Hey, I still love food!
Even now at my "baby food" stage. Quantities are different and size of my food intake is dramatically smaller, of course.
So far I don't feel hunger. It doesn't bother me watching others eat, too.
Hair?
I'm going to watch my protein intake, which seems to be the key to this problem.
Heartburn?
I was given by my surgeon an antacid meds. So far so good.....
Leaving my family alone?
I put my trust in the hands of my surgeon. Before you think that was a bit naive of me, I researched him on the Internet and asked around, too.
After all crossing a street is a risk, too.

Hello!
I know that taking this final step can be very frightening. I went through this process myself after all.
I started with an idea of having a band fitted. Band is so widely popular and well publicised today.
Fern from "This morning" and now medium Sally from "Psychic Sally: On the Road" (Sky Living) to just mention a few. All those photographs before and after...
For most of my life I struggled with my size and my self image.
All those hours I spend in the sport club, 3-4 times a week for 2 hours a go. All those classes I took jumping about, continuously looking at others comparing my
size and theirs... Sometimes I was successful more often I wasn't. At 32 I become a diabetic Type1 ( first ever in my family, I was size 14 at that time)
and 10 years later I developed Hypothyroidism. I was told that my immune system doesn't like me a lot and it's turning against me. More pills, more side effects
caused by taking different medications. Years of taking slimming pills, bought on the Internet or from dubious "medical" clinics. Years of yo-yo syndrome: on pills-
weight down, off pills up.
6 years ago I started using an insulin pump. Great help in keeping my sugar levels down but with growing problem of insulin resistance
pounds were piling again.
You can see, I hope, why I decided to do what I did. I'm now in to my second week after surgery. I feel better every day. My insulin doses are down from 100u-
140u a day to 30u-35u a day. I stopped taking Metformin SR 1500g a day and no more Statins, 40g a day.
....and this is only the beginning!
I have no regrets, I don't second guess my decision, either. It feels GOOD, it feels RIGHT for me.
I wish you all the best and I hope you make a right decision for you!
