to lose weight, bypass, sleeve, lap band, ds or whatever..

one must eat less calories than they burn off

.....and only the person doing the eating, knows that answer and truth surfaces when one steps on the scale.

a very small % have issues but ANY wls has issues/complications..

some people like to say their wls is best and proclaim it with zest

but what i feel is 100% truth...no one wls is better than the other.....no matter what anyone says

we should all do what works for us....and use it as the dr advised for best results

I agree! Wise as usual! And you ae doing a great job of self talk! good morning, CG!

read up on the surgeries (all of them) to see what would be a good fit for you...remember any WLS works and none are better than the other no matter what anyone says.....WLS is a complete life (lifestyle) change and for best results, always do what the dr who operates on you advises..

i fear many people see just having WLS will automatically make them lose

100 pounds in one day.....the larger the BMI, they can lose faster at the beginning.. but it will come off the same way it went on, 1/4 pound at a time

unless you decide to eat better, exercise, no WLS will help.......people get one surgery, it dont work for them and off they go to another one......the person looking at oneself in the mirror is a HUGE reason a WLS can work or not work.......(granted some complication can and does happen on any WLS) but those are small risks in my opinion to gain a longer life.

so if you want to be healthy and get healthy

do it....but expect to do some work...

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”
