3 back surgerys while active, extreme sciatic pain for 10 years after retirementi probably had 50 epidural injections for EXTREME pain, work in a hospital, went to doc there he said i can have continual back surgery for years... or get the weight i had steadily gained since the 1st back surgery off. I was 180lbs in bootcamp 230lbs at 15yr mark and first surgery (im 6'3). 10 years after retirement with little to no activity i was nearly 350. I found a doctor the execs in the hospital used, got a procedure called duodenal switch 2 years ago... i eat constantly to keep my protein up, take alot of vitamins, and eat even more to try to gain weight because i cant get above 155lbs no matter how much i eat. Things are different... but my back feels great i can even golf again, ... whole new wardrobe, age 80 seems possible again, and life is good. Find a great surgeon, ask for duodenal switch (youll gain weight back with all the others) and find happiness again. I did. That other guy has no idea what he's talking about.

Yep, Rattler. That pretty much describes what happened with my (ex) spouse. Prior to the surgery, she would NOT leave the kids with a babysitter, as she was concerned what would happen.

Mh counseling is usually required before bariatric surgery.
