I got weight loss surgery. I was worried I was scared I wasn't sure. But I knew it was the best thing for me to do, it was the only chance I had to live I was supposed to die in the summer of 2021, my weight was at 415 pounds my doctor made me aware that I could die in very soon and my bones are brittle they were breaking at the weight brought on to myself. At first when I did the surgery I was with regret because of the pain. But nothing comes out sacrifice even doing without food and working out has pain. And I need something faster more consistent in this was it. Everybody's body is not same. Not everyone reacts to any diet plan as others do or all of our bodies are different. You definitely try all measurements before you succeed to surgery. I'm very happy where I am, I have a lot of skin left over due to my bigness , But I feel great and healthy and I'm here a lot with my family I just very important so if things like this are important to you I was suggest a surgery for you'!
