There are just as many negative and positive stories about weight loss surgery. This has created a lot of confusion and consumers are not sure which to believe.
The largest myth is that you will never regain the weight that you lose from surgery. Surgery is a tool, not a solution. The amount of weight you lose depends on the lifestyle choices you make. If you do not make the correct choices there is a 30% chance of regaining the weight you lost. Surgery is not a guarantee of permanent weight loss.
The second myth is that you will never be hungry again. Truth is, even with surgery, you will experience hunger perhaps not be right away but over time hunger will return. On the positive side, once your body has adjusted to eating smaller amounts of food hunger cravings should diminish.
Before you decide to have surgery, you will want to evaluate how the surgery might affect your life overall. One surprising research outcome shows the divorce rate among couples who have had weight loss surgery is higher.
People have discovered that after surgery they had underestimated how this will affect of weight loss impacted their life. They literally see themselves differently and this was a major factor that increased stress levels in their marriage relationship. If both partners are aware of this they can much better prepared to deal with situation.
Weight loss surgery is not a perfect path and it is very important to understanding both the positives and negatives of your decision.
