Weight loss surgery, yes or no?

I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy in 2012. I lost a lot & then regained some (not all) & then re-lost it. I've lost a total of around 150 lbs. I would definitely do it again. It was life changing for me. It is not easy & you still have the same eating issues you started out with. It's the same as any weight loss method. You have to sustain it for the rest of your life & that's hard. I know I may slip & regain. I'm not perfect & hopefully my life will be long . If I do, I have a permanent tool to use. It's not for everyone, but nothing suits everyone.I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy in 2012. I lost a lot & then regained some (not all) & then re-lost it. I've lost a total of around 150 lbs.
