Well..... first of all..... no need to be skeptical about who I am. If I wanted to be anonymous, I wouldn't have signed! lol I never said it was a "quick" fix. It is what everyone who chooses surgery hopes will be a fix to the problem... but it is not the answer IN MY OPINION. Doctors, centers, and clinics are making a fortune operating on people who are suffering with a very complex issue. Yes, it is a tool... but it is a costly tool with an inceasingly high failure rate. European studies are much more accurate because they have been doing the procedures for a longer period of time. No need to get hostile... I'm not bashing you and your choice... just hopeful that people who are considering surgery will think again. Off again I ride into internet obscurity.... lol Be well!

If I can make ONE person rethink surgery, it is well worth being called rude. As a person who struggles with obesity and who has had surgery, I have every right to my opinion. Everyone wants a fix to this very complicated illness that is obesity. Surgery is not the answer. Find a group... or a buddy... and make lifestyle changes. I wish everyone well here. Amy Beth

Celebrate your body now... in its healthy, normal functioning state. Surgery mutilates your stomach and forever changes how you eat... etc, etc... It is NOT the answer! Blessings, Amy Beth
