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.
  • my doc is talking about Gastric By Pass/Lap Band,because I am not able to exersie. what type of melt-down are you talking about?
  • If I don't lose enough weight in 6 months I will have to think hard about having Lap Band done.:happy:
  • 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!!
