Should I have this surgery?

I can't speak for the type of WLS you are considering, but I would never have had a lapband had I known I'd develop complications from it. (Obviously.)

But for those who are complication-free, WLS is a game-changer and a life-enhancer.

My advice for those considering WLS is be smart. Find the best, most-experienced bariatric practice. Do hours of research. Learn about all complications and ask yourself if you can live with any/all of them, compared with how you are living now.

Demand 100% compliance from yourself, and be ready for this. You cannot game WLS and expect a the kind of outcome you want.
