Bariatric Gastric Bypass | Weight Loss Surgery | Gastric Bypass Surgery

for your own health and happiness I would look into gastric bypass they have newer options now..they can close off part of your stomach with a band..good luck

I would suggest that you go and speak to your GP, explain the problem to him and see what advise he comes up with. He may well refer you to a specialist at your local hospital.

Just try eating less everyday. It is all about calories. 85% of weight loss is based on what we eat more than what we exercise. But exercise do help too coz muscle burns more calories than fat does. Anyway, try eating 1400cals a day. I dont suggest gastric bypass surgery. Exercise more often. Dont believe on those quick fixes. Try to eliminate white sugar, high fructose corn syrup and those simple sugars and replace them with organic sugar, it will really help alot. Eat more veggies (you will never be wrong with this) and more fruits. Do it in a healthy way.

I’d say surgerey. I don’t know the difference between the 2 but i wish you luck.

because diet and exercise would take a long time and with all that weight putting pressure on your organs and joints.

Ok, let’s get on the same level. I’m a 20 year old female that has dealt with weight issues since I was 9. I’ve tried everything from restricted diets, hard exercise playing, sports and almost everything and anything doctors and health books suggest, and I didn’t lose a thing, I only gained. My turning point came when I thought I was out of the woods with my weight problems when I saw a nutritionist on a regular bases, but thing in my life took a nasty turn when I had to return home from collage and could not fit my special lifestyle into my home style. I became very depressed and gained over 30lbs, making me 295lbs, no matter how hard I tried to stick to my previous lifestyle. After a lot of thinking, and many Big Medicine episodes later, I decided to go with surgery. Now I ‘m not telling you that surgery is your only option you may be able to eat 4-5 small meals a day and work out 4-6 times a week and get that one big meal every so often, it can be done because my dad was able to do it and he feels great! But when you don’t have access to food or transportation to get you to where you need to go its kind of hard, really hard. The Lap-Band was my first choice I wanted so bad seeing that all it did was make you feel fuller sooner making you stop eating sooner instead of over eating. Great idea right, well the problem is if you are not disciplined enough you WILL find away to eat out of your band, pop your band, or stretch your stomach all over again. I yes I know about this because my grandmother ,my dads mother, after having the band for almost a year has popped her band quite recently and must go under again to have it removed and maybe get another one, who knows but she did lose about 70lbs before she did that. ^_^; So I gave up on getting the lap- band provide that it just got approved by insurance recently, I deiced that I was going to go and get Roux en Y Gastric Bypass. If you go this direction you will find that there are two gastric bypasses Roux en Y and Sleeve aka mini bypass. Both are highly effective in weight loss and are also recommenced by doctors for young ppl like you and I, because these tools help establish good eating habits that we can use thought out our lives and live long and healthy lives. I went though with the surgery July 23 and boy was a scared, because with gastric bypass there are risks like everything that requires you to modify you body, but I knew that in the end that I would able to start on a journey that will allow me to eat less and if it’s not good for my body my body will let me know (dumping). I kind of like theses types of surgeries because they are like shock therapy, if you eat the wrong things you will feel it and won’t forget it. But if you are not prone to this kind of disciple you run the risk of blowing you staple line, re-stretching your stomach, or making your self really sick and killing yourself. I’ve been living with this kind of fear since I’ve been home but slowly I’m retraining myself to eat and to slow down and not to inhale foods and since it’s barely been a week since I’ve been back home I’m having a lot of struggles but I know with the support of my friends and family I will get through this and that’s the most thing to remember, support. Without support you might as well as give up on any hopes of effective and life fulfilling weight loss because without it you will just give up instead of having that pain in the ass, like my dad, kick you in the **** and say keep going, or that soothing gentle touch, from my mother and her friends, that says you can do this we will do this with you. All of this is important. Just to keep in mind though what ever you choose remember its all reversible and you can start over again. So don’t just think you can only do one and if you fail you will never lose weight just give it a try and eventually you will find something that will help your body lose weight. Take care and good luck with what ever you choose to do.
