For years after my WLS I actively participated in the online support forums. They were my home away from, so to speak. These past months many changes have occurred in my life that have me wondering exactly where do I go from here. I no longer feel a connection with the WLS community as a whole. Some believe it is only because of the problems that I have been having lately that have colored my

More and more people are opting for the lapband procedure for WLS. Most believe it will eliminate the nutritional complications associated with the malabsorption procedures like RNY. They are also under the mistaken assumption that there are fewer complications with this procedure.
Junkfood Science shows us the dark side of this popular procedure.

Even before all the difficulties I have been experiencing as of late, I have always disagreed with the idea of kids having WLS. I have even gone back to some of my earlier posts on the support forums to make sure my own words didn’t come back to haunt me. Even when I was a staunch supporter of WLS, I was looking at the possible long term effects it may have if used on kids.
I stumbled on a blog

I moderate the comments on this blog to keep out spam. I’m not here to censor others comments. I recently had a comment that honestly I did not want to publish. It pissed me off and made me sad all at the same time. I’ve been trying to figure out how to respond. Here is the comment. My responses in red.
Why have your posts become so negative about WLS?
I will be the first to admit my present

I have been following the news of the death of Polly Williams. Polly was one of the four women featured in Lauren Greenfield’s Emmy-nominated documentary Thin. The film documents the experiences of young women at the Renfrew Center, a residential facility for the treatment of eating disorders.
Here’s an update on Polly’s death:
There has been much speculation on how Polly died, with many people

Here I go once again writing about eating disorders and WLS. I’ve been very open about my loooooong history with an ED, over 30 years now. I knew I wasn’t alone in this. Shoot, I’m of the opinion if you don’t have an ED before WLS, you sure end up with one afterwards.
Some of the WLS support boards are very much like the pro-ana, pro-mia boards. Well, diet support sites in general, really.

First let me thank my online friends for their support and concern. I appreciate all of your support and encouragement.
With all this junk going on with me, I did what I normally do….research.
Do you know how really difficult it is to find long term research on WLS? It doesn’t exist. Most I could find was for 5 years tops.
