I wanted to write a post here just to state my position on WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) as I've had a few queries about this.
Let me say right from the start, I am positive that - if I had been in a position where I was morbidly obese, had tried and failed to get rid of my excess weight, and was suffering the medical consequences of my obesity, I would definitely have opted for WLS. Fortunately, I have never been in that position, but I have no problems with it whatsoever.
There are many different procedures for WLS these days, and all I would advise - if you are considering this option - is that you research as much as you possibly can. Find a top surgeon - one who has proved himself in this field, over and over. Choose the procedure that you feel will be the best for you and your lifestyle.
WLS is a serious undertaking. But it is a tool that, if used properly, can change your life. It is NOT the easy way out ! Its a long, hard road after WLS.
