[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1675776, member: 196960"] I'm still awaiting to see surgeon or pass tier3 stage which I've been told is the most thorough of stages in the weight lose programme. More so now due to ensuring those with eating disorders get refused or given the help to get the weight off themselves. This operation isn't to fix eating disorders. Never has been. It's a life saving operation and very expensive and those not covered under the NHS have to pay without sometimes the support we are given or investigations. Can you image how often theirs is rushed through to save money or to keep insurance companies happy. I'd rather be regulated by the NHS who look after my whole care not just parts I can or cannot afford. Remember their statistics aren't exactly in keeping with ours do to those factors. UK statistics are far newer than say the USA ones as we only had a handful of surgeons but now increasing and original surgeons have more experience. A recent article in this forums diabetes news section declared UK remissions were still evident after 7yrs of the bariatric bypass. The roux-en-y style bariatric surgery has the best results in reversing type2 and prediabetic diabetes. I've concentrated most of my efforts in reading and asking/listening about those who have close proximity to this op, even GPs who listen to the changes their patients go through and need less or more of. Ultimately it is a personal choice and not one which should be taken without you feeling totally happy with why you need this life saving op. [/QUOTE]
