If you are going down the weight loss surgery road, please read blog post.
Read up on the surgeries (all of them) to see what would be a good fit for you…remember any WLS works and none are better than the other no matter what anyone says…..WLS is a complete life (lifestyle) change and for best results, always do what the dr who operates on you advises..
unless you decide to eat better and exercise.. no WLS will help you…….people get one surgery, it dont work for them and off they go to another one as i read those type of stories/posts daily..
the person looking at oneself in the mirror is a HUGE reason a WLS can work or not work…….(granted some complication can and does happen on any WLS) but those are small risks in my opinion to gain a longer life.
so if you want to be healthy and get healthy
do it….but expect to do some work…
That’s probably really good advice for any change we make with the goal of improving our health. There are no quick fixes. There’s just making a decision and then sticking with it over the long haul, realizing that progress will not be linear.
some say its an easy way out…it was one of the hardest things i ever did…done….
it did save my life…from one who could not hardly walk to someone who can..i will take it..
it was not about me getting to 100 pounds…it was about me (walking)….for me to be able to push my granddaughter in her stroller (i could not have 3 yrs ago)…..and i did not want my hub/son and daughter in law and new baby granddaughter to be ashamed of what i look like
i think that way sometimes now
that inner fat demon i do battle with daily
Please don’t take my comment as a criticism. It’s certainly not. I know of at least one other person who chose the same option out of the same necessity. I believe it takes the same commitment to lifestyle change as any of the other options for improving one’s health.
heck no
you my friend..i am so fine with my choice
happy i did it
otherwise id be 700 pounds..truth
🙂
Partly my problem.. I expect to do it… without doing any work ha!
yes mam…..BUT we must..so go walk..i dont care how long or far but that you did
that is what matters
