RE: I asked for gastric bypass surgery.
Surgery is kind of scary I guess, but if it saves a life or re/solves problems/that could crop up in future, seems worth doing? You didn't register to me as the kind of person who would need a gastric bypass and that kind of thing sounds like it should be an absolute last resort/life saving kind of thing as otherwise removing organs that are otherwise functioning fine sounds both really extremely not ideal and potentially hazardous. But then again I'm probably not allowed an opinion as the leadup to that is not something I need to deal with, and I have an inherent distrust of magic bullets/pills ;D
Your opinion matters, don’t discredit it. I agree that organs should be left alone if it’s functioning well. I also think I’m disciplined enough to keep the weight off. There is risk in every surgery. Complications could be worse then struggling to maintain my weight. I still want it and often still think about how my life would be different had I done it.
Well, it could have been everything you wanted or it could have been pretty tragic, hard to know right XD Is it still an option if you did want to go that route?
