susan lindsey awesome, inspiring! Congratulations! 🍾🎈

I can tell you’re an empathetic doctor who listens. I’ve never met a skinny person who “gets” what it’s like being bigger, unless they were before. One of my worries is finding a surgeon who looks at me with disgust instead of compassion. So thank you for showing me there are gems like you out there!!

I heard your voice in my head today "it is normal to feel hungry....". You help me every day

I am doing the Dr. V challenge, have been for 3 weeks, cut out the snacks, weight is shifting again, my nutritionist is freaking out because 1 I'm vegan 2 she thinks it is unhealthy to eat 3 meals only, but I'm loving it. Sitting on the sofa watching a movie is not an activity 😂😂

Dr V I have tried to lose weight several times for the past 10 years. If you pay cash u can have a sleeve with a BMI of 30. I have a BMI of 30 and scheduled for an appointment next week. I was head on convinced I’m going to do it. After watching multiple videos I’ve realized I can do it on my own. I’m going to follow your diet system. Thank you 🤗😘

Best video by him that I’ve seen! I had vsg 3 years ago, lost 107 lbs. I’ve gained back almost 25!!! I never had a solid system in place like he talks about.. I pretty much thought I was good because I eat so much less than I used to, but I was wrong!! It came on quick when life got stressful. This video was very informative and I’m going to put it to use to take off this regain and hopefully a little more.

Dude.. Seriously.. you are so fricken funny.. Love watching you :)

The Dr V diet is probably about 900 calories a day , that’ll definitely work ! I have 2 friends who had WLS and regained due to snacking .

Link me to the Dr.V diet please because google didnt help.

I told everybody and still tell everyone I meet. I am proud of myself for having had the sleeve. I am just over a year out and I still follow my doctors recommendation. Don't drink 30 min before/after meal. Don't snack between meals. Don't drink alcoholic beverages as they contain to much calories. I am down to my ideal weight, bmi 21, and I obviously want to keep my weight off so all your videos are much appreciated 🙂❤❤❤

Thank you Dr V ❤️ I am post op 9 months Went on vacation April ‘19 Said oh just a few cokes won’t hurt, boy was I wrong!!! Don’t be me don’t lie to yourself

I didn’t even get to tell my coworkers. I mentioned it to my boss because I’d need the time off. And next minute they’re bringing it up at the staff meeting when EVERYONE Is there. It’s not that I don’t want to tell people, I just want to tell them in my own time and on my terms. It’s my business so I should be the one to share it 😑

Samii ASMR I agree, that was unprofessional that ur supervisor broke your confidential discussion, it should have never been brought up at a staff meeting! Nobody’s business! I am a manager and when an employee tells me something, I never tell their co-workers! Sometimes their co-workers are nosey and try to pry, I tell them they need to discuss anything they need to know from with co-worker, I never share personal information! I didn’t tell anyone at work, it’s none of their damn business. This is my body and my personal journey! I know Dr V says “no one cares”, but they will start watching everything u put in ur mouth, asking u multiple questions, sometimes give negative unsolicited advice or feedback back about “someone who died from wls” ect Talk about food all day , blah, blah, blah ..Who needs that? Hearing ur losing too much, asking how much u lost ect I think it puts more pressure on u. This is not only a physical change, it’s also a mental change and big life changing adjustment! That is a big challenge, the less outside “noise” I have to deal with the better, especially the first year! I love Dr V. but I disagree with this point! You have to do things at ur own pace and when u feel comfortable to tell a bunch of strangers at work about ur personal business! Just like he said, “no one cares” , then why is it so important to share your personal information with a bunch of strangers who doesn’t give a damn about you? 🙄 I agree about the snacking, it is a problem that I have to restrain myself from doing and finding a mentor! 😊

You really are my mentor. I found you on KZread about a week ago and man you are awesome. I have been referred for wls and I have been trunk to do research and you are the BEST thing I’ve come across....

Dr. V, THANK YOU FOR CAREING ENOUGH TO DO WHAT YOUR DOING FOR US!!! Athena

The realness of your message is "unreal". I appreciate every bit of it.

