Wow, this turned into a long thread eh? Chris, all I can say is yes, you do the wt. loss however YOU want to. YOU know YOU well enough by now to make a good choice What bothers me most is when people say "You need to deal with your issues with food/develope coping skills ect"...Ummm DUH? If anyone has spent time on these OH boards, thats something we all KNOW. I heard someone say it best...."Look at Oprah, she knows her food issues, and there she goes gaining weight again". She has the same struggles as we do...It is a difficult path to always choose the healthy foods, for some folks, WLS gives them the "jump start" needed.
Thanks Gael! I think we all know that WLS won't solve our issues with food. Just the fact that we are here on OH puts us miles ahead of those who blindly go into WLS. I don't know if it should be called a jump start, a tool, or life savior but I do know I see tons and tons of people who are 10+ years out and do not regret having WLS. They say it changed their life for the better. I'll take a piece of that pie.
