I Want to Have Weight Loss Surgery

hoping to be going in for the sleeve in Nov or Dec

Please consider a more natural way. I am losing weight on the keto diet now and not finding it too hard.

I had a friend who got a gastric bypass. She did lose weight, but she was sick and miserable the whole time and she finally had it removed. I know someone else who lost weight after the same operation...But then gained a lot of it back in spite of the bypass.

One of these days there will be a real medical cure or treatment for obesity. Genetic medicine may offer a lot of hope for the obese. Meanwhile, avoid surgery if you can.

@greenmountaingal the gastric bypass is different. The sleeve is not recruiting everything . My sister mother and brother has the bypass done and all kept the weight off and is very healthy . I have tried the natural way for years . the sleeve takes part of the stomach off . yes it can stretch back . It is not the easy way out , Its not because i don't want to put the work into dieting . Not everyone has problems with the weight loss surgery . I come from a line of people that have had all different types of weight loss surgery and all kept it off my sister had it done 10 years ago and weight is still off my brother had is 18 years ago and the weight is still off . my mother as well .
