I have lost weight on my own without Weight Loss Surgery. After several years living my life in frustration, I knew that I needed additional help to get to the weight that I should be. So decided to see a Weight Loss Surgeon. After meeting the surgeon, I had to think long and hard whether or not Weight Loss Surgery is right for me. I have been very uncomfortable talking to anyone, but I know I would need a support system so I started to talk about it.
At first, the people I talked to didn't think I needed Weight Loss Surgery. But after explaining my motives, they are starting to understand why I want to look into it. The Weight loss would help me to deal better with from the Arthritis that I suffer with. It would help me not to wear down the knee replacements I have. I know I would look better too.
Now I am trying to decide what surgery to have. Lap band? or Sleeve? Decisions, Decisions. They both have their pro's and con's. My surgeon wants to do sleeve. I was told he wants to get away from doing the band all together. He said the band is like a belt, you have to find the right fit, or you will have to come back for adjustments. Heaven forbid I have to have it removed. I might have problems having my insurance pay for follow up care. I am currently researching more, so I can make the right choice.
