Get the opinion of the best in the field.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
To make the things clear again, I would like you to go to a Bariatric Surgery center for a consultation with their Dietitian, and the medical team as they will guide you the best. This does not mean that you have to undergo Surgery.

Bariatric Surgery is done only if you are willing and the Medical management fails. So do not worry at the moment about surgery at all.

You can get Medical advise alone and follow them to get the best and scientifically based way to have a permanent weight loss.

Feel free to ask for more.
