Bariatric Surgery Surgical Procedure Review

I had Bariatric surgery 5 years ago and it saved me...from myself. For those of you still in denial about how you got so obese, let me clue you in. You ARE NOT "BIG BONED", "just have a slow metabolism", "have a thyroid condition", or have "Inherited" obesity (there-by giving you the excuse to be fat yourself). Peope who are truely obese are.....by choice. The sooner you take that step, the sooner you WON'T die from weight related complications.

You are obese because you didn't care enough about yourself (for whatever reason- go to therapy for that one) to not kill yourself with your DRUG OF CHOICE....FOOD! I say ALL this as a women who was over 350 lbs. I DO NOT say it as an "ex-food addict reformed", but simply as, hopefully, the most honest communication you might have about the fact that you are obese. You are a food-aholic and so am I....and everyday, I have to wake up and remind myself.."I won't over-eat today". It NEVER gets easier...you simply get to a place where you are more afraid of dying than living like you are now.

People have said to me that choosing Bariatric surgery was "cheating". Let me just dispell that nasty rumor...on-the-contrary, it was the HARDEST thing I ever did...and I'd do it again in a second!.So, if you haven't done any research on it, what are you waiting for, it will never be an easy decision. It's simply a question of how much you want to live, what you re willing to sacrifice for some sort of QUALITY of life, and who you are cheating by being selfish enough NOT to take the steps to fix this and you end up dead...is it parents?? Children?? Siblings?? So, who do you want to see at your funeral?? Take the JUMP...NOW!!
