I have recently been faced with the vast possibility that I may have to
have weight loss surgery.. not because i feel the need to have myself hacked upon.. i hate the thought actually..
My orthopedic doctor told me if i don't lose a massive amount of weight like immediately that it will be no more walkies for me...
My weight is also affecting my fertility..
This sucks major a**.. i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place....
i can either not do anything and have to get my ankle fused and be disabled *which is a label i've been fighting for the last 2 years*
or i can get weight loss surgery, which isn't easy to go through..
My stepmom had it 8 or 9 months ago and she's all for it.. but i'm the paranoid android and i'm hesitant about going under a knife for anything...
*bangs head on desk* stressed sweatdrop
what the hell am i gonna do?

My aunt had gastric bypass surgery, and everything went really well for her.
I think you should do whatever you need to, to keep yourself healthy. If you're going to go through with the surgery, just make you sure talk to a lot of people. -nods-

personally. i say go for it. if its going to jeopordize your health then i would go under the knife to make sure you dont end up something you hate. besides its not like were going to outcast you here if you do lose the wieght (thats probably the least of your problems but we love you so it dont matter what you look like to us)
but then again in the end its your decision and its your own choice to make only. we can only say so much.

Any surgery can be dangerout but it may be more dangerous if you don't have it. Personally I think I'd do it. But I've been under the knife before for an appendix surgery. It doesn't bother me....well...not too much anyway. sweatdrop sweatdrop

Unless you think you can lose the weight on your own, I would suggest the surgery. I personally would risk getting the surgery to be able to walk than do nothing and be paralyzed. Good luck in making your decision. <3

I'm sorry that you're facing such a stressful decision, but we'll support you with whatever you decide to do 3nodding Just make sure to take good care of yourself if you decide that you're going through with the surgery...let yourself heal properly *basically don't push yourself after it's done, you need to take it easy afterwards*
Good luck to you sweetie! heart

I wouldn't have the surgery, I personally don't think it's healthy. If you lose a lot of weight in a quick amount of time, your body can't adapt to it well. One of the things I've always feared was having really loose and saggy skin. sweatdrop
My weight affects my fertility as well... even though someone my age really shouldn't be having kids. x.x
I'm sure you may know what I'm saying. I don't think a lot of guys want to hear about what it is. confused
Anyway, I can only advise that you try to balance out the good things and the bad things that can come from each decision and see what is most beneficial to you. It's not a matter of making others happy, it's a matter of making yourself happy.

I'm really sorry for you. Try to find alternatives for losing weight, but if you can't find it, go with the surgery.
Just dont let anything affect your healthy sad

Well, I don't really approve of surgery. But, Seeing as your health is on the line, I will back you on any choice you make.
Good luck. I hope my prayers see you through safely.

Thanks everybody 3nodding
it's good to hear some unbiased voices on this...
i'm going to make an appointment to see my ortho doctor..
but i'm afraid his answer isn't going to be fun since i've gained weight since i saw him last >_< *hey.. i tried not to! sweatdrop *
the reason this is grating my nerves so is because i've finally gotten to the point of self acceptance, now everything comes crashing down on me..
if i thought i could lose weight on my own and maintain my cute chubbiness.. i would..
*teh jade has the will power of a... well jade has no will poewr*
and the way i did lose weight and keep it off before is unhealthy and partially illegal *eat constantly, run around with friends and smoke massive quantites of green, grassy substance.. eek *
i'll keep you posted...
*man i hate doctor's appointments!* >_<

Good luck Jade.
Hmm.. eating constantly is not the best way to lose weight... sweatdrop
And smoking... umm... green grassy substances will make you lose weight only when you get to the point you'd need to go to an hospital...

I think surgery is pretty scary. Part of me wants it very bad but the other part of me thinks it's such a drastic step.
But if your doctor recomends it, I'd say go for it. I'd rather have a tiny stomach than not be able to walk or have children.
Good luck.

If it's between getting better and getting worse, go for the surgery. Being big and beautiful is one thing, being big and ill is another. Wether you're big because you like to be or you can't loose weight, you have to do the surgery.
*reads a few of the posts above this JUST to make sure it's not a joke* About the eating constantly, you will not be able to for YEARS. My mom still can't binge eat and she had her surgery in like june/july of '00. She can barely eat more than a hamburger, with the works.
So you won't be able to do that without going into pukey, gut wrenching pain 3nodding
But I guess that doesn't help, huh? sweatdrop Mimisi is horrible at trying to calm people down. sweatdrop
But I do with you good luck, and if you do end up having the surgery, Mimisi will pray for you. heart blaugh
