Hi
I have also been on a lot of different diets. and when I stuck to the diets they actually worked however whenever I get stressed I eat therefore I gain the weight back. so its not like i have not tried in the past.
I knew several people who had the bypass surgery and i said i would never do it however I am come to the realization that I need help with this diet thing.
I am overweight and depressed therefore I must do something quickly before it gets worse. i never thought i would result into having weight loss surgery but truly i have no choice.
I have a daughter I must raise and i must be alive in order to do so. if i keep eating and dont get any help than i am afraid of what may happen to me.
i am scheduled to have sx on july 12th. I know it is the best thing for me to do. currently i do not have high blood pressure or diabetes however if i dont do something now than i dont know what type of diseases i may get in the future. so i have put aside all worries about having the sx and i think of the positives.
i am excited. i know its not going to be easy but i have to do what is best for me.
hopefully, you can reallly think about whats best for you .
dont listen to folks who are not in your same situation because they dont understand.
good luck to you
also find a surgeon you are comfortable with and that will alleviate some of the worries.
