I'm not against surgery at all ......Sweet BF!!! I'm not against surgery at all ... actually considered it at one point myself. Thought that was the only hope but thank God I found Cambridge which is really working for me. I agree with you that you owe it to yourself to try everything you can and keep surgery as a last resort. <br /><br />I know what you mean when you say that even if the BF is happy with you it doesn't help much when you are unhappy with you. <br /><br />I know you can conquer this and find the method that works for you.

She did really well for a few years, but them put all the weight back on. Its because your stomach can stretch and go back to its original size, so you can still eat what you used to eat.Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091613050260494544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-72953836095361474112010-05-24T14:45:56.327-07:002010-05-24T14:45:56.327-07:00Hi Peridot,
Gastric bypass is such a tempting th...Hi Peridot, <br /><br />Gastric bypass is such a tempting thought, isn't it? I admit that I often -- especially in dark times -- wonder if I shouldn't just do it. <br /><br />But I'm a chicken about surgeries (and greatly fear post-surgery infections). I quite like the idea of the lap band thing -- except I gather that once it goes on they leave it on forever. I'd think it would be nicer to cinch the stomach up for weight loss then take the band off down the road. But I guess that's not how it works. <br /><br />In any case, I always end my gastric ruminations when I get to the part where doctors say you have to work out regularly and adopt healthy eating habits or it won't work. Well, I'm working on doing that anyway -- so why go through potentially dangerous surgery just to have to make the same lifestyle/behavioral stages I'm doing now? <br /><br />Plus, I do know some people who've had it. They are slimmer (not all of them are slim tho). A few are fine and doing quite well. Others -- for whatever reasons -- have frequent heartburn, lots of tummy issues, and they can't really enjoy their food much. <br /><br />It's such a tough choice, isn't it? If we could be guaranteed a good outcome, I'd probably sign up in a jiffy. <br /><br />Glad your boyfriend was lovely and supportive. Sounds like you had a nice (ha - your favorite adjective) weekend, all things considered.Call me Ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135619200570288287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-75760686915617765492010-05-24T13:19:11.806-07:002010-05-24T13:19:11.806-07:00I had heard H F-W's was a bit disappointing. ...I had heard H F-W's was a bit disappointing. I was hoping it was wrong though and was looking forward to a rave review from yourself. Oh well. <br /><br />I think the gastric bypass seems like the wrong tool to fix your problem. As you say - it is metabolic as opposed to you being a binge eater. Has your specialist referred you to an endocrinologist? I know one of the symptoms of PCOS is difficulty in losing weight, and it could be a course of Metformin might be worth a try. Like you say - exhaust all the options. Because you do lots of exercise and broadly speaking, eat really well. I never really thought of it before in relation to you, but it could be worth discussing it with someone.<br /><br />Hope you didn't melt in the heat of the city today!Curlygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541404524974177689noreply@blogger.com
