    • Close Obesity

      I've been overweight most of my life, well since I was 16.In my thirties I developed Osteoarthrites in all my main joints and its getting worse in my knees which keep giving way. It's not helped with the weight I carry. Im 5'1" tall and weight 16st 10lbs. Im waiting to have Gastric bypass surgery but before the surgeon will put me on his waiting list I need to talk with people who have had this surgery done, to find out the good and bad things that can happen and the experiences of others.

      Treatments

      Weight Watchers Working / Worked
      this did work but I could not keep the weight off
      Xenical Working / Worked
      this did not work my doctor said I didn't eat enough fatty foods.
