5 months away

I have gone to 2 of the 6 required nutritionist visits required for weightloss surgery. I see the surgeon next month to decide what type of surgery I want to have. I am 26 yrs old, 6'3", and 327 with sleep apnea, high cholesterol, pre diabetic, and minor reflux. Dieting hasn't worked too well bc I always gain it back. I've been on 4 major (and expensive) diets since I was 13. I am just so tired and beat down feeling... My wife is scared for me to have gastric bypass and I am too but I am starting to feel likes its my only option. Any encouraging words?

I'm 2 weeks out and I have a lot of the same problems you do including stage 4 kidney disease. My surgery was on point, no complications AND I've already lost 30 lbs! I don't feel the need to use my cpap although I'm still supposed to and my meds have already been decreased some. All of this in JUST 2 weeks! Even if I don't lose another pound and stay where I am, I've still increased my life a little more than before. You know what's best for you ultimately, but I strongly encourage you to pray about this and continue discussing it with your wife and your team of dr's until you feel completely comfortable about it. If you have any questions feel free to ask! Good luck!
