Will weight loss surgery work for me?

I would lose 10 on a diet and then gain 20. I had RNY 12 years ago and I do not feel hunger  I have to remember to eat . Best thing I ever did

Thanks to all who have replied, great links and articles.

Even after I had the surgery, I was worried that I was the one that this wasn't going to work for. I have made peace with the fact that I will always have to watch what I eat and exercise, but I would rather be doing that from a thinner, healthier place.

I too am ready to accept the fact that I have to watch what I eat, and to make peace with it. I realize it's a huge lifestyle change , but rather that than being diagnosed down the road with high blood pressure or diabetes !! I'm ready to make a healthy change !!

I am just starting my weight loss journey, I decided the weight I am at now is unacceptable......I decided to look into it and do my homework. I have an appt with my pcp on May 5th plus I have a June 2nd with Dr. William Graber for a seminar and consult for my bariactric surgery. I can't afford all those other weight loss products like Jenny Craig and Nurtisystem plans...I tried on my own lost 60lbs but gained it all back. I need to take control back. I've asked friends who have said they are glad they had it done and would do over again....I hope it will all works out for me !!

You will lose the weight it's like resetting a clock, but old habits must die or you will gain the weight in a year or less. I'm 3 yrs out & it's hard really hard & I am so discipline. But stress hormones are a beast.

I was 245, lowest weight 137 to small as I am 5'7, now I am 155 my wonderland 145 but must eat to live requires must less weight than eat to socialize. People look at you crazy if you watch your calorie intake. Process foods are the devil you must prepare your own meals.

If you work it the way you are supposed to in the beginning and deal with your food addiction it will work. I found aftercare meetings on a weekly basis helped me deal with my emotional dependency on food and the emotional eating when I was happy glad or sad. You need to change your relationship with food. I am proof it works but I cannot tell you it will not be a struggle. I was like you and believed it was not in my control. You will be surprised how it really is in your adult control when you feel great and want to stay that way. Kerri you will do great but get the support of an aftercare group to educate yourself and treat yourself well.
