I am type II diabetic and more recently I have been feeling the effects of osteoarthritis which made it harder to exercise, so I started gaining weight again after maintaining for a long time. I knew regular dieting was not going to work and I've made changes in my lifestyle just to maintain my weight, so I felt my only choice was surgery. I'm very glad I did it, but now I want others to talk with about day to day issues - I don't know anyone else who has had this done.
