Sugarnspice

The term last option for me personally is just being tired to be honest. I'm tired of yo-yo dieting, up & down, battling this weight issue for 10 years etc. I believe it's last option to take control of your life. I haven't told many people and read all positive stories here , IG & YouTube and they really inspire me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also always always said I don't want to do surgery it's the @easy way out ?" "why put your body through surgery "? But then I was really going hard in the gym and got a hernia and couldn't work out as much of course my hernia was due to obesity. I'm 32 & now one of my aunts has diabetes & the other has heart disease they are petite women. I don't want to be older with health issues & after doing my research I felt like vsg is right for me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I asked him I said what about my liver ? he said he don't see it making a significant difference again he's been doing thee surgeries since the 90's maybe that's why Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon doesn't do liquid diets. I can eat up until 12am day of surgery anyone else ?? I asked him why & he's been doing bariatric surgery since the 90's he says he doesn't see any significant physical reason he thinks alot of surgeons do it for the mental aspect because some pt's go insane with food funerals he had a girl gain 30lbs obsessing about what she' won't be able to eat Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you everyone for all the words of encouragement.
