After years of yo -yoing since being a teen and many years of research and deliberation I have decided to have gastric bypass surgery. I was questioned on why I think surgery will be more successful than other weight control measures I have tried. Was wondering if anyone else was asked this and what was your answer. I answered now in my 40's and having tried everything under the sun, I find it harder to lose weight the older I get, I have severe joint pain which inhibits the kind of exercise I used to do to help me lose weight and feel that the surgery will help with the initial losing some weight so that the sleep apnea and blood pressure issue start to get better so I can work up to doing more exercise to help with joint pain etc. Not sure if they are looking for a certain answer and this decision was not made lightly.
