Thought it was about time I introduced myself. I have been researching WLS and lurking on various forums for some time.
I have come to the conclusion that I now need to think seriously about WLS after the usual failed diet attempts over the years. I have lost several stones on many occasions, but I wonder if you can guess what happened!
The last time I was sure it wouldn't happen again, because I was **** scared after suffering a stroke nearly six years ago, thanks to family history of hypertension. Luckily, I recovered well, so I think residual neurological damage is probably only apparent to me. However, bad eating habits returned, and injury and illness followed by depression hit my usual exercise regime.
I am now at my heaviest ever, about the same as I was briefly about 12-13 years ago before I started regular exercise. My chosen exercise, tennis, is now causing suffering so frequency has dropped. I know I can't go on this way.
From my initial research I have come to the conclusion that a sleeve or wrap would be best for me and that CZR is the place to go (esp if considering wrap). Although if you had asked me a year ago, I would have said anyone planning to go abroad for surgery was mad. What I need now is help to decide which op and which supplier. Any information anyone has would be gratefully received.
Thanks for looking
