I'm wondering is there any body on this site who has had any type of weightloss surgery that uses MFP to keep a track on their food intake?

    My Brother is looking into weight loss surgery. Has Diabeties and is tired of being overweight. I think he has not tried enough to loose it first. It is scary to me he is want to do this. I know allot of people have had it done but just because of that does not mean it totally safe and healthy. I think your body would adapt to loosing weight better than a shock to it by the weight loss surgery.

    For me, I feel I can loose the weight. For the first time In my life I am confident I can! I am not looking at the big picture I am doing little goals at a time. I mainly want to be healthy and also what has sparked me to do so is my husband was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and he is loosing weight and doing good. So I am sort of following what he can eat to help me too!

    Hi

    I had WLS about 18 months ago and it was a decision I'll never regret.

    I've lost a significant amount of weight in the last 18 months, and have about 35 pounds to go.

    I found this site as now I have a smaller amount of weight to lose, I'm finding it tougher to motivate myself. I like being able to record my food intake and exercise. I think this site will really help me in getting to goal weight.

    There are good things and bad things with WLS. I have found though that it's been very positive for me. I am able to participate more fully in life now, and do things I only ever once dreamt of doing. I exercise regularly, and think I look pretty darn good for the whole experience.

    Karen :)

    I'm glad to see there are a few people here too that have had WLS. It is not an easy decision to make and I know this from experience. I have had great success too and I am over 8 years post op and unlike the comments above I am not weak, I can exercise and I can also eat everything just in smaller portions. I have regular blood tests etc to ensure i am at the peak of my health. I only have about 13 -15 blbs (6kgs) to lose now just to get to that final goal. it's no big problem if I don't but it would just be nice to finally reach the target i set out to achieve.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Karin :)

    I hope I was not being too forcefull in my opinion earlier today as I don't fault those who have had success with WLS. More power to you ladies! I am just worried about my brother. But on the flip side he is worried he won't live a long life if he does not do something like this.

    Again, congrats to those who have your success!
