Receptionist Degraded WLS

She was most likely one of those that thinks WLS is a obesity cure, its not its a TOOL. If you do not use it right it will not work! Its like any tool you own use it wrong and it will back fire on you.

On the world news today they stated that there are so many health benefits to having WLS. If you have a good doctor doing your surgery, and attend a good support group and see your doctor for any issues you have then you will be a success.

My surgeon is the greatest. He treats all his patients like they were his own family. If I call his office with a tiny concern he will see me as soon as I can get there.
Your PCP is just scared that all your med troubles will disappear and he will not see you as often as you get stronger and healthy...That's a loss of money for him.

Good luck, and ignore her. I have never had any regrets, I would do it again..

Follow your heart and only do what you are comfortable with!

I'm a little late getting in on this conversation but I would so do this over again. Like Karen said, it is a tool not a cure and it's a lot of hard work, but you can so change how you look and feel. My PCP was totally against it but at 252lbs with diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and high cholestoral I needed this.  I now weigh 152 lbs and have reduced all of my co morbedites. I work out 5 days a week and I am now running which I am so proud of and I'm 57 years young.
