Have a convo with you Dr.

I had the same train of thought. she told me that I would be on vitamin and other medicine pretty much moving forward because the stomach cannot absorb the nutrient as it did before. That it was absolutely not guarantee that the weight will stay off as a lot of the patients do not change eating habits and gain the same amount they lost but potentially double the weight


Not trying to discourage you but did wanted to bring these points. Consult with your Medical profesional before going to a bariatric Dr.

I opted for getting a registered dietitian and a psychologist that work with eating disorders as I was diagnosed with binge eating disorder. This May not be your case so please take it as a grain of salt.

Wishing you the best in your journey!!

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
