This is not the place to come to for advice on such an issue. If you are considering such a procedure I am sure there is a good reason for it and that you have researched a reliable and ethical physician. If your doctor is recommending this procedure for you then he must have told you the pros and cons and the commitment you must make in order for this to work for you. It is no walk in the park. The object of the procedure is to make your stomach smaller so that it will fill up quickly and you will eat less. I am sure that he will put you in touch with a nutritionist if he hasn’t done so already to discuss with you what foods you should be eating and what foods to cut out. He will probably tell you to eat 6 small meals a day rather than 3 big ones in order to allow your stomach to digest the recommended foods and the calorie intake he recommends. He will also recommend an exercise program. If your goal is to lose weight and get healthy then you will seriously follow his advise for a long term change in your way of life. IF you are looking for a quick fix to look good for a simcha or because you are just fed up with yourself then don’t bother. If you don’t change your way of life putting yourself through the surgery will only be a temporary fix until you go back to your old ways.
