I stumbled across Dr. V by accident and found he is a wealth of knowledge. He really tells it like it is, and frankly some of it is hard to hear even though he says it with compassion. He's direct and humorous as he explains just about everything you ever wanted to know about surgery, the body, and the mind games associated with weight loss.

One little nugget he described is that when the omentum (the layer of fat that protects our organs) is detached from our stomach area to perform our WLS, the surgeon does not need to reattach it, because it will migrate back and attach itself! How wild is that? Our bodies are insanely complicated and capable of doing amazing things!

Anyway, if you have some time, he is worth watching. Here's the link to his videos.

I'm glad you stumbled across him, I did too, about a year ago and am a big fan! I know there are a couple others on the site who really like him too. Thanks for posting a link for anyone who doesn't know him yet. :)
 
I was a huge fan until I did his weight loss challenge. There is a LOT of "mean girls" going on under the surface and that "support" was the opposite of supportive. I still love his info and how he tells it like it is, but I cannot and won't get involved deeper again.
oh NO one needs that! I'm sorry you experienced that. I just like to hear his stories, and have no interest in buying in.
