I appreciate all the feedback whether positive or negative about WLS. I am and have been doing a lot of research. As for the diabetes, my blood sugar was better when I was not as heavy. In fact the last time I lost weight, by blood sugar levels went back to normal again.. My father never worked to lose the weight. I will continue to do research and working on being healthier.

I did not mention my age, but I will be 49 in June. I have been as high as 274 and not below 207 in over 20 years. I have lost 30 gained it all back plus. I have lost 35-40 three times, each time hitting a plateau then gaining it back, plus more. I lost 50 pounds in 2004 and kept it off two years only to gain most of it back over a 6 month period of time after starting medication for fibromyalgia. I have high blood pressure, controlled by medication. I have high cholesterol, controlled by medication. I am pre diabetic have acid reflux all in addition to obesity. Since the last time I lost I have worked out three to four times a week. I am afraid the loss will never stick, and it will just continue. I know it is a personal decision, but it is a tough one.
