Hi my name is Tim and I'm new to the site. I'm really beside myself whether to go for surgery or not. Well in a nut shell. At my heaviest I weighed 365 pounds. I have tried many diets and fitness programs in the past. A few years back I dropped to about 273 pounds. Then I went back up to about 343. Last year my wife began her journey with the bariatric sleeve. At the same time I began a medical weight loss program.. I did good for awhile and dropped down to 285 pounds. in the last two months I stopped losing and gained 10 pounds. I have a bariatric information session appointment on 10/6. My wife said I shouldn't do it, I guess basically she misses eating a lot. coming from an Italian back ground it is a little tough. however she looks awesome. She lost 125 so far. should I do it? I think I is a good move, basically I can handle intense workouts. my problem is that I just don't know when to stop eating. even with healthy food I eat in excess.

Hello Tim! You need to make the decision yourself. You need to think about your health as well. Yes it's very hard to give up food, but you also need to enjoy life! May you have a happy healthy long life.

Also think about how good your wifey look. Maybe you need to look good for her too ????

Good luck with the decision.

Hi Tim I'm thinking maybe u know what u want to do and u want some support yes do it only if u really want it cuz no one can do the hard part but u as u already have seen with your wife maybe with time she will move past her grieving of food I'm sure she must feel better at least if u have a history of losing and gaining and feel u can use this tool to help u even more then u should do what u feel is best I find myself that I need to keep busy with something so I dont think hey I could go for a snack as I too will eat too much of healthy food as well good luck!

this is a great tool. I too loved to eat. this tool changes that. it helps you look at food differently. I had to make the choice. live a long healthy thinner life, or stay morbidly obese and face a shorter lifespan. choice is yours.... research, weigh your pros vs cons. good luck

The only final decision you have to make right now is whether to attend the seminar. I reommend you attend with an open mind and see how it goes.
