Thanks for the link! I'm definitely going to check it out.
I'm still on the fence about WLS. Mostly I'm worried about long-term effects from the actual surgery itself. I saw a gastroenterologist awhile back (turns out I have acid reflux) and I mentioned it at our follow-up today and she said she sees a lot of patients who have GI issues like ulcers, etc, from WLS that turn up down the road, 5, 10 years on. Which is something i do not want to deal with.
SO I'm going to give it six months. If I can't lose weight by eating less and better, and by working out 5-6 days a week, then it'll be the last resort.
I just think of all of these people here who have lost 100+ lbs without it, and it makes me motivated.
And I totally understand and agree some people need WLS. But I don't have any diseases related to my weight, just some fat on my liver which will go away if I lose 20 or so lbs.
