pintobeamish

Thanks for the replies. Unless people have experienced obesity, they wont understand what its like to have to carry the extra weight. Ive people trying to tell me to do go for a 5 min jog every day and build it up. Can they not understand i cant bloomin tie my shoes without feeling puffed out. Then Ive others trying to tell me that obesity is a life choice. I dunno bout u but I never chose to be like this. now, on another forum that i joined recently, i asked the question Sleeve or Bypass. I found out that both are effective but it depends on peoples eating habits. I learnt that from replies, the Sleeve is generally best suited for those with big portion sizes and the bypass is generally suited for those with sweet tooth. (like me wife) What if i am a bit of both then? How long is the hospital stay for a Sleeve and how long for a bypass? Is there any aftercare needed like changing the bandadges or anything like that?

Andy here. Me family knicked named me Beamish coz I love it so much. Tis probably me weight gain right there. I'm a farmer, which some people would think being on a farm would help keep the weight down but tis hard. Me wife thinks its the pints. My wife kept giving me rabbit food (salads) and soups for a while but i got sick of it. Didn know there were so many different options to weight loss surgery. Now now, its only a thought in the mind now but still, it is something I need to think about. My doctor said i've a BMI of 43.4 and I should be around 25. No chance o that happening naturally. I'm out of breath just bending down to tie my shoes. I'm going to have to give up my farm if I dont loose weight. i've diabetes II, blood pressure and recently been told ive sleep apnea. my health is getting worse unless sometihin is done.
