Hey all
Iām at the stage in life where Iām seriously contemplating surgery to lose weight. Iām currently 12 stone overweight and am petrified that one day I just wonāt wake up with being this fat; with this in mind Iāve arrived at this decision from a pure health angle rather than a more vanity-based one. Iāve yoyoed back and forth for as many years as I can remember with little success and thatās dwindled to zero success this year, followed by gaining 2.5 - 3 stone during lockdown.
Iām going to fund the surgery myself and cost isnāt an issue (sorry if that sounds crass but Iām trying to give as much info as possible to hopefully get as many responses to weigh up as I can).
So my questions to everyone are:
Have any of you had surgery for weight loss purposes? What did you have? Cost? Which provider did you go with?
Please donāt hold back, especially if youāve had negative experiences. I want to know as much as possible from people whoāve been through it or know folk whoāve had some kind of weight loss surgery. I only know two people whoāve been through it and both of their experiences have been glowingly positive and thatās not a bad thing in itself but if there have been any downsides Iād like to take them on board as well.
