Real Talk: "Emotional Mind Games After Weight Loss Surgery"

[@katokhaelan4881]

Dr. V, I'm so incredibly grateful I stumbled upon your channel. I was sleeved last September and I've lost 100 pounds, but still have 50 to go. Your videos are so life changing for me. My surgeon was great, but I only spoke to him a couple of times and I didn't receive any of this info. Just mind-blowing stuff. Thank you so much!

[@marysoler8713]

What you do matters So So much! Thank you!

[@judofan8788]

Just love this Dr. It's like sitting in a classroom with your favorite teacher 👍

[@reedallidap7173]

judofan RIGHT?! That’s exactly how I feel. I’m so glad I found him

[@CountryGirl-oz1sq]

I’m addicted to Dr.V lol

[@sw4716]

Right, the one that tells you the hard stuff but you take it cuhs you know they mean well

[@CountryGirl-oz1sq]

I can’t believe your lectures are free .I thank you so much it all makes sense everything is so true to real life!

[@sequaumalone1587]

[@chrisreynolds6391]

And the F bombs mean they aren't even monetized!

[@MsCocoa75]

True Teachers know knowledge doesn’t belong to anyone and it is far more beneficial to give education away. People will pay you because the information resonates. When he said Amen that is church talking, Stop listening to broke ass friends is MA-MA talking and Daddy talking. Church is the most monetized entity for free information. I lost 95 on my own meaning no surgery exercised everyday Then I feel into a depression and now gained 85. I was most successful when I journaled. I failed just like he said. The thoughts dud not stop. Relationships changed for sure, I did feel uncomfortable at work. But I could work and move better Amen! I hated people looking my shakes and veggies Saying is that all you’re gonna eat? Omg this Dr knows his stuff!!! Day 1 is now for me. Dr Wong let me get your book please!! I have to get thus weight off again thus time for good.

[@evolsome]

Dr. V I have surgery scheduled in 3 days! For the last 6 months....I have struggled mentally, I have done extra psych visit because I know I am an emotional eater. Today I stumbled upon this video, you have helped me more in 36 minutes then 1 hour a week psych visits! Thank you so much! Look forward to reading your books. You are my favorite "skinny Asian" and if I am ever tempted to eat foods that are not helpful to my health again......I pray I hear your voice asking......"what the F**k are you doing?"

[@madelieneskorepa6201]

I find that when I have the "I don't see it" moments (I have lost 90 lbs and still have about 10 more to go. :-) ) the thing that snaps me out of it is to hold the measuring tape out to where it was at 55 inches on my hips when I first started. Looking down at the empty space where the 17 inches I have lost used to be, well THAT I CAN SEE!

[@deysimir6978]

“Oh hell I just lost my skinny Asian where he go.” I just died 😅😂🤣

[@naomilette4041]

I can definitely tell you that with weight loss friendships do change. My ex best friend was always the skinny one but after I had wls and lost a lot of weight she was very mean to me in front of others when we went out and would say comments about me to put me down so she would feel better about her self. Being around toxic people is bad for you mentally, don't be afraid to drop people.

[@bknc2008]

Omg I watched one of your videos, and now I'm addicted ive been cleaning and listening to you for 4 hrs 👍

[@jelambertson]

Dr V is the best resource available on KZbin for Bariatric and general weight loss.

[@raynaphillips5579]

I love your honesty and bluntness. I will keep watching if you keep teaching! Thank you!!!

[@reedallidap7173]

Holy crap Dr. V I swear it’s as if you pick things right out of my brain and speak on them in you tube. When you talked about the Psych eval and it being a ruse, and how of course you have an eating disorder or you wouldn’t be 120 pounds overweight! I literally said “thank you” out loud. I’ve thought that exactly through this whole process!! You are incredible and I’m not one who gives praise easily. Im so glad I found you. I’m post op 3 days

[@jennifermalcolm1985]

Omg !! I wish I found you 6 years ago, sleeved at 180 kgs, 6 kilo loss before surgery, got down to 105 kgs, and now regain 20 kilos to be exact ........ I have lost so much weight, relationships, bad habits. But I fell pregnant 3x had 2 babies, struggles and BAM off track and made excuses and back in the same rut of my realation ship with foods. But back on track and got the kick up the ass I needed, i have 70 kgs to loose, and changing the mindset. Reading your books and seeing my weightloss dr again.

