I've been offered a gastric bypass and am trying to decide if it is for me. Over the years I've probably lost my current body weight more than once but always put back what I've lost plus a bit. I need to lose around 70 kilos or 11 stones. It just feels overwhelming and given my history I'm almost scared to even try to lose weight by myself as I'll end up even heavier. For the most part we eat healthy food, it's just the portion control that is out of control. I also have mobility issues as I seriously wrecked my ankle in 2008, the bone got infected and I had two years with an open wound. The only exercise I can do is swimming (which I enjoy) but I really miss walking.
Anyway, my surgeon has told me that this may also cure my T2 diabetes (diagnosed 3 years ago), so I wondered if anyone here has any opinions on this.
