[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1500483, member: 345386"] [USER=196960]@ickihun[/USER] - I respect your right to make your own mind up about the suitability, or otherwise of bariatric surgery for yourself, but I would urge you to have a look at the attached document, along the way. I may have mentioned this before, but I have a friend who underwent surgery (actually travelled to the USA for it) for weight loss. Yes, she lost a terrific amount of weight in the aftermath, but she didn't alter her way of eating and would still be having curries with rice etc, ice cream, Mars bars and so on, only they were liquidised. Within a relatively brief time, she was back to her starting weight (and remains there), scarred from the surgery, is several thousands of pounds poorer, and chronically malnourished, with osteoporosis, probably as a result of her actions. Hers is a sorry tale, and not too unusual. This lady is a senior matron in a major NHS hospital, so she is no mug. I'm not suggesting that is your intended or even unintended route, but whilst initial weight loss is almost certainly likely to happen, sustained weight loss is not guaranteed. I really do wish you well, and applaud your efforts thus far in trimming up. Do you have the option to defer for a while, to see how your losses continue, without undergoing irreversible surgery? Apologies for the off-topic nature of this post, but in the spirit of the thread, I will declare myself to be a steady 48kg in the mornings, with a variance of c0.5kg on a day-to-day basis. [/QUOTE]