[@zounette99]

I was listening to your video while I’m at work and with tears in my eyes. I LOVE your videos soooo much and am so grateful for you. My life has changed completely this year and it’s 10000% because I started to watch your videos. BECAUSE you made me realize that I had ALL the power and that surgery was only a tool. I am 2.5 months out and opted not to have surgery after meeting my surgeon who is world renown but kept insisting that I was fat ONLY Because of my genetics, as if I had no choice in the matter. Thank you, so much, for saving my life and helping me change the way I think about food and my obesity.

[@MRSMILLER417]

Fear and self love really hit home! This is why I waited so many years to pursue surgery because I thought that I would either fail or that I didn't deserve it. I kept telling myself that I got to this point all by myself and only I can change it. At the same time.. I doubted that I ever would because I've always been overweight and everytime I lost weight, I'd gain it back plus more. I started my liquid diet today, my vsg is in two weeks and I'm going to take full advantage of the tool. My goal is definitely self love. From the inside out. ♡

[@anushkapremchand1349]

How are u doing now dear. Pls update. Lots of love

[@workingmom8162]

Reading this hit home. I'm a month pre-op. Hope you're doing well.

[@MarthaChapmanJaxFL]

Dr V, I have to tell you that this really hit home with me. I've been obese my whole life. I'm down 142lbs, but still see myself at 350+ but my goal weight is still 40lbs away.. I've been stuck at the same weight for 6 months, but realize after listening to this video that I'm stuck because I'm not eating like I know I should be and I'm not loving me... I can't live in fear... I want to live out every day of the rest of my life to the fullest.... Thank you so much for speaking truth to us, even if it stings... We need it and appreciate you for sharing...

[@veevo28]

We're you able to get out of that stall?

[@DaraStarrTucker]

These videos are mind-blowing. Thank you.

[@Hypotrophic67]

Doctor V U the SHI❤ U authentic and bring it! I’ve been watching you for years. My VSG surgery 4-16-24 Thanks 2U and others Im prepared.

[@laurenstacy6269]

This video is EXCELLENT! This should be required viewing by all bariatric patients. I had VSG and I need to review this video once a month as a reminder. A reminder to keep striving for greatness and self love! Thank you so much for this Dr. V. Keep doing your thing!!

[@LilStampBug]

I don't understand why this channel doesn't have over a million subscribers?? You are awesome Dr. V! Thank you so much for your video's :) I'm about a month out from my surgery. *Big Hugs*

[@Mermare]

I think this is my favorite video so far.

[@Mandapanda1987x]

He's absolutely right. I was so scared when I seen my collar bones 😂

[@kenijt520]

Excellent therapy.

[@Ldm0320]

I'm currently in therapy and am considering wls. I've been told I have Binge Eating Disorder. Ive felt 'stuck' and frustrated lately. But listening to this video has helped me tremendously. You actually confirmed some things that I've been thinking about but didn't really want to do. But I need to do them in order to "breakthrough". There's a saying: when the Student is ready the Teacher will appear. Thanks Dr V.

[@yvetteneal6431]

Beautifully done! I see so many post op patients bragging about being cute, then complain they ate the wrong foods causing pain and other problems. Definitely didn't get the mental understanding of what the surgery is for. Thank you for putting this information for anyone to see!

[@sawyerthereal]

I just had my VSG 9 days ago. I have lost 17 pounds since surgery and 70 lbs total since the beginning. In all those months I have not learned half of what I have learned with Dr.V You are a godsend. I am so grateful to have found this channel. Thanks for all the great advice Dr. V and for caring so much for this community. Hope I can meet you some day!

[@omayrapadilla1625]

Omg my surgery it's Thursday and I'm happy buy I want a cry . This is so realistic.. thanks Dr. Thank you very much

[@Luvlylasha]

I am sooooo glad I found your channel BEFORE I got surgery. I am going for VSG and I'll be starting the process next week with all of my preliminary stuff. I feel not just informed but empowered after watching you (I've been binge watching for days now Lol). I really feel like my mind is changing. Thank You so much!!!

