Oh that so resonates with me. I went back and forth so many times before surgery I made myself dizzy. I will not lie, as they were starting the IV and doing the prep for my surgery, I think a dozen times at least I had to almost bite my tongue to stop myself from saying ... " You know what I am good and this was fun but, I am just gonna go on home now"
I was very very scared, scared of the surgery itself, scared of the changes I knew I would have to make, scared it would not work. For me the only thing that stayed my tongue in the end that I was more scared of staying scared then I was of the surgery if that makes any kind of sense.
As I was going through my decision making process, I realized that for me a big part of how I got to where I was, was a thousand little broken promises to myself, I am sure you know the ones I mean, " This week I will start going to the gym or I am going to cut back on my carbs starting today, ect ect ... and then you don't do it and its another broken promise and it all adds up, it did for me anyway.
Now though, I keep a big promise to myself and with the tool I have now I am keeping those promises one day at time and it feels pretty good. I am fairly certain it will for you too!
Good luck!

Hello Everyone -
Started my research into weightloss surgery about a year and half ago and with much hemming and hawling and a ton of backing and forthing and a little bit of yes then no, I had my surgery on April 3rd of 2013. So, I am currently a week out and quite happy with the decision I made. The first few days where pretty bad but every day scince it has been better and better. As of today I feel pretty much back to normal, not bad for major surgery!!
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all who bravely post their stories on this site. I never said anything on the forums until today and just lurked for quite a while and though I did not actively participate it was without a doubt indispensiable and without being able to read real and honest stories I am not sure I ever would have been able to make the final decision to go ahead with it. So, thank you all and I hope to do the same in some small way now that I am through the other side of the proverbial looking glass.
