Hello everyone, I'm having such a hard time deciding what I want to do. I am 318lbs and 5'5, but I don't hate my body. I have sore knees and I get out of breath a lot, but I don't hate my fat. So on one site I want to have surgery to feel better and help my fatty liver, but on the other side, I've been on diets my whole life, I question if this is right for me. Has anyone regretted their surgery? Is it possible to be happy, healthy, and fat? Where does body positivity fit into this? I need to hear what others think on this. Thank you

I want to get a bike. I've wanted a bike for years but I'm past the weight to just be able to purchase one at Target or Walmart. I'd also like to fit in my normal bathtub and use bath bombs to relax.

Sorry to jump in, but while reading this I wanted to ask, so you have to do all the visits and consultations before you are approved by insurance? I've worked with insurances and you think I would know this, but I haven't had my first appointment yet. It is today, I just figured they started the approval process in the beginning.

Thank you! That is the hormone I kept reading about when it came to the sleeve. And I wasn't sure how or if it had any less effect with RNY. I am leaning more toward RNY. I have my first appointment today.

Hello all, I am very new. I have been reading a lot about bariatric surgery. I haven't gone to my first appt., it is tomorrow. I have read that a pro to the vertical sleeve is that it stops the hunger causing hormone. Does RNY do the same thing. It seems since it is left and reattached that the hormone would just run out into the intestine, but it would still be absorbed and cause hunger. This is one of the biggest questions I have on deciding which surgery.
