True enough. My SiL had a bariatric surgery courtesy of the NHS. Waste of money…she’s even bigger now as her psychological issues around her MH and relationship food weren’t properly addressed. It’s not always the magic bullet people think it is.Bariatric surgery isn’t always the answer. Granted it’s hard work but it is a drastic, life saving but also life changing decision to make and not suited to all. I was on the NHS weight management plan and considering the surgery. My friend is a nurse on a gastric ward and has seen lots of people in with complications, deficiencies etc. If, like me, Em is an emotional eater then I don’t think surgery would be the answer. Maybe hypnosis or counselling in the first instance.
