rainbow_runner got a reaction from Papillon Princess in Let's be honest....please!Your intro says it all ... "Let's be honest... please!". Before you have any other surgery you DO need to be honest - with yourself. As an emotional eater, unless you can wrap your head around the fact that in order to lose weight you are going to have to eat properly and exercise no matter WHAT surgery you have, you are never going to succeed. I know people who have had RNY and some of them have gained a great deal of weight back after losing because they could not overcome their emotional response to food and found ways to circumvent their smaller pouches by eating and drinking high-calorie foods like ice cream and chocolate. If you are not willing to make the lifestyle changes necessary for this surgery, or any other surgery, to work, you will never succeed. Before spending money on another surgery like the sleeve it would be beneficial to see a counsellor about your food addiction so you can wrap your head around and commit to the steps necessary to be healthy once and for all. I really wish you all the best.
