Why I chose the Duodenal Switch over weight loss meds, gastric bypass and gastric sleeve

In this video, "Choosing the Duodenal Switch over weight loss meds, gastric bypass and gastric sleeve" I talk about why I decided to get weight loss surgery over taking medications (for me personally), the weight loss surgery options I had available and how I decided on my procedure. I support all weight loss efforts... whether it is a specific diet, weight loss surgery, weight loss medication or some other effort. I do not think there is a best way for all, but I do believe there is a best way for us individually and it is our responsibility to learn what that is or has to be for us. Which ever path you choose, you can be successful and I am rooting for you!! 00:54 Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional 01:21 If you want information about WLS, the best thing to do is take your full medical history to your provider or a WLS center for an information session. 02:30 normal anatomy and digestion 04:55 Lowering the body's set point with surgery and why I decided to alter my anatomy with WLS over taking Weight Loss Meds at this point. 07:57 Options I had for WLS 08:03 Gastric Sleeve 10:59 Gastric Bypass 15:23 SADI (Was not available as an option with my insurance/provider) 16:52 Duodenal Switch 23:28 study about weight loss surgery successes and outcomes over a 20 year period 25:29 Researching your Weight Loss Surgeon ♡ IG:   / wakeupbright   ♡ FB:   / loveaprillauren   ♡ Website: http://www.wakeupbright.com ♡ Shop My Closet: https://posh.mk/8g8XWZaUJsb (Use code _WAKEUPBRIGHT) ♡ Podcast: https://wakeupbrightwithaprillauren.b... ♡ Contact Info: http://www.wakeupbright.com/contact #Aprillauren #weightloss #weightlosssurgery #duodenalswitch #Wakeupbright #losing200lbs #gastricbypasssurgery #rny #gastricsleevesurgery DISCLAIMER I do not share my experience to give you a template for what to do or what not to do in life, fitness, food or with weight loss. I share in hopes of inspiring others to start, start working towards a healthier and happier life by taking ownership of where they are and where they are going. Quick fix solutions along with guilt and shame based marketing schemes lie.There is not one right way for everyone, but there is a right way for you and you worth doing the work to figure that out. I encourage all to seek guidance from medical professionals, dietitians, therapy and vetted fitness professional as needed. ♡ Links included in this description might be affiliate links.
