Hi hi!
I've been thinking about doing this for years and now I'm determined to have the surgery. I've been 100+lbs overwright almost my entire life (the weight started to pack on around 8 years old) and no amount of exercise has ever helped. I have always been active, on dozens of sports teams, and i have always been the biggest person on those teams - basketball, swimming, rock-climbing, badminton, baseball, you name it. I lost a bit of weight when I came to Shanghai 8 years ago just because of severe habit changes but it all came back gradually - without me having done much to change those habits and I am back at my original weight. Never seems to go higher thank god, but I hate 255 being my 'minimum'.
Anyway, I live in Shanghai and there are some pretty decent medical facilities here but what kind of questions should I be asking my prospective surgeon? There are 2 hospitals I'm looking at (one with Western doctors, one with Western-trained) and I want to make an appointment to talk with the surgeon.
Can you guys give me some suggestions about what I should ask? I'd appreciate any and all ideas.
Thank you!
