Dr. said my liver is fatty and I need to lose about a 100 lbs or more. I am disablt and can't exercise enough to lose the weights. So he is talking about Gastic By Pass/Lap Band

    It's worth looking into. You don't have to make any decisions right away.

    Weight-loss surgery was the best decision I ever made - next to marrying my husband! I was in constant pain from arthritis - feet, knees, hips. I was type 2 diabetic and had high blood pressure. Since my surgery, I am no longer on any medications. I can walk, ride my bike, play with my grandchildren. My heart is healthy. My quality of life has improved greatly.

    But, weight-loss surgery is a serious procedure, with possible risks. It involves a change in the way we think about and use food in our daily lives. I had a few mini-meltdowns in the first few months after surgery, but with the help of my family, doctors, and friends on MFP, I am doing amazingly well. No regrets!!

    Best wishes with your journey to better health.

    Just use the food tracker and watch your intake. Making sure you increase your protein intake. You should loose. I too, am unable exercise. I was able to loose prior to surgery. Tracking helped tremendously!!
