I am registered with the obesity clinic, they are going to review me in Dec 2011. I am seriously tempted to go down the gastric option. There is a choice of gastric sleeve, gatric pump or gastric bypass. I have just been recently diagnosed and still getting to grips with diabetes. On a more positive note, one of my friends remarked earlier that I was the first person she knew who upon being diagnosed, went into research rather than just saying "oh well, and just carrying on like before". It's just fear of the unknown. I just ordered the Gretchen Becker book as well. I know they say not to get anxious or stressed, however that is like telling a person not to think about the pink elephant. Bear with me, still in the overwhelming stage. Luckily I have some friends who are supportive, they too have that fear in their minds as they too have struggled with weight. One of the positives I take from this is that I neither drink or smoke. My delusion came from believing that because I have had complimentary therapies for previous ailments, and learnt a technique myself, that this would not happen to me...I have a lot to learn
