Sorry coffeesnob I can't help you with this!Just wondering if any members are on or have done the bariatrics pathway would love to get the inside story
Hi Ditto. I would think it would be a mighty big decision for you to opt to have the surgery - and if that is the road you would like to take then I believe you would have to do some research of your own into bariatric surgery which if you have already then i apologise - but then mull it over in your mind very seriously indeed before arriving at a final decision - unfortunately no one but yourself can make that decision - listen to others who have had the surgery - contemplate - you can only but be guided by your true inner gut & head feelings and perhaps with the aid of the professional medics advice ie your GP and/or your Consultant at that time.My daughter and I are both down for bariatric...we're attending a course at the moment. I don't want to have it done, so I'm hoping I'll lose weight before it becomes necessary. Daughter is all for it as a friend had it done and has never looked back. I was talking to a lady at community centre bookswap this morning and she has two friends who've had it done. One has done great, lost all the weight, but could afford the skin removal afterwards, nearly 8 grand apparently and not available on the NHS.The other lady has suffered terribly and wishes she'd never had it done. Feels she can't eat anything without complications and is proper miserable. She's never adjusted 'in her head' either, she still feels like a fat person. This would be me. If I got down to a size 10 I'd still head for the size 30 rail in a clothes shop!
No Ditto - THANK YOU, you sound positive - that's a terrific start xxxThank you lassie, your help is much appreciated.I'm just going to try and stick to the Atkins, it's the only 'regime' for me, I feel very healthy on it and it keeps my BG level.
