  1. Re: Help... I’m so nervous and keep doubting myself with surgery scheduled in 8 days.

    You do you.
    If you chose to back out or postpone surgery for now, please take a deep dive into some keto forums and podcasts. Resolution of diabetic and fertility issues are primary topics.

    The headline is slightly off center from the story's primary message. The article itself raises excellent points about wasting time and money on pre-surgery weight-loss plans for insurance-covered...

    Re: Where do I start?

    Hi, Dgunstone. Three years ago I joined this forum to explore the sleeve. If it were not so costly, I might have taken that route. I still read posts here from time to time to continue my...

    Re: Keto bread

    This is one of the keto breads I make, and it's very nice. I prefer to use one less tablespoon of coconut oil only because it is a pretty oily bread--just an aesthetic thing. I usually spread butter...

    Re: I believe it's the end for me

    I couldn't afford the sleeve and then discovered the low-carb/high-fat way of eating. It's virtually stopped my reflux, and I've lost weight without battling my appetite. Wishing that you find a path...

    Re: Should I do this? Help!

    I don't like to tell people what to do, but I'll tell you what I've chosen and why.

    Re: Concerns About Future Acid Reflux

    Hi, hi, hi. I was in this forum about two years ago, have since discovered keto/lchf with great success, rather than pursue the sleeve option, but sometimes revisit here for overall learning.

    True, blood pressure and diabetes don't get worse, but they don't always get better or stay better.

  17. Re: Hypoglycemia, panic attacks & the gastric sleeve

    Thanks, everybody.

    Given the financial blow and possible health negatives, I think I'll not opt for a sleeve.