[@jessicadarden4664]

You are just 100% honest. I wish more Drs were straight up and relatable like you. You could teach a lot of THEM a thing or two like you do us. You are the realest!!!! 😊

[@aleshadoughartyadams7276]

This is so powerful!!!! Thank you Dr V. I was sleeved 2/12/24. Been overweight since very young. Biggest change in college and then up from there. Pre surgery weight 270 at pre surgery weight and highest weight 290 after an injury that left me non weight bearing for months! I appreciate your honesty and willingness to address the psychological aspect. My program has a support group but they focus on the tips for how to lose the weight not the “head space”. I just came across your channel a few weeks ago and I am addicted to your philosophy and have watched your videos daily!❤❤❤

[@hstinder]

I am so glad I found this video! I recently lost 80+ pounds with Ozempic, diet and exercise. Your first point of "not seeing it" really hit home!! It took me FOREVER to finally buy new clothes that actually fit me because I couldn't bring myself to actually pick up the size medium clothes off the rack to try them on! I wore XXL clothes that hung on me for months. This is a very real thing! Thank you for validating me!

[@gingervincent1969]

I love this talk! I had Roux Y in 2005. After 2 divorces and nearly losing my life to an ulcer, I changed about everything and walked away from so much! No regrets. I am now in a normal bmi and I am toning what remains and not dependent on Iron infusions and my life is so much better. I wish I would have heard this in the early 2000's. I had no idea what I was going through. I had counselors, but no one understood all this, just the outside environment. God bless you.

[@tanzanite8908]

My bff lost 50lbs and always said there was no change. Had to show her a before and after picture before she accepted that we can all see her success.

[@rebeccamiller1741]

It will work for me ! I just lucked onto you a week ago Dr.V ... i see the work ahead .. I just had my surgery 14 hrs ago 👍

[@jacquelinelaboy8661]

How do you feel ? My surgery is two weeks from now super anxious .

[@Brenda-fc5th]

Dr V, it’s 5/22/2022 and your lectures are life saving. Thank you for “layman’s terms” or easier to understand lectures. I’m grateful and will get the books!

[@maradot9598]

Fear is a motivator. Love is a relaxer. Have to find a balance of - motivation with calm resolve.

[@kimthielker2355]

Great Word! It matters! Awesome inspiration!

[@KellieFlores-p1q]

Meditation; goal setting, journaling, meditation. Do the work!

[@leighannjohnston3861]

Dang Dr.V ! I'm going to have to replay this one a few times!!! #mindblown💥

[@Bobble1]

Much respect. I just found your channel. I’m a definite student of yours now. I’m a type 1 obese. Band conversion on June 12 to VSG. Already deathly afraid of stretching pouch and hitting plateau. Been meditating for past 8 months. Stopped journaling but will resume along with goal setting. I took the before Pics prior to surgery. I have many envious folks as well as supportive ones around me. They know what I’m capable of accomplishing. But many feel safe knowing I’m still obese. Wait until I get my attorney license. At 46, all of my hard work will pay the fk off. I’ve been evolving since childhood when I realized I was not the norm. Thanks for the reality check. I’m also trying to not smoke cigs. I smoked 25 years. I fought like hell to get the VSG. I’ll be damned if I don’t succeed.

[@michellealipat4381]

Thanks soooo much for sharing this. I was sleeved 2-5-18 and struggled/struggling with all the above. Worst is that I teach stuff like this every day. Time to get real with myself, love myself, and treat myself as good as I treat others. This video opened my eyes.... thanks!!! 🤗

[@bendover-bz4bc]

AliPat's WLS Journey hello. Did you had any pain while surgery or after surgery? And how much it coasted you ?

[@michellealipat4381]

I had some pain for couple days, and discomfort for another 2 weeks, but honestly, I'm a baby and compared to other injuries I've had, this surgery was nothing. I am very fortunate to have a good insurance plan with kaiser through my work, so It only cost me $10 co-pays for a handful of visits and no copay for surgery. I think all total it cost me $50 + cost of vitamins (@$60) and now I save a ton of money on food.

[@bendover-bz4bc]

AliPat's WLS Journey wow thats awesome ! Unfortunately weight loss surgery is not covered in insurance in my country so i will have to spend some big fat amount for surgery. Anyways in the end health is what matters the most and everyone deserves good health. Thanks for your reply. God bless you with good healthy life

[@michellealipat4381]

not covered? ...ouch... I heard it's pretty cheap in mexico! good luck and god bless you too.

[@jennifercoleman811]

I’ve watched this video before? But tonight I actually felt and began to understand the impact of it... I’m 10 weeks out with so much of my journey ahead and although I ‘knew’ change was coming in multiple areas, having this video to come back too, is so valuable. Before surgery it was a “ concept”... now it’s a “ gradual reality” that I’m learning to know and love the new me as I’m emerging. My life has been about pleasing other people and not disappointing them. My evolution is permitting myself to love myself into daily good choices resulting in health and wellness. I’m worth it. I’ll watch this over and over until it really sticks...❤️ Thanks for saying the tough stuff I don’t hear other places, Dr. V.

