats… She also has ARFID AND HAS A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF FOODS THAT SHE CAN EAT. SO WHEN SHE EATS, SHE FEELS HORRIBLE. BUT EVERYTHING THAT I’M READING SO FAR IS CONNECTED TO GASTRIC SURGERIES. SHE’S NEVER HAD THAT… CAN YOU LEAD ME IN THE DIRECTION OF FINDING MORE INFORMATION ABOUT PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING THIS WHO’VE NEVER HAD SURGERY BEFORE?

Hi and Good Morning, I went and bought this product and thank you so much for introducing this to me. I’m actually getting close to getting all my protein intake. I can’t thank you enough for the second chance in life you gave me and now this doable protein. I’m truly blessed that you entered my life. See you in July. ❤

Thanks for the info. Btw, not a fan of the walk & talk. Just sayn.😊

If the pouch doesn't stretch what is a revision for please. Thank you

I had a revision but I can tell I can eat more and I don't get that full feeling. I know my stomach was made smaller but don't think pouch was. Can I have another revision. I had Roux-en-Y in Feb 2003. I never knew all this information. Immso guilty of lance peanut butter crackers. Im crying. I graze all day and inactive mostly after 4 back surgeries. I need a do over

Love your glasses!

Why would someone have these symptoms but have not had surgery? I’ve had these episodes all my life…never had gastric bypass surgery.

I've had people ask me if they implanted a chip when I had my bypass!!!

I have the worst effect if I eat syrup on a pancake or waffle.

Great idea but I’m gonna need much more coffee to get going in the morning. 😂.

#charlotte Hodges md Hi. I’m almost two years post op vsg. I’m still eating high protein. I’ve not one time deviated from the diet. I’ve lost 235 pounds and still losing my hair.

I been waiting to the walk and talk , I been able to receive a lot of good information, live in Kentucky starting weight Jan 22 2023 was 314 , doing my Dr protein I loss 45 pounds before my surgery date on July 11 of today I'm 205 , at 72 on Feb 28 of this year , I went through and watch every video you have done , so Thank You ,

Hi Dr. Hodges! Thank you for this video. I had a Lap Gastric Bypass RNY in September 2023. I started to notice my hair thinning/shedding/falling out in October 2023. And now a little over 6 months post op I am still losing a fair amount of hair. I'm making sure I get enough protein. I do take my vitamins and supplements religiously. My recent labs were all normal. My Iron was on the low end of normal so I'm now taking an Iron supplement with Vitamin C in it. I'm really hoping the additional Iron will help and that my hair will stop falling out. I'm down 98 pounds. I lost 40 pounds during pre op period, and I've lost 58 since my surgery and going strong. I really appreciate your helpful and informative videos! 💗😁💗

Im 5’9 160 pounds a little chubby but like im 23 and have acid reflux everyday crutching omeprazole im miserable just want to feel normal again

I feel my episode coming on; light headed, unable to focus my eyes, weakness and draggy. I have had weight loss surgery, but no GP has ever explained this so clearly . Thank you Dr. Hodges.

Thank you for your channel and for your sound advise. I appreciate it. Many thanks from Australia.

Doctors lie for money all the time.

I am suffering from what I think is severe GERD, Post sleeve surgery in 2018. I have gained significant weight back and have no all these horrible symptoms. Horrible heart burn, acid reflux, throwing up in my sleep at least once a week and my mouth feels like I sucked on battery acid all the time and nothing helps. Of course getting into Gastro takes months as they are super booked and they say you can always go to the ER. ER won’t do anything for you. They will just tell you to go see a specialist. The scariest part is throwing up in my sleep. Praying I get answers when I finally see a doctor in 3 weeks. Super scared they may recommend bypass surgery.

Well said!!!
