But to be balanced about comparing stats - Holllie said it best - 90% of people who lose weight though diet and exercise will gain that weight back and then some whereas with the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, (considered by many to be the gold standard), many patients maintain a weight loss of 60 to 70 percent of their excess weight for 10 years or more. I am not advocating one approach over another, I just wish that people would be honest and say that for some, obesity surgery not only is the answer, but it represents a life altering change for the better. If you can do it and keep it off without it - congrats, God truly bless you, you should be proud and I am proud of you. But if surgery is what you need to get to your next level, do it and be proud of your life choice as well. I know for me, it saved my life. Keeping my weight off now is my choice and I do it though diet, discipline and exercise, things that I was taught before I had my surgery. It will be 3 years soon and I thank God. For anyone involved in the struggle you have my respect and love - keep on fighting, however you choose to do it.
