Weight Loss Surgery?
I am 24 years old, and I weigh 330 pounds. I honestly don't eat a lot, and I don't eat the wrong foods. In fact, I eat quite healthy. Lots of fresh fruit & veggies, salads, yogurt, sugar free stuff, but I can't lose the weight. I've tried every diet under the sun, and yet nothing happens. I've been contemplating the weight loss surgery, and I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has had it, would you recommend it? is it safe? how long is recovery? I have a 2 year old, and I want to be able to run & play with her. I want to be around to see my baby grow up- I'm at my wits end. Any advice will be appreciated.

- since you eat healthy and cant shake the weight, have you had blood tests to make sure your thyroid is working properly. It would be pretty drastic to get surgery if you just have a medical cause. I have been researching the lap band. It sounds really good if you are commited. have a look at the link below. It is a lap band forum, with conversations on every topic about surgery. You can ask questions too. It is a really good way to get information from people who have had the surgery.
- exercise? Im not being rude, Im just wondering because you did not say whether you exercise. Try a walking regimen, maybe that will help jump start weight loss.
- Whenever you are trying to lose weight, you should concentrate on these three things which all work together in providing a healthier and quicker weight loss goal for yourself. I have found this combination really successful in my weight loss plans. The first thing is exercising and how much you can put forth into it. The more you exercise, the more results you will see. The next thing is dieting and the calorie intake. If you exercise more, technically you could eat more? Always watch what you eat. Now the last step in a good weight loss plan is always a good diet pill that can help you get to the end of the road. I have found Proactol which is a natural herbal diet pill to be the best around. It's an appetite suppressant along with being a fat blocker which stops up to 28% of fat you eat. Read up about it at TheWeightLossPlace .com where I saved money on it. Proactol really works well with exercising which gives you plenty of energy to perform. Along with that your diet will be affected by Proactol due to the appetite suppressant and fat blocker. If you slip up on meals, the fat blocker kicks in. It's really great to stop food cravings. Concentrate on those three things and the combination is deadly for the fat cells in your body. Good luck and I hope this helps.
- First let me say that the decision to have wls is one that you must make for yourself. Every person is different and what is right for one may not be right for another. With that being said, I can tell you that for some people weight loss surgery is the answer. Their are many different types of surgery, from the lapband, to the RNY Gastric Bypass, to the Duodenal Switch, to the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. Each one is different and they all have their pros and cons. I know what it's like to have every diet fail. Diets don't work. You need a positive eating plan. From what you said it sounds like you eat healthy. So that is most likely not your problem. If you exercise regularly and the weight still doesn't come off I would have a complete body work-up. You need to find the route of your weight gain. For some it is genetic, for others it is emotional, but there is always a reason for it. It never hurts to have a consultation with a weight loss surgeon. My journey to weight loss surgery helped me find the root of my weight gain and I am so much better off now. WLS was a life saver and I live a much happier and healthier life as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Check out www.obesityhelp.com. There are tons of people {doctors, nutritionists, and ppl who have had surgery} on that site that can answers your questions. It is a great place to find others like yourself and to help you decide what action is best to fight your obesity. Best Wishes in your weight loss journey!