[@cherylynngatiuan9536]

I discovered you because of your COVID-19 videos. Being obese myself, I was curious and decided I would listen as I sewed masks to donate to hospitals. I realize this is exactly why I lost focus and had weight regain. I lost myself because I was so afraid and forgot to love myself, take care of myself. I lost 95 pounds on my own and plateaued for longer than my other plateaus. I started to panic and did everything you talked about. Dang... I panicked and forgot to journal and do things that make me happy. I see that now. Thanks for this lightbulb moment!

[@AnedaRoss]

Thanks for making this video Dr. V. I was sleeved 3 weeks ago and I've spent most of my time off work watching your videos (along with other surgeon's videos). You are my favorite.

[@daikennett]

This is probably the most important video on bariatric surgery on the internet. Thank you so much!

[@nevermind501]

He is so spot on! So glad I found him.

[@tracicampbell2688]

Wondering if he cuss in books

[@craftinmom]

Value Yourself…that’s echoing in my brain. VALUE myself. I’m more than my size. My surgery is in 2 weeks and I’m going to do this, I’m going to value myself and succeed, once and for all.

[@phyllis289]

Why did I just fall in love with this doc? I'm subscribing because he's so REAL! I'm going to begin my journal.

[@anng7189]

One of Dr. V's best videos by far. I am just starting the process of WLS and working to get my head in the right place. Thanks, Dr. V.

[@FoxyRoxy2181]

Wow I just found your channel today, I’m having my surgery next month and I’m so happy to watch your videos!

[@allyd5395]

I love Dr. V! I'm binge watching all of these videos

[@maureendimarco8289]

Dr. V, Of all the things I’ve watched and researched during my VSG journey, your content by far resonates with me more than anything else. You are so relatable and down-to-earth and tackle the real barriers to success and offer the solutions. I’m nearing the end of my “checklist” and don’t feel anyone has properly prepared me for my post-op experience like your videos. At the end of the day, we have to do the work but the tools you provide through empathy and insight through working with your patients are invaluable!

[@beverleejohnson2319]

I’ve gained 30lbs after 10 years and you are hitting it right on the head!! Thank you!! I love your messages!!

[@katrinajolicoeur2678]

I use to be that person who lived life to the fullest, my one life, I lost weight, went back to school, kicked butt! 💔 something happened and this video made me realize this. I am now going to reflect heavily after I stop tearing 😢, and start self love again. I am getting gastric sleeve surgery very soon and your videos are a huge part of my journey. Thank you.

[@cookeeee1962]

I came upon this vid , I haven't had WLS but I am fighting for my life really...261lbs to 204lbs and hope to find myself around 150/ 160 pounds . Your video hit home about love and fear. Self love is something that slapped me in the face together with this life is precious. Anyway thankyou , Namaste 🙏

[@jackassfan76]

More Dr.'s need to be like you! The way you look at things is brilliant. It sounds so easy but I have 30 lbs of regain to lose, one day at a time... You are great Thank you

[@jazzsingerlady]

Thank you for this. I'm trying so hard to get ready for my surgery and I know there's so much about my brain that needs to change.

[@bervin7749]

You are the REALEST!! I so appreciate your candor. I felt this in my soul!! ❤❤❤

[@cathycorry3010]

FFS WATCHING this needs to be compulsory for everyone before surgery👏👏👏 I wish I had access to this before mine. Thanks for keeping it real 🖖❤

[@junieboom602]

I found you 3 days ago and i have not stopped watching. The very last sentence hit me harder than ever. You say things that hit my core. I am a chain smoker and obese. Not morbibly but enough that I'm going through the surgery. Im scared i will ruin my organs doing this surgery but yet i wont stop eating or smoking how ironic, i know. I feel motivated more then ever. I cut down on cigs then started setting up my life.

[@jeanedarc]

Update?

[@heathers3747]

I love to watch your videos! I was sleeved 2019 and lost 100 lbs. Thank you for what you do, when I need a dose of reality or support your videos are there.

[@bsweat9230]

Dr V, I had my Psych Evaluation today and finally said out loud that I'm taking time for ME! Anything or anyone who is a stumbling block on my health journey must go.

