Do I or don't I that is my question my op date is imminent for bypass surgery however so many people are saying I'm fine how I am, I'm 15st 7lb, size 22. I have been planning for this for the last 18 months, now I'm not sure. My husband is happy the way I am and is a fantastic cook and looks forward to us enjoying meals. We have a very full social calendar both of these will be effected. Do I go through it just to be a few sizes small. My general health is fine, no medication taken, but that would also change. I'm in a pickle what to do!!

And social gatherings can still be enjoyed i just won't over eat at them and if I don't have the op and keep eating large amounts I'll be bigger in a few years living this fat un happy unhealthy life just enjoying foods and gaining more !!! I'm looking at it as eat to survive not eat to gain ! X

I was a similar size to you and had a band fitted last march. I don't regret it but don't expect miracles!! its a very slow process - I have lost over 2 stone since the op and would like another stone to go but I am being patient. If you love your food then it will be a problem as there are so many things I can no longer eat. But I feel so much healthier and more confident. Overall its beena very positive experience.... I recovered very quickly from the op too and the aftercare from healthier weight has been excellent.

At the moment I think I am going to opt out. I am in quite good health and take no medication, if I go ahead I will be taking tablets for the rest of my life. Also, I don't know if I can justify going under the knife for vanity because thats all it is, I don't need it. The other people I have seen at the clinic have all been a lot larger and I can understand them doing it. The other thing is that once the weight has gone you have all the excess skin to deal with, another operation. I have started a diet club in my home consisting of family and friends, hopefully we will succeed together.

i hope hope you don't mind me responding...but I just feel really encouraged by your band success. I have six stones to lose...too much to lose with a band?
would really value some advice.