Lifelong journey so don’t get frustrated at 6 month stall.....I needed to hear that...thanks Dr V!!!

I wish I was in your program! I'm so glad you said "no snacks". That's what I've been struggling with. I used to snack all day and got away from that long before surgery and don't want to get into that habit again. I love and appreciate your videos. So helpful!

I Have kept it off.....17 years. I was 330 lbs, 5’ 3” and 35 years old. I am still FAT...170 lbs. I have had no other surgeries. I am not in such great health....blood dyscrasia, and neurological and cardiac issues from my type of anemia. Watching you....has triggered a strong desire to push myself, to find better health and well-being. Thank you!! I am enjoying green smoothies (with hemp seeds)daily, small salad, small low carb focused Mel for supper....NO SNACKING and drinking 5 bottles of water daily. All I am doing is brisk walking, and some stretching and moving about in the pool. DOWN 9 more pounds in less than a month. I honestly really do feel better, in my head and body. God bless your NO NONSENSE methods!

12+ years post-op and I am still able to get great info from this. I still cannot be trusted with a snack lol. It still becomes an Apple pie. Thanks!

Hey hunny what surgery did u get and what are your stats now and before? I’m still stuck between bypass or sleeve

Bastric bypass 3 days ago. Regain of the weight even prior to this video was the biggest thing I want to avoid. So me, me, me! And you are 100% nobody cares. I always tell my friends that when they think everyone is talking about them

End of 2021 and I'm almost 5 weeks post op. Your videos are helpful and so transparent! Thank you so much for your videos!! You help people stay accountable!

I had a plastic surgeon tell a student that I had exercised my weight off and now I had all this extra skin. I looked at the student and told him, No I had bariatric surgery.

Wow. Stumbling on this is the best! Thank you for reigniting the fire in me. No more regain!!!!!!!

I am so grateful for your videos! I had my sleeve surgery done in Mexico and I loved my process and care there! I have family who after I had surgery had it here in AZ and neither of us have the after care and education that you give. I am thankful for your tools! I watch your videos, lives and just ordered your book!

your so right Dr. Vuong, about telling everyone your gong through a weight loss surgery, eve if your just doing the Optifast Program, I am doing the Optifast Program and have lost 57 lbs and going strong....

Hi dr. V I enjoyed your video today today is Saturday and it really hit home with me. I have a y gastric bypass and I have about 50 pounds I still need to lose so I am going to buy the spinach and protein and the fruit and veggies and salads start taking care of me and stopped drinking sodas really really needed this so thank you.

This is exactly what i needed to hear. Sounds like the military, your given an order no questions asked and you just do it. Thanks for the work you do Dr. V. Will be watching more videos.

i needed this, thanks a million Dr for keeping it bluntly honest and raw!!

Thank you for being my mentor. I watch your videos over and over again--my daily shot of Dr. V!

Dr V I just listened to your talk and man I love every topic you touched on for keeping the weight off after surgery. I am so thankful that I am able to take this with me when I have my surgery 👍

FEAR=FAILURE...love you Dr. V!!!! 💖💖💖💖

Your videos are very educational and motivating...straight-up...no BS. I am a lap-band fail case...(it was a different surgeon in 2014 (Colorado)...I blame only myself. Anyways, I am tuning into you and I am grateful to get back on track with my food choices. What you say and teach makes a whole lot of fundamental truth(s). Thank you!

I want to keep the weight off!. Btw you are an excellent educator. You are so multi-talented, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I LOVE Dr. Vuong he's soo DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This doctor has really helped me with not only understanding my bariatric surgery and before I have it and what to expect after I have it and the realities of maintaining the weight loss.

memememememe, 3 months out from surgery researching all I can. Love your channel, best straight up advice I have found

I really enjoyed this video! I am from Manitoba Canada and I had my sleeve surgery December 18/17. Really hoping to be successful and happy to have found you and will continue to follow you

Wow, I'm on my journey, currently 220 on my way to 130 I so needed to hear this!!

