Thanks Gary.

I was debating it, but after getting on the web and seeing some of the
risks, I'm not so sure I shouldn't give WW a decent try. I've lost 30-40 pds
on WW at home a coupla times by myself, but always put it back on.

I'm 5"5" and 205 pds. I was wondering if over time these gastric ppl end up
putting the weight back on if they don't change their eating habits. Cause
the pouch can stretch back out. Cause if I have to watch everything I eat
and exercise anyway, I might as well just do WW and skip the chance of death
and/or dumping and not being able to eat sweets anymore. LOL.

Can I ask what you started at and how much you weigh now?

The statistics are not very good...There are many additional medical
issues which can occur...I also personally feel that although surgery can
initially be very successful,...without making the mental changes which
many here can attest to the odds of long term failure remain...I had been
told by my Doctor that if something didn't change I should consider the
surgery...Fortunately I went to WW and so far I have been very
successful...I wish you luck in making your decision...I may have done it
myself...For me Doctors have never been on my favorites list (guy
thing?)..Anyway,...just one mans opinion...GG
