Thank you all for your opinions, i truly appreciate all of them and I'm taking everyone's pointers to heart! Including the tough love! These are all things I will contemplate on in the next few weeks and I know if I continue with the surgery I will be 100% positive and ready but until then, I'll keep you guys updated on my journey! Thanks again!

love this. I appreciate the support!! ????

Thank you both so much, and MrsSugarbabe you make a very valid point when you say how will my life be any different if I don't have the surgery. And BTW I'm trying to update my profile and add my pictures but I'm 251lbs 5'6 and I'm 5 lbs down from my highest weight.

Hello all my fellow sleevers! I'm 5 months into my nutritional visits so I have 1 more before I get to submit to insurace for approval. Iv been having second thoughts about the surgery and its giving me so much anxiety I can barely sleep at night. My life is great.. To a point. I have amazing friends and we love to go out and party quite often. There's only one thing.. I miss out on so much because I hate my body. Its kills my self esteem every time I'm out and I can't even get a guys head to turn because I'm constantly surrounded by my beautiful tiny friends. I want to lose the weight, I want to be happy but I just wonder, how am I going to be happy if I loose the weight and can't go out and have fun? And please don't judge me when I say this, but I'm 21 and "going out and having fun" always includes drinking. I mean I know I'm going to have to stay away from alcohol for a good 3 months after and my tolerance is going to be a lot lower but has anyone been able to maintain a party life with healthy vsg foods and proper exercise? And I know alcohol is extra calories but I really could use some insite from someone my age who understands the struggles I'm having. PLEASE comment!! Is there anyone out there who's like me?!
