Hi Kirsty,
Thank you, I agree! For me, when my doctor performed the gastric bypass he provided me a use of a tool, and it is up to me to make it work for me a lifetime, or short term... It's been 5 years and no white sugar or fried foods... and I don't miss them.

pek, that is about the going price. We have health insurance and they paid all but about $1,300.00 USD. Good luck to your father.

Congratulatoin and best of health! Eating healthy isn't more expensive because you're not putting as much of carbs and fats in your diet. You're eating protein, fiber, complex carbs. I now hold a cooking class at my home every month on how to take normal foods and make them healthier.. It's been a great success as well as to know there are other people just like me wanting NEEDING to learn to eat better for their health. Keep us updated as to your journey.
