  1. im in the same boat myself for a few reasons. The primary one being that I know I'm not ready, I've 95% made the decision to go from band to sleeve, but I'm not quite there yet and my eating needs to improve dramatically. Also, I live in Brooklyn, and summer in the city is fantastic, and I'm very active and social. Also, I'm turning 30 in September and want to have a huge party and go sky-diving, and also Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I was thinking about waiting until November and the colder months. So I'm torn between the rational decision of waiting until I'm truly ready, and the wanting to wait to not ruin my social life and favorite season! As for yourself, I think that prolonging the surgery because of wanting to indulge in summer foods may not be the best decision, in my opinion. Plus you said that your famiky wanted to you to wait for that reason, and it doesn't sound like the healthiest decision, and it also doesn't sound like YOUR decision. I've learned through one WLS already and through what is often said in my support groups is that the people around you, as much as they may love you, may not always have YOUR best intentions at heart. I mean even marriages break-up after one person gets WLS; just something to be aware of, and I hope I didn't sound too harsh. Best of luck!
