They will want to make sure that you can handle the huge change in your life caused by the new way of eating, we have all used food as a crutch as a reward and once you have the op, that is gone. It is very hard to get used to and can have a really negative effect on people, even those who think we can handle it!!!

It is such a journey that you want to be as fit as you can mentally and physically before you start, if you need help best to have that in place before the journey starts.

Good Luck
