Secret
i have only told 3 friends, just because i had to tell someone, lol. my hubby of course knows, i am not telling anyone else, i do not want any negative feed back, nor do i want to hear oh u have lost before then gained it back, once i have the surgery and the skinny me comes out if anyone asks all i am going to say is lifestyle change, try it.

Will A Revision Work For Me?
I agree no matter what u have as a tool u have to re train yourself on eating well and exercise. pizza maybe 1slice every 2 months as a treat, but then again u get the taste of bad food head goes I have her now, leads to other bad foods. By the sounds of it u have no close support to give u the encouragement to go down the right path, u need support is there no support group where u r, family, friends to keep u on the right track. Before looking at anymore surgery u have to believe u can do this. I wish u the best of luck

Lost 30 Lbs On My Own. Should I Go Throu With Vsg?
i agree as a yoyo person myself, it was hard, and then more depressing when you gained it back, and usually gained more then when you started to lose the first, second , third time, when u got to your goal, your thought process is oh i can have a little of this and that, before you know it you are back to square 1. I agree it is your decision and only you know if you can maintain on own after the loss, i wish you the best of luck