[@debbygarcia3563]

Thanks for being real! No candy coating it. Very enlightening!

[@hjcdormouse7337]

Finally someone that says it how it is. I am supporting my daughter post gastric bypass that went badly wrong but there is no going back only forwards, and yes it is hard but had surgery gone right it would have been hard. This will help me help here

[@louiseraynshaw4117]

Am grateful for the Universe helping me find you. Having Gastric Bypass on Wednesday coming (19th June) FINALLY, found someone who makes sense and speaks to me. I have just bought all your books and You are now my Mentor. No more thinking for me, I’ve f****d that up for the past 52 years. Plug and play all the way! Bless you a thousand times over.

[@artisanshrew]

I just came across your channel (type 1 patient having surgery in 3 days) and I really think I’m in love!!! Really! I know the surgery is a powerful first step towards maintainable weight-loss, but I ALSO know I’m in for a MAJOR “mind f-ck” if I think this procedure is a quick and simple fix! I’ve been looking for something to help keep me from becoming a neurotic mess after I’m healed and getting back to daily life! I’ve been looking and looking and it seems I’ve struck gold!!! Btw.... Good for you being so quick to recognize this niche and filling the void! Oprah had Dr.Oz, and now KZbin has Dr.V!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ This #ShrinkingAssWhiteGurl is definitely down with this #SkinnyAssAsian 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kelseysmith5032]

I had VSG December 2018. My BMI was 59.8 and I was 23. I stopped weighing myself but last time I checked I had gotten down to a BMI of 43. I’m considering doing a revision and ha be been binging these videos while I have work. My consult is October 6th. This video was amazing for me. I am the one who wanted to be able to eat more or treat myself and it got out of control. I stopped losing and gained back 20lbs.

[@tamaralee7455]

This one is my favorite so far. I love all of his videos.

[@Ms201209]

This guy is amazing.. really honest and direct and cuts all the bullshit out, Clearly wants you to be a better person and genuinely will not play your games when you fuck around.

[@miriamdenijs9604]

This is all so true! Self love, why is it so hard? I am reading The power of NOW by Eckhart Tolle. Good stuff. I live in Holland and had weight loss surgery last september in the hospital in Lelystad. I am down 100 pounds and have a bmi of 24. I lost more than half before surgery. I sent a link of this video out to my wls buddies here in Holland. THANK you for making the video's.

[@heatherbaker3903]

What you do matters! I'm getting big value from your videos and it's really helping me mentally prepare for the effects of the surgery and getting me to think about HOW to think. Thank you!

[@gracehurley2623]

Thank you doc for the REAL talk. It’s what I need for sure. I’m one week into my liquid diet. I have 100 pounds to lose and will be having RNY on 8/22. I will definitely be following you! 🤗

[@LivingLifeLOA]

Yea. Only 2 Emotions. Fear and Love. I've been preaching that (literally preaching) for 20 years. Its in all my books. Powerful statement.

[@sapphire3362]

This was such an eye opener for me. I am starting to regain weight after sleeve 3 years ago. I lost 100 lbs and living my life to the fullest. I have put back on 40 lbs. I need to refocus and get back on track. Thank you for this video. I will invest in myself!

[@triumphbloke2011]

I have only recently come across your channel and I am 18 months post RNY. The pre-surgery education (at least here in t he UK) is so poor, it really is just box ticking really. I am fearful of weight regain and have found your videos to be hugely helpful, your bluntness is necessary but your humour is appreciated too. Thank you for posting the things you do.

[@Mikeyjohncronin]

Excellent words of wisdom again Dr V. Thanks

[@robinderushie169]

Been feeling so much of this. Just popped up today. Meant to be. ❤️

[@meganl1738]

[@cecemartin3377]

I see those who are passive, blaming someone else for why they didn't succeed. My surgery is on April 11th. I see pre-op people, just like me, who are not preparing for this. I'm not perfect, but their lack of knowledge is scary.

[@jesseniacaballero6142]

OMG I think I cried watching your video for the 1st time. The #1 was something I know but needed to hear. You’re amazing.

[@lorigorton591]

So brilliant and REAL. Thank you.

[@jarrodderr]

Been on the fence with this channel for awhile. Until now. This doc gets it. The mental game is undervalued by my care team. They’d rather teach us how to read a nutrition label over and over again. Okay Doc. I’m all in. Let’s see how far this rabbit hole goes…
