My Uncle had his stomach stapled many years ago.  He said he would never have done it if he knew the pain involved.  
-I joined Weight Watchers and lost 55 lbs.  It is a great program and you have to exercise,  Start out but walking around the block and then go further every few days.  You have to be motivated which is difficult.
good luck

Hi Etta, If you scroll down the page to May 15, you asked the question on that date and three people have information to share with you.  I am sorry I do not have any advice for you but my prayers are with you.  Good Luck!
