Even though I am not happy with my weight, I can think of a whole lot of other things I would ( and do) try before I would have the surgery.

But that's the thing. Alot of these people HAVE tried all these other things and nothing works.

Take me for example. I was on a diet, and working out 5 days a week for 2 hours a day. I lost nothing.

Sometimes it's just a person's genes. Or, I've just heard of this new "illness" this year. Maybe it's not new, but I've just heard of it. Insulin Resistant. I'm actually gonna be goin to a doctor to see if that's what I have. It's like diabetes, but not to the full extent. Basically it causes a person to like never be ablet o lose weight.
