Hi guys, just looking for advice.
Quick bit of background -
2005 banded in Belgium (21st)
Got down to 15st within the next year. Fell in love and didn't care about losing anymore.
Stayed at 15st ish for a few years then weight crept up, suffered from reflux and I fell pregnant in 2009, band loosened.
Relationship ended and I ate like a maniac while pregnant - back to 21st!
Gave up all hope and have now got a big pouch so consultant says he has to operate.
He is offering to do a sleeve gastrectomy.
What would you do? I basically have an eating disorder and in the past have put on 6st in 6 months so am I entirely unsuitable for any kind of weight loss surgery?
I am on a waiting list to see a psychologist regarding my eating and depression.
I fought against the band for so long I am scared I'll try to outwit the sleeve as well but I need to do something. I'm 36 and have got aching joints already.
Is it worth going for this op??
thanks gilx
