Come back in five years and tell us all about how you've kept it off without surgery!

Bariatric surgery causes lasting metabolic changes that aren't seen with IF.
Welcome back to your argument, BTW, we've missed you!

I don't know what "MO" is, but you are completely wrong. Not just me but plenty of other people consider surgery but decide against it. In fact, I would fight that hard to PREVENT anyone from doing it to me.
Yes, many or most of us here have struggled our whole lives with the "traditional remedies" and had the same bad results. I agree that the traditional "diet and exercise" methods suck and don't work.
It's amusing to me that here, on this forum for obese people (and I assume that includes you), you would use weight as an insult. VERY lame. And for the record, I don't weigh anywhere near that, of course.
I've lost 20% of my weight in six months., No surgery. Can you say the same?
Also, there is this:

"Hello Finsternis,
Welcome to OH
Let me introduce you to our site. From our "about OH" page. I had weight loss surgery in 2004 and it saved my life, my husband didn't and he died from obese related health issues. Any questions? "
Glad to hear that you OK. I'm sorry about your husband, and I'm sorry you had to resort to such unnecessarily drastic measures to do it, but at least you're OK.
My only question is, if you're here specifically for WLS people, why do you call the site "Obesity Help"? Because it's not "obesity help" in general, it is WLS help specifically. Your name is very misleading.
As I said in other replies, that 4 years was 3.5 years of continuing to try to old ways, and 6 months of total success. Which is to say, I only found out about the best way six months ago. But I'm SO glad I didn't have WLS! I get *all* the exact same benefits with no surgery!
Then why is the site called "Obesity Help" and not "WLS help"?
Thanks, I will try to. So far 6 months and 20% weight loss. No signs of slowing down, no signs of ever wanting to stop, no cravings to go back to the old way. So I'm psyched!
