Reading this reminded me of some of the concerns I have had about the surgery. Mines is scheduled for May 3rd and in preparing for my two week liquid diet, I began thinking about all the foods I was giving up. I also thought about how these foods put me in the situation I am now to have the surgery. For 32 years I ate what I wanted with no regard and now I'm paying the cost because I'm uncomfortable in my skin and I have little kids I want to see grow up. pizza and burgers are not more important than a healthy future or my kids. My 33rd birthday is this Friday and it will be my last being the big guy and I'm proud of that.
The surgery isn't for everyone and if traditional methods worked for me, I wouldn't do this, but to me the pros outweigh the cons. I'm ready for the next phase of my life.
