lightweight. Needing more info from another lightweight.
Ok here goes. I am right on the edge of qualifying for this surgery. I am 5'9" 270lbs. This means I am right at 100lbs overweight. I am conserned about having this surgery becuase I just lost right at 50lbs a year ago and put it all back on. I lost the weight by exercise and change of diet. "Body for life". It worked, but when I got burned out and went back to old habits I gained all the weight back. I have had weight problem since I was a child 9yrs old. Have lost significant weight a couple of times just to go farther and farther up the scale. My question is that if I have to exercise on a regular basis after surgery anywhay then why have the surgery? I am looking for a tool to help me out when my willpower gives out. "not have the option of overeating". My health has not went south on me yet other than lower back issues/high blood pressure. I am looking for another lightweight male that has had this surgery and let me know what to expect. Also wife/family not responding well to this option. I think they believe that I am just looking for an easy way out. Exactly the oppisite is true. I am thinking of having a major surgery to help me with my inability to keep weight off. I think I will be healthier in the long run with the surgery than without. If you think I am long winded in writing you should meet me in person. Thanks and GOD bless./Dave
