in Introduce Yourself
Just thought I'd say hello. I'd welcome any friends! I'm Whitney and my doctor keeps pressuring me to have WLS. The thought of that is scary to me personally and I've lost weight naturally before so here I am!

    I think you can do it without surgery. Several posts on here will tell you that it only helps in the beginning but isn't a cure all. You still have to learn how and what to eat along the way. If you're going to do that....just do it the old fashion way. Diet and exercise. Burn more calories than you take in. MFP is a great tool. I'm down 56 pounds since May. I have MFP friends that have lost well over 100 pounds without surgery. Whichever way you decide to go, good luck and God bless.

    Hi! I had the gastric sleeve 8 weeks ago! It has been nothing but an amazing tool! You have to eat right, as it isn't a quick fix cure, but I have been very happy with it!
