Yup. Honestly I consider WLS a form of cheating. If you can’t lose weight by eating less than there’s very little hope for you. I’m aware some people get a band and keep weight off for years. They’re far and few. I knew one ham who got one when she was 300lb at 5’4, got down to 150 and is slowly gaining. She claims she’s at 175 right now. She used to be so smug about her weight loss that “she worked so hard for” even though OHIP covered the procedure.
