My Husband just started going through all of this. He went to the info meeting with his sister. His sister decided this was not for her. He came home filled out the paper work- I got a doctors appt for him a month later. We went together-it was very overwheming with all the info and dos and don'ts. He decided on GB because it would be the most effective for him. This monday he started his new way of life(diet,ect) seems to be going well for him. I support him as much as possible-buying, measuring,documenting, and cooking the right food. I havent had to nag like in diets past-where i finally just gave up- he really wants this- it is very inspiring to me
And you are right it is not some magic fix-it is alot of work but as long as he knows this he will be fine- the doctors office will set him straight!
Good luck!