Favourite video ever!!! Thank you for your wisdom, kindness and humour 💕💕

I want to keep my weight off for life ,Me,Me.Me. DrV your the Best!!!! Most Awesome Teacher!!

Lol I love this man “don’t think! That’s what fucked you up in the first place!” 😂🤣😂 He seriously has been my mentor lately. I’m down 62lbs but haven’t lost anything in almost two weeks. I need to step it up on my nutrition and do the dr v diet

Dr V I have several of your books and listen and watch you .....so I made you my virtual mentor long time ago!

Wow! I have my surgery the first week in March of 2024. I know some things, talked to a couple of people who had the surgery, made up in my mind that I needed to make some big changes. I've been pretty successful so far. The weight loss isn't as fast as I'd like it to be, but it's coming off. Sure wish I'd known about Dr Vuong before my surgery. I will be implementing as much of what he shares as I possibly can! Never too late!

Truth and real stuff!! I love your videos and learning!! I'm 3 months till i get my surgery. I am getting your book next week, can't wait 😊

I absolutely LOVE these videos! Thank you for posting them for everyone to enjoy.

Best video yet

I thought long and hard about weight loss surgery and am 10 days away from surgery. I've watched several of your videos and appreciate so much what you are saying and look forward to reading your books. This is a journey I've set out on and will use you as my virtual mentor!

“Y’all cannot snack! Y’all cannot be trusted with a snack!” 🤣🤣🤣 💯

I love Dr v's honesty

I want to keep the weight off long term. I love you because you tell it like it is. Your a straight shooter just like I am.

Words to live by, Dr. V!

The other comment I have is that I love your diet because it actually saves a bunch of money on excess groceries.

Thanks for your honesty Dr V! I love your videos!!!! Best video's EVER!!!!

Just in my first month of my supervised weight loss program before my surgery ❤

I had the bypass surgery. Lost a lot of wieght. Got healthy. Looked good, felt good. Unfortunately, I put most of the weight back on. I've given up on trying to loose weight. I'm so uncomfortable. I just don't have the motivation anymore. I dont care who knows I had surgery. I told everyone.

What an Amazing Pep Talk- thank you (Los Angeles)

I am going for my psych eval tomorrow, then my surgery can be scheduled!! I am nervous, excited, but overall, ready to get a new tool to get to my goal weight!

You are SO incredibly motivating! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge for the greater good!

Real talk with doctor Vuong 💯

I can’t wait to get gastric sleeve or gastric bypass which ever my dr decides for me I did my research about gastric sleeve surgery and gastric bypass for many years now ❤

I just subscribed to your channel bcuz you give me life. I recently had vsg 3 months ago and your videos have helped me sooooo much!!!!! I want to be successful in my journey so I definitely will take in everything you give advice on

Thanks Dr for a valuable guidance 🙏

Respect you more and more Dear Dr Vuong!! thanks for the video we love you in the Nederlands

Lol Dr. V is hilarious😂. Love him

This is some of the best info I have heard. Unfortunately I am kind of alone and a mentor ..well that is harder than it sounds. You said it in the beginning, people have their own shit going on and not everyone is really happy about our weight loss, which I will never understand. But thanks for sharing I really needed this!

Needed this so much! Thanks, Dr. V!!!

You are my mentor! 💞

Spooky Mech I agree! I don’t want people constantly discussing my wls , asking how much I lost weekly , monitoring my meals, giving negative advice ect Dr V. doesn’t work in a big office with a bunch of busy bodies! Somethings need to stay private. It’s not because I fear gaining or being unsuccessful it none of anyone’s damn business, period! When my weight start dropping I will simply say I changed my eating habits for a healthier lifestyle . That’s it, no dieting stories , don’t want to discuss food all day with a bunch of strangers at work! 🙄

Doc I’m a nurse I had gastric bypass on 1/17/23 I wish to meet you in Los Angeles.

Love your videos, o the point with awesome information on this journey

Just found you recently Dr. Vuong. Watching from Germany. I think I found a good patient channel in U.S.A situated channel Karen Sandiego! I think she does it great because she also includes all the mental struggles!

Dr V you are awesome! Love yr advice. On my journey 😊
