I am just wondering, I've heard so much negative things about the bypass surgery. I am approved for it. I'd like to know....is it actually worth it?

.

Yeh...been working out hard too.. I do a full workout on equipment, yoga most days and in the pool with weights.. Two weeks and still not a pound.. And cut out crappy food. Frustrating... I do feel a bit better and proud of myself for going to the gym.. It had been 3 years since I last went ..only missed 3 days out of that. I feel guilty when I don't go but very proud that I go

Thing is it will all depend on the Ultrasound. If I have to much scar tissue or not

I have reflux too... U must be from the states..it's covered for us in Canada ...the optifast and vitamins aren't covered.

Thank you very much. It means so much to have all you guys sharing UR journeys with me. It's making me more at ease with the discussion of wls

Yes I believe it will be the sleeve only because of all the scar tissue from Past surgeries, but anything is possible. I have diabetes too and sugars R as high as 28. I've notice things are happening to my body from High sugars, I also have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease and sleep apnea, along with chronic pain. And really im not that old to have all these health issues. I wish I had more support. Most of my friends tell me I don't need it and to just diet, I've tried diets.. Gain back. Another friend told me everyone she knows after two years they gain in back. I believe this is my only option. I have starts back to the gym, Almost two weeks. Haven't lost a lb. I've given up weighting myself because I set myself up for the failure of not loosing and being hard on myself.

I really appreciate everyone's input. I met with my dietitian and shrink today.. One step closer to meeting surgeons. I may not have a choice between the sleeve or not. I've had 3 abdominal surgeries last year and one in 2008. I may have to much scar tissue and only left with the sleeve as an option. I know it's not a "diet" or quick fix. For me it's not just weight. My bmi wasn't high enough. But other health issues helped me qualify. I need my life from this moment on to be changed. I suffered being overweight, having an eating disorder. So for my life to improve.. I need it. As well as almost two weeks I've been back at the gym. First time since 2012. Feeling great about it
