Bariatric surgery has the highest rate of remission compared to non-surgical treatments.

I am really surprised about this, since with LCHF there need be no calorific restriction to start with and as your stomach gets used to denser calorie food it feels full sooner as time goes on. Thus most achieve an eventual (after a couple of weeks) reduction in Calories without the need to feel hungry.

But I know that some don't like the higher Protein and Higher Fat foods used in such a lifestyle.

I started my LCHF not by counting Carbs, but just by giving up Bananas, and other high sugar fruit (but still eating Apples at that stage), plus all added sugars and starches (but still eating Carrots and Beetroot at that stage) . And adding in boiled eggs and cheese , which were almost entirely missing from my prior Doctor advised High Carb Low Fat diet.

Only problem is mine didn't nor any sign of it doing so. Believe me I tried.

Specialist letter today mentions knowledge I need and advice on hitting remission. So my 2 recent shared appointment holders believe I can hit remission (without meds), due to Roux-en-y operation.
Me too, hence why it was so important I had Roux-en-y not sleeve or loop.
Roux-en-y can NOW be reversed I was informed in hospital.
So
I might get it reversed if I need to in the far future.... we'll see.

Fyi I know you've had the op but thought you might find this interesting. And yes the surgery does trump the proposed GOP hormone jab?
