I don't know what the prevailing attitude towards WLS is on 3FC, but I think there haven't been enough studies to prove it doesn't compromise your health and is more effective than traditional methods. I've done quite a bit of research on it as I once considered going down that road myself, and found way too many personal accounts of people who have undergone it and suffered dramatically or even died. Not worth the risk to me.

Just my opinion.

Hi Karen there is a whole section on the forum for WLS I don't know of anyone in the UK here who has done it sorry. There may be some people lurking with some words of wisdom though.
