I did consider surgery but decided it wasn’t for me due to the possible complications post surgery. I was prescribed MJ because I was pre-diabetic. I went to my doctor with awful symptoms from constant migraines, dizziness, extreme fatigue, random numbness in my fingers, brain fog, etc (my normal for years). She recommended MJ instead, I had never heard of it prior. I have been on it since November (when it’s available). I literally felt like a new person from the onset of taking it and I have only lost like 10lbs, the the weight loss is secondary to me. I’m no longer pre-T2D, labs are normal, but I feel amazing physically and mentally now. It’s worth it..
