Bariatric surgery

I wish you the best with it. You will likely go through an evaluation physically and psychologically to see that surgery will be the best answer. The weight will come back. Maybe not all of it, but given enough years and continued bad habits the weight comes back. As you know I gained 70 over the years and its been no picnic trying to lose it. Surgeons don't like redoing the gastric bypass because the mortality rate is higher the second time around. If you stay away from fats and continue to eat small portions after the 18 month window, and walk a lot you should do well. Your diabetes will likely go away once you start losing.
