Elizabeth Matheson got a reaction from amyallthetime in Approved - but Should I Go through with it?
Obviously i cant tell you to have the surgery but i can let you know of my experience.
I weighed 118 Kg (260 pound) before pre op.
I now weigh 79 Kg (174) 11 months out.
I am 35 years old and have two young children. It has been life changing. I have lost weight before- but it was always so hard to do- constantly fighting hunger (all the time). I was in a battle with myself.
After this surgery i no longer have to physically battle myself with hunger. I do still get hungry- but only after 3-4 hours (not 30 minutes after the meal)
I have much great levels of energy and have just started playing cardio tennis (which is the next step in my journey)
I see this as doing things only that i can realistically incorporate into my life. I am still able to eat out socially (most my friends now what i have had- but it has been a wonderful response.)
I don't regret the surgery- only that i didn't do it a long time ago
