They have no problem keeping their weight down - they cant eat!!!!!
I think you are skim reading.
Are we now talking about the band or gastric bypass?
I was continuing on debs complaint about her band and many who have it removed add the weight back. Dieticians and other health bodies trying to help with eating disorders.
As of bariatric surgery, yes sometimes they cannot eat due to being full as new stomach is size of an egg. Micro meals are needed not restraurant food. Ice cube size portions. It is given to patients in black and white.
I know what it changes... Many think they can continue eating like pre-op. You cannot. The surgeons never offer that with this op. Some stretch their egg size stomach and regain the weight they needed to lose.
Yes some cannot eat as they don't follow the instructions which are given and yes a portion do everything they should and still have a problem. Which mystifies everyone!
We are all different.
I cannot type here and say mine will be perfect but this op is a last resort not a whim!
I looked into this op before I said yes. I'm not a wishy washy person so once I'm OK about something its because I've looked at the pros and con first. Listened to a variation of post-op patients and NHS staff who are expected to put things right when things go wrong.
Many people like my brother-in-laws mum have thrived since her op. She would have been died by now without it. She still has to eat little and often but she's very very happy and has kept her weight off. She walks everywhere but was in a wheelchair because of her obesity health issues. She was prediabetic but no longer.
Not everyone has a major problem after their op and not everyone doesn't.
My options are......die soon or have the op.
I wonder what you would choose?
