Hey all
I’m at the stage in life where I’m seriously contemplating surgery to lose weight. I’m currently 12 stone overweight and am petrified that one day I just won’t wake up with being this fat; with this in mind I’ve arrived at this decision from a pure health angle rather than a more vanity-based one. I’ve yoyoed back and forth for as many years as I can remember with little success and that’s dwindled to zero success this year, followed by gaining 2.5 - 3 stone during lockdown.
I’m going to fund the surgery myself and cost isn’t an issue (sorry if that sounds crass but I’m 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 don’t hold back, especially if you’ve had negative experiences. I want to know as much as possible from people who’ve been through it or know folk who’ve had some kind of weight loss surgery. I only know two people who’ve been through it and both of their experiences have been glowingly positive and that’s not a bad thing in itself but if there have been any downsides I’d like to take them on board as well.
