    Advice For A Youngin

    It's such a personal decision. I had surgery for health reasons after trying every diet plan known to man. You really have to ask yourself if you're ready to commit to life long behavioral changes. The surgery is only the beginning. What kind of behavioural changes?
  2. Hey everyone! I'm 21 years old from Canada and I have been looking into having RNY gastric bypass surgery in April and I'm currently going through the social worker and nutritionist. Here in Canada we have to go through a few process before the doctor lets us go through the surgery. I have been thinking about the long the effects this surgery will provide (good and bad) my mother supporters me but my dad doesn't want me to do it. I am currently 260 lbs height of 5'6. Any advice? I also have PCOS which makes it very difficult to loose weight and a long family history of diabetes so I'm afraid. Any one have advice about not all family members agreeing with the surgery? I'm also scared to tell my friends because I don't think they would understand

    I'm very sorry for your loss and thank you very much for the advice ! Do you find after the bypass you find yourself more tired because of the malabsorption of calcium/ vitamins?

    Oh cool your are Canadian too! So you had to go through all the steps I am currently doing. I completed the orientation in October and I have 2 appointments in December, I hope I can get the surgery done in April that's my goal! How has your journey been so far Amanda?
