Dont ever have a Gastric Band. This will completely mess your body up. My wife had one and rught from the start she had problems, but they wouldn't admit it had slipped. It took her 6 years to get it removed in that time her health deteriated. When it was removed she still had problems. No follow up ,took 18 months chasing. Her problems impacted on her body to the extent that her heart was affected. Unfortunately she died on the 16th December 2024. The truth is the NHS is wrecked, but if you are not working they dont care, because you are a drain on the country. She should not have died at 59.

It’s always ridiculous to hear them make excuses for how they got fat rather than just say the truth, which is..”I was a lazy glutton who constantly overate and never exercised”

How do they stop the stomach acid from leaking out when they cut stomach? Also, the part they are cutting away has the stomach acid, does that mean they've removed it all? Also, Where does the acid go if the body reproduces it as there is no "dip" space for the food to sit in and be digested. I hope this comment makes sense.

Or you can do it, we are believing you I’m totally blind. I had the surgery myself at my worst I was pushing 275 on a 6‘,2“ Mail frame. After 14 weeks I got down to 183 and I’ve been trying to exercise ever since it’s a battle every day for everyone on a weight loss journey.

Hmmmm and some people can pay certain surgeons (no names mentioned but he's in the video) over £10K in the UK & still end up having to go through the NHS because of problems with the surgery & the original surgeon doesn't believe there's anything wrong.

How long post op can we drink after a sleeve

Why don't you mention how much weigh loss

Well done David 🎉🎉

Just brilliant ❤❤❤❤

I found that it's connected to the barometric pressure as well, I can often tell when a storm changes the pressure. I experience symptoms of my fluid level increasing. I haven't been seen in years because I took control of my health. You have to be careful of everything you put in your body and on it. The medication made me sicker, so I weaned myself off of Diamox and all the other stuff. It's a few years since I have required a spinal tap and I have been able to manage my optical swealing. So drinking beet powder and coconut water has extreme benefits for helping with spinal fluid level control and other stuff. I also eat for my blood type, it is backed by science and not all doctors agree with it however, I found that it has given me a quality of life instead of having to have brain surgery and spinal taps a couple times a month. It doesn't cure you BUT it helps give your body the support it needs to begin to heal and manage itself. Also, there are certain herbs and supplements for brain health. Also, changing the lighting in your surroundings is beneficial, when I was at my worst I require lighting with a red undertone, the light had to be really soft. It still can't be crazy bright and staring at computer screens triggers symptoms, but I no longer have to have basically brown light all the time and I am no longer in the dark. Perfumes and other scents are triggering as well so stuff like lavender and peppermint are helpful. Lately, I have considered doing a possible dissertation on IIH. Someone definitely needs to do a mixed methods study incorporating the effects and benefits of natural treatment and the current medical options.

Symptoms sound like start of my Hasimotos

Amen

Hi Andi thank you for this follow up video. After trying GLI program's and only losing close to 11 kg, im finally going to stop being afraid and am getting the mini gastric bypass. I was afraif of the bypass due seeing alot of people woth many sideeffects long term. This has made me along wih a collègue getting it done, choose to do this.

So pleased Andy finally got his op.

Dear Sir. Is there Brazilian surgeons performing this procedure?

👏👏

Thanks for taking out my gallbladder recently. Great job.😁

Great surgeon, he has successfully removed my gallbladder back in 2018 I thank him again for that, Great surgeon and great person too 👍

YES, for the masses, it IS. I was 247.5 lbs/40%+ bmi at 17 years old, my pants were 48x32. I ended up doing Atkins and lost 80lbs. Over the years I lost my way and gained some back, went up to 38x32 slacks. At 42, I now wear a 30-32x32, depending on the brand. Everyone I knew who got that surgery thought they were going to cheat the system, NONE succeded, they were just salty, being jealous of those with hyperthyroidism. They still ate and drank whatever they wanted and gained even more back. I carb cycle depending on training days and try to hit as close to zero carbs when carbs aren't needed. I did it without surgery and all the people I know who might not have done as great as me, have mostly kept it off over the years, vs those believing they could cheat the system.

Well done, Cuz! We are all so proud of you, you look fantastic!🏆👍🏼

Hi Andi. Good on ya! I really wish you'd stick to kilos because us Aussies don't understand rocks and pebbles as weight measurement. You started off at 199Kgs but what are you now? I too am about to undergo weight loss surgery being 125kgs and I want to get down to around 90kgs.

You are an obnoxious odious danger to the NHS Riera, and you have a reputation around those staff members below you. I'm sure you are a darling to your private patients, but some of us have seen the way you behave around NHS patients. I'm sure legal proceedings against you will not be far off. Have fun striking for more money, glutinous oaf.

What a wonderful man to be so brave, to let us watch and see him at his most vulnerable. Thank you sir, you have really helped me 🧡

im about to see my surgeon this friday for first time and hopefully will be having WLS about feb/march time, its awful that your brother thought it was the easy way out, there is nothing easy about losing weight especially with WLS......having to go through all the appointments and showing your committed to change, then the pre-op diet and a lifestyle change for life.....changing your life completely isn't easy.....i bet most people wouldn't get past the first few days of the pre-op diet before giving in......your amazing and i would love for an update on your journey xxx

Good on you love. Proud of what you’ve done. I’m about to have a gastric bypass hopefully February. I’m not hugely overweight but need to lose 25kgs which would get me to a great point but my target is 90kgs. I’m sorry, I did grow up using the Stones reference but it’s now so archaic, it doesn’t mean anything to me. But it sounds as though you’ve lost loads and you must feel wonderful. You certainly look fantastic. I’ll let you know how I go. Lots of love from Western Australia. X

See no one wants to talk about INSOMNIA

Just got to this one year post op video. You look amazing and I understand what my journey may look like. The fills and how they may feel. The info has been invaluable and relatable. Still scared but also excited.

Hi Lisa I first saw your success story video in 2021 when I had reached a low point with my weight and remember just being moved to tears. I related to your struggles but was too scared of the procedure as I am the only parent in my children’s life. I have decided the time is right now and have booked the surgery for next month. Still anxious and scared but just want to do it now, counting down the days. Your story is inspirational and I take comfort in your success. I have binged watched your journey to week 42 so far. Can’t seem to find anything current posted from you but hope you are doing well.
