Having the surgery wont work if You DON"T learn to eat right. And losing weight ISN"T easy, no one ever said it was. It takes self control and determination. Anyone can do it if/when they decide that it is what they really want. But they have to work hard at it and live it for the rest of their lives. I have heard many stories from people that had the surgery and lost ALOT of weight only to gain it all back plus more because they DIDN'T learn the right way to eat and they DIDN'T exercise and they DIDN'T deal with whatever caused them to eat either the emotional eating or the bored eating or just plain loving food. For me surgery will never be the answer and even if I wanted it Insurance won't cover it and my Doctor won't do it because my weight is no longer affecting my health in a dangerous way. Other than my joints aching and sleep apnea it never really has affected my health. It was the kinds of foods I used to eat that was affecting my health.
